Night Stalker: The Hunt For a Serial Killer

"Nobly attempts to deglamorise Richard Ramirez’s crimes but can’t help looking for heroes in a bungled police investigation."

"Lurid production values undercut solid reporting."

"The "nature of evil" questions that Ramirez inspires often wander into navel-gazing banality, but the human cost of reining in such evil elevates Night Stalker from mere police procedural into something far more sophisticated and complicated."

"An interesting true crime series that still feels a little disappointing when compared to other major event series like it in the last few years."

"Seeks to re-create a climate of nasty fear for no ultimate higher purpose than four hours of thrills and chills."

"There's a methodical progression that Russell adheres to that I admired."

"Joins the ranks of the very best true crime shows in recent memory."
