I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The new Unsolved Mysteries just isn’t the same without Robert Stack. Or having a variety of cases.

Not sure. I'd have to think about it. But I'd nominate both OJ Simpson series'. The documentary is probably superior but the scripted one is also wonderful.
Other than that... ? The Jinx, The Staircase, Abducted in Plain Sight, Wild Wild Country, and Making a Murderer all come to mind for non-scripted docu-options.
I've also heard great things about The Keepers and Don't Fuck With Cats. But I haven't seen either of those so I can't vouch for them personally.

Did you just pluralize "series" but adding an apostrophe at the end? I thought I knew you, man.

Just a typo, friend. I'd be embarrassed but the world is on fire so it's a little hard to give a shit, ya'know?

I really liked the two OJ Simpson series, Don’t Fuck With Cats and Atlanta's Missing And Murdered: The Lost Children, and season one of Making A Murderer.
I’ll check out the other ones. Not a fan of The Jinx.

I know the documentary really goes for an ambiguous message. The way i see it, the police really went for him and exaggerated the statements. But Jesse´s attorney said it clear. He confessed.
I also saw Amanda Knox yesterday. Loooved it.

I liked The Jinx but I was kind of upset when I found out the editing of the ending bombshell ("I killed them all of course") was misleading

yeah, it was super hard. All the victims stories are super hard to watch, and even if it happened a long time ago, you can see they are still in pain for what happened.
