The thing that I wish was more, that she really wanted to be more focused on, and I'm seeing it in a lot of these, but not in all of them, is what she wanted the focus to be on was the investigators and was the victims, rather than making these serial killers have to be these dark anti-heroes.
Serial killers are zilches.
The reason that they're killing people is because they're a zilch in life.
They're not contributing anything, so I'll take something.
So the fact that she was able to do something to put the focus on the people that are trying to bring justice to the powerless, or the voiceless, in this case the dead, or the people that survived,
or, you know, survive to testify and and still put themselves at risk with these because a lot of these if you really look at the Ted Bundy case, like the way that he was treated, like, oh, my God, it's so tragic, this bright young guy with a

just weak villains are being rewarded day after day after day.
And no one seems to be willing to do anything about it.
So yes, I'll take a fictional world where yes, even though evil's done, evil gets punished.
