Frank Salerno, the detective largely credited with solving the "Hillside Strangler" (actually, should be "stranglers") case is assigned to several new cases of ultra-violence. Soon, he starts getting more and more of these while at the same time his old-time partner retires. In steps chubby young firebrand, Gil Carrillo. Det. Carrillo, a meticulous examiner of detail, notices disturbing similarities---- and the hunt for a serial killer is on.The NS guy is fascinating for several unique characteristics, but this series focuses not only on these, but how the forensics, witnesses, and doggedness of the detectives led to his capture. Yeah, there's a lot of nastiness--- I'm a little amused when critics fault these shows for it.
If you like police thrillers, this one is very good--- and it's fact.

"E Burres Stigano?"
Indeed it is.
About 80% betterer than , say, "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" which approaches the
subject differently and thusly is much less effective.
You really get a sense of how terrified people were of The Night Stalker at the time.
We were, and we were in SF!
Salerno and (especially) Carrillo are gems, Bless them for being so skilled.

I wish they would make a docu-series about the Hillside Strangler(s). It involved one and eventually two serial killers in LA. There were I believe nine murders before they were apprehended. One of them (Bianchi) claimed he had multiple personality disorder (now called dissociative identity disorder). One of the experts for the prosecution thought he was faking, but a defense expert has continued to believe for the last 40 years that Bianchi had DID. Of interest, Bianchi had a faked college degree that he used to practice as a psychologist.
There was a terrible movie about this case released in 2004.
I'm sure there will be one on the Hillside Duo. BTK, our local guy here in KS, is the looming presence in the "Mindhunter."
"I'll Be Gone in the Dark," the HBO mini-series about the Golden State Killer is supposed to be the best of this genre. I ain't seen it yet not being an HBO subscriber.
Mrs. Nasty and I started this and watched the first 2 epis (out of 6). For some reason we quit and I eventually erased the other 4 from the DVR. We should probably revisit it one day. I'm sure it wasn't dislike that caused us to quit watching, just probably something else came along.....

there was something that prevented us from going past Epi 2.

"E Burres Stigano?"
But for a documentary on a serial killer, McNamara's story/obsession just detracted from the "plot" of what could have been a better case story.
A too many course meal when meat and spuds would suffice.
