Instead, the series chooses to glorify the police and place them up on a pedestal a questionable decision given the current social climate. On the other, it places little to no emphasis on Richard Ramirez’s motivations or extremely harsh upbringing. On one hand, it’s an easily binge-able and engaging series about the detectives investigating and hunting for one of the most notorious American serial killers. I find myself conflicted after watching this latest foray into the true crime genre from Netflix.
