We got 20 minutes into the Manson murders and had to turn it off.

The narration was all over the place - back and forth through time and constantly repeating. If there isn't enough content for an hour long show without the repetition then it probably isn't worth the time to make. Sadly, there is oodles of material on Manson, so it shouldn't have been a problem.

The reenactment, likewise, was played over and over again - presumably for the shock value. It was gruesome and unnecessary - once was certainly enough.

To top it off, the visual effects were a disaster. Herky jerky movements and transitions designed - I presume - to increase the dramatic tension and mystery. All it achieved was to trigger a migraine.

Other effects included what amounted to 1960's style cartoon laser beams shooting from peoples eyes/faces. The first time I saw it, I couldn't believe it. Then they did it again, and again.

You insult the intelligence of your audience with this style of production.
