The Serial Killers Reviews:
AHHH THE MUSIC!!! 
2009-11-29 - I enjoyed this set. It had good information but the music drives me crazy. The background music is like nothing you've ever heard. its pretty laughable. I was able to look past it to the information but if you think annoying background music will distract you then this set is not for you
Epic... 
2009-09-21 - Too much boring serial killer material out there, trust me, i studied it for over half of my life time....
This is epic, i got it 2 months ago, Seen episodes on it atleast some of them 20 times over and over again, those episodes with direct serial killer interviews, oppossed to story telling episodes mostly, the prior, close profiling, tend to be the most psychological serial killer kick profiles you find out there!
If your study is mankind and its obscurity devised within the blood of man, you will never get enough of this DVD SET...
Some of the best you can find on Amazon.
Regards Viking.
Only one complaint 
2009-09-06 - that is the comentary intro is the same for every episode, which are maybe 4 per DVD, and it is an intro lasting several mintues, ie. Caince killed Able, Chronus sleuth, blah blah blah.
Interesting, but ugly music
2009-01-23 - Have to agree with other reviewers that the music chosen for this documentary is downright ugly. It includes seemingly random horn blasts, piano that doesn't quite make it into the category of "eerie" or "sinister-sounding" (more like awkward and just plain weird, as though a cat were walking across the keyboard), and other ill-placed percussion sounds that really detract from the whole thing. It occasionally even sounds like the theme from Seinfeld! Just really not cool for a show of this nature and it's unfortunate that the music creeps in so often. If you can get beyond the music, the content is interesting enough. Lots of interviews with people involved in various serial killer investigations dating back to the 1940s.
However, if you were to ask me to recommend a good show on serial killers, this wouldn't be it. I can say that it complements a collection of serial killer programs well, if you're interested enough in the field to actually have a collection, but I wouldn't consider this one informative enough to be your only show. Not sure if that makes any sense.
First words that come to mind.. Bland & Boring!! 
2009-01-21 - The narration in this pack is the worst I have EVER heard.. Its so bland and boring its so hard to get into and pay any attention to.. I was most certainly disapointed with this purchase and wouldnt reccomend it to anyone.
