I truly enjoy how they have compartmentalized murder. ĭon’t get me wrong I love the ID channel and am a confessed “ID addict” with my own Joe Kenda mug. But the real culprit is the big daddy of them all, the channel that 73.9 percent of American households have and over 100 million watch: Investigation Discovery. I blame the rise in real-life forensic shows like Cold Case Files, Dateline and 20/20. Their stories shine a light on a case that's still yet to be fully cracked.How did this happen? Isn’t CSI one of those shows that critics, bloggers and TV writers always called a “ ratings juggernaut“? Maybe for a while, but that is no longer the case.
Filthy Rich is an infuriating watch, as it largely leaves the figure it's about unknowable, but the survivors are heard and understood. While Epstein died under mysterious circumstances while in prison in 2019, viewers actively searching for conspiracy fodder with this doc will instead find a carefully sourced, self-consciously scrupulous attempt to untangle some of the mysteries in Epstein's biography, while also giving voice to the many young women he abused.
So, it was hardly surprising that Netflix jumped on a four-part documentary series, directed by Lisa Bryan and executive produced by Joe Berlinger ( Paradise Lost trilogy) and James Patterson, the author of countless bestsellers and a non-fiction book on the subject. With his access to vast wealth and proximity to incredible power, Jeffrey Epstein, the predatory billionaire at the center of an international sex-trafficking ring, is a uniquely gripping subject for an investigative documentary. Although New Yorkers may still deride the tourist spot, it wasn't always full of Broadway shows and M&M stores, and the docuseries examines its history in the '70s and '80s when the neighborhood was mainly for drug use and sex work, allowing for the Times Square Torso Ripper to run rampant. The series tries to make sense of theories that arm chair detectives have evaluated for years, ever since the case's surveillance footage went viral online, and there are enough peculiarities here to keep you from cutting your stay short. Then, for its second season, the series heads across the country and back in time to examine another site of infamy: Times Square. The subject of this doc, though, is the death of Canadian traveler Elisa Lam, whose body was discovered in a water tank in the hotel in 2013. In its first season, The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, the series checks into LA's scariest hotel: the Cecil, which has experienced more than a few horror stories. Crime Scene is an anthology from Paradise Lost trilogy and The Ted Bundy Tapes filmmaker Joe Berlinger, with each installment unpacking the infamy behind specific locations where crimes have taken place.
