It's not as graphic as everyone makes it out to be. There are crime shows all over TV, now, that show much the same.
It is interesting, but they dragged it out to make it more dramatic. They also were trying to inflate the miler to another level. It could have easily been done in one or two less episodes. Too much time spent on personalizing the police and families involved to humanize them all. The same story could have been told without all that, with the same result. Their personal lives don't add value in telling the story of what happen. Just focus on the details, the sequence of events, and investigation. Too slow with too much fill.
Clearly screen time, for those involved, was an objective here.
