Shocking, interesting, well delivered....but
OriginalTeslaGirl11 March 2024
A very interesting dive into serial killer Graham Young. Very in depth, but not quite the high level of production value we've come to expect from True Crime documentaries in recent years. Great interviews, and experts that are able to explain clearly without overly "dumbing down". It does seem to run longer than needed, but that may be due to the 'but'...

The only, and honestly rather glaring, negative point is the actor providing voice-over readings of Young's letters. It is such a wildly over-the-top, cartoonish, comic book villain type performance that it's just in such stark contrast to the very serious interviews & expert analyses so as to take you out of it.

I found myself more put off by this than the subject matter, and I'm certain I sprained my eyes rolling them so hard. I am convinced he specifically grew a little moustache to twirl just for the role.

Constant background music annoying

Sorry, would love to have seen this, but from the getgo the beginning was disjointed. When the programme eventually started, it was again disjointed and appallingly put together.

If I wanted to listen to music whilst the important and essential witnesses were talking, I would have put some background music on Alexa.

The music was an absolute distraction and simply unnecessary. I switched off after 29 minutes hoping it would get better??? Nope not worth my time and effort. It was and is simply awfully produced and such a shame given the subject and the amount of people who were talking about the terrible crime, firsthand.
