It feels like more than half of the program is just telling you how Times Square and New York were at the time. Literally every detail is just repeated over and over and over again and they keep over explaining everything as if they don't trust that the viewer is even watching. Like, we got the point the first time, we got it on the 5th time, just move on please. I could have even feel like I learned something about Times Square's history and find it interesting if it was at least told in an interesting way, but the way it is being told over and over again just made me stop caring and start counting the seconds for when they finally move on.
Not only that but most details are not even important for the main story, they are just background details to the era/location, yet are still repeated million times, despite the fact that the exact same murders could have easily happened in a different location with different victims if only the murderer was located somewhere else to begin with. It is just exhausting to keep looking for the relevant details within this repetitive unrelated boredom.
If you are looking for a documentary that just tells you what the sex industry in Times Square was like between late 70s and early 80s, this is perfect for you. But if you are looking for something that covers the actual crime story of said serial killer, you will have a better time watching a quick YouTube video that actually has focus on the story you came to watch.
