I like this show, BUT

Warning: Spoilers
I do really enjoy this show, but it makes me kind of angry when there are even minute errors, because you're trying to relay a story of tragedy that affected the lives of many, and the least you can do is have all your facts straight.

There seems to be a lot of inconsistencies throughout the episodes. One episode had a guy who raped 4 women, but only murdered two, and that was stated quite a bit, however when wrapping up the end, one interviewed detective(?) stated firstly that he was tried in court for 3 attempted murders and three murders (prior to knowing about the 4th raped & murdered victim), but it was already revealed to us that he only murdered one woman that they knew of at the time (the second wouldn't be found out until about a decade later), and made no mention of sexual assault charges. I think he may have misspoke at that moment, but that's where you stop and do another take.

Another episode, upon introduction, stated the last name of a woman as Starbuck, but less than a minute later, when she came on screen for her recounting of events, her last name was Starks.

I feel like even if this stuff isn't caught by the producers, it should at least be noted by the editor(s) who undoubtedly must see these contradictions.

It also feels like they take liberties with the way certain characters behave and how the story goes, as well as flat out omitting victims and events.

Not perfect, but an entertaining watch nonetheless.
