Watched the first ep of the new Night Stalker true crime series on Netflix. I was a kid new to the LA area that summer of '85, and tonally/aesthetically this series gets at something about LA in the 80s that I think most period stuff lacks.

Does it present the case in responsible way? I like true crime documentaries but I trying to focus on the ones the are more respectful of the human suffering and don't create a spectacle.

I think it fails in this regard at times. There is some great material in the interviews with lead detectives and survivors and it is sometimes quite moving, but it also sometimes sensationalizes, and builds up certain moments it shouldn't just for dramatic effect.
