The Night Stalker was a complete lunatic. He would break in and rape everything in the house. Wife, grandmother, men, women, kids, pets, goldfish... one lady said that wasn't even enough because he started rubbing one out right there in the kitchen, too. He was like Hannible Lector's cell neighbor hopping around all over the place pounding them out.
Documentary/Docuseries recs?

I just watched "Class Action Park" on HBO Max and I really liked it.
It's about water park in NJ that was very dangerous causing LOTS of injuries and some deaths.
The "rides" were insane!

Night stalker doc on netflix is good. Doesn’t really go into his character or motives but it shows how the police caught him.
Great series.
A friend of mine is also named Richard Ramirez and was a teenager/early twenties when all this was going on and grew up in LA. I’ve been meaning to ask him if he was one of the 8 Richard Ramirez’s they had finger prints for.
It's great. It's about when I cared about baseball and when my dad & grandpa did. Grandpa played for the Twelve Mile (KY) All-Stars around 1900. He really hit the big-time! Took me to Reds Opening Day Game at Crosley in 1963 at age 82 - him, not me.
In several episodes, he uses Negro Leagues player Buck O'Neil as a commentator. He was excellent. Played mainly for KC Monarchs. The reason I bring this up is that shortly after I watched the series - when it first came out - was coming home from a business trip to KC & walked down the plane aisle. Mr. O'Neil was sitting there and I got excited. I shook his hand and told him what a great job he'd done. Was really surprised. Don't think he was used to being a recognized celebrity. Made my week.
I started "The Most Dangerous Animal of All" last night.
It's a documentary about a guy who thinks his biological father was the Zodiac Killer, which is a case I've followed for over 20 years.
I've watched the first episode of 4 and I really liked it!

I agree on Wild, Wild Country and Adbucted in Plain Sight. The Tiger Woods documentary on HBO Max is good as well. I have been watching Tread on Netflix and it's been interesting so far.
It is about the history of country music from the early days until the mid to late 90's. If you like country and especially stuff like Hank Williams Sr, Hank Snow, Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, Johnny Cash, etc then you should love it. I don't think you can watch anywhere except PBS or by purchasing the DVD's. Ebay is the best place to buy the DVD's.

Looks like all of the Country Music ones are on YouTube

Great idea.
I’d like to add there is an app called JustWatch and it can tell you where you can stream any television show or movie.
I use it all the time.
Several posters have mentioned Netflix. Another good one on there is Manhunt
eadly Games. About 8 or 9 part series about Richard Jewel, Olympic bombing, Eric Rudolph.
Another one, and I think it is still on Netflix, is about the Unabomber. Can't remember the name of it but I think it is also Manhunt....but can't remember what's after that.
Both are very, very good.

I finished this one tonight. It's kind of up and down for me but overall I'd recommend it, especially if you're interested in the Zodiac case.
I've started watching "King's if Pain" on the History Channel.
It's a couple of guys getting bitten and stung by insects much like Coyote Peterson but they are also being bitten and stung by spiders, fish, snakes, etc.
They are ranking the pain for each critter on a scale from 1 - 30
If you are interested in Military Documentaries, specifically WWII, I strongly recommend the YouTube History Channel's
Some are short and others are Full episodes.
The one below is queued up to highlight a Kentucky native,
Rear Adm. Willis A. Lee, Commander of a battleship group including the USS Washington, BB-56.
When dispatched to the waters off Guadalcanal to defend Marines against Japanese naval forces, he sent a message to the rest of the US naval fleet:
"Stand aside, I am coming through"

It's almost criminal no one mentions The World at War, a classic and available on DVD.

It's already been mentioned, but Cocaine Cowboys on Prime and Pluto is great. Lots of memorable characters, but my favorite was Rivi Ayala, who was a cartel hitman. In his interview he came across as a guy you could be friends with. He is believed to have killed 36 people, but as he stated, it was nothing personal, just business.
I also recommend Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room, which is about the Enron scandal. It's on Prime as well.

I watched most of a good last night on Netflix ( i think ?) " White Boy Rick" about a white KID in Detroit in the 80's and his rise in the coke business and the unbelievable amount of corruption in the city Govt .. the mayors daughter was married to the biggest drug dealer in town , and then was banging white boy rick also .. its insane .
OT . but the animated comedy series " Paradise PD " is outrageously funny. Raunchy as heck , but dang .. its sharp .
Ken Burns's Hemingway 3 part series on PBS is excellent. It is being broadcast OTA in parts but is also available complete to binge on Prime with a 7 day trial to the PBS channel there.
