First of all I think this DVD set is very interesting, bizarre but interesting. This 13-part series ranges from the extreme and chilling (Jack the Ripper, September 11, Black Dahlia) to the outlandish and outrageous (celebrity DUI and shoplifting scandals). You go from Al Capone to Snoop Dogg (!), from The Zodiac Killer to Martha Stewart. So it's a strange mix of cases but for every weak case (Lil' Kim, Sophia Loren) there's at least two very interesting cases. The segments are not very long, and that's what is so diappointing about this set, the entire documentary is only 5 hours long, it's disappointing when you know that most documentaries made by Mill Creek are between 7 and 9 hours long. This Documentary should have been at least 8 hours long. But this is still a very good buy, for only 10$ you can't go wrong. Buy this very interesting, entertaining ( but bizarre ) Documentary.

very little value, should not have bought it. Little interest not much back ground of the subject matter and story's

I only made it through the first hour of this before I actually just threw it away. I watched it the same day I received it. The show was very unorganized and was trying to do too much without any real reporting or consistency in information... not recommended at all...
