It's seems the negative reviews have some sort of ulterior motives, anyone interest in shows involving unsolved crimes/murders would find this show interesting.I can say despite the negative reviews the families who live in the wakes of these murders are happy to see some attention and light shined on these cases.

This is not good. It's a bad show, a very bad show. Please don't spend your money on it. They have good material to work with, but would rather be on camera themselves than investigating. This is not a documentary. This is actors acting like documentarians. I don't mind watching liars tell a good story, but they are not very good at it. They obviously lie all the time and they have obviously asked other people to lie on camera. There is a lot of biased documentary, but this is some of the most amateurish garbage I have watched since Killer Legends.

I like many have always loved following and keeping up with real life unsolved murders especially that of serial killings. Of late one of the most famous is that of the "Long Island Serial Killer" and that's where this A@E series "The Killing Season" begins. The series follows two Documentarians Joshua and Rachel who investigative serial killings all around the U.S., as mentioned the series starts out on Long Island, only to branch out to Atalntic City, NJ as a group of bodies found in America's playground were similar to the ones in Long Island, NY with all being sex workers, escorts, and street walkers could it be the same killer? The series makes connection to different unsolved murders it features interviews with victims family members and police and theories are provided from private investigators and comments are giving on the web from many sources. Plus geography plays a part in the series as Josh and Rachel believe that the killer travels up and down the east coast and the interstate system is looked up at as a dumping ground of truck driving serial killers. And VICAP is spotlighted and the theory is giving that police around the country don't share information and police corruption is often the problem that many of these serial cases aren't solved. The series even branches out west to the New Mexico sand area to hunt for a killer after many bodies are found. Overall thought provoking and informative investigative series need I say more.

That review is from watching the first 6 episodes out of 8.This attracted me because of the reported similarities to the Making A Murderer series. Sadly, however interesting the topi at hand is, the approach and tone is pure sensationalism, the editing is one of reality TV character, and the humanity and emotional aspects are vastly lacking. In itself it could be OK, but as the "investgation" is heavily leaning on the grimmest possible path, you start to feel that the producers wanted to mix the last scene from "Seven" with TV reality storytelling. Oh, and it doesn't help that throughout, we learn that the investigation led by the journalists has actually mostly matched the ones led by police departments. Two episodes to go, but I can already safely say that this isn't something I'd recommend my family to watch, unlike "Making A Murderer". In the end, the results of the investigation might be interesting, but this was tastelessly done to say the least. I just wish I could follow this without feeling like I'm watching porn...
