I feel this was a terrible execution of truly terrible events that needed to be told. The production should have concentrated on the story with less theatrics. A case of: less is more, let the story tell itself through the great interviews and players.
For instance, there were so many of the same repetitive b-roll shots of crosses, aerials and street signs in all three episodes. The victims photos on the table that were placed and then moved by hands as if they were playing cards was such a distracting, almost disrespectful (in regards to repetition of this gesture) gimmick. I would have really liked to have seen this story executed differently. There were super strong interviews and powerful grieving family members.
I was very confused why this docuseries made the connection with the three murders that had not taken place in the namesake of the show, The Killing Field. I felt these could have been mentioned but not covered as much as the four victims in the field, and it really took away from the series, IMO.
Lastly, I would have really liked to have seen journalistic efforts into everything that went wrong with the initial investigation... the botched autopsy (skull), the shoddy police work, etc. So much was not told and just glossed over, like the NASA scientist that ended up potentially killing himself. Let's get his family an interview and tell every side to this story.
