I am a fan of brevity. If a story is complex and has many important threads to cover, take the time/wordcount to do it correctly, but I worship at the altar of good editing.

I did enjoy it, mostly, but I think McMillions could have been one or two episodes. Six was excessive (even though I wanted more of that one jocular FBI agent).

I think usually, if a crime is solved, it should take less time to tell the story than an unsolved crime with several theories. If an entire mythos has built up around a historical crime, I understand why it could take more than one episode, but I also think there should be many fewer crimes that fall into that category than humanity currently allows.

I'd like to see something on Maura Murray, but that's in part because I kind of want to gawk at James Renner try to be a mental gymnast in real time.

I’d like a Betting On Zero-style doc about Lularoe’s implosion, once it fully collapses. I’ve watched some great YouTube videos on it. Deanne Brady Stidham is actually related to killer surgeon John Robert Brown, who did unlicensed gender-reassignment surgeries before he performed a medically-unnecessary leg amputation improperly and killed that patient. Come to think of it, that’s a doc in itself. Munecat on YouTube turned up that fact, and the Behind the Bastards podcast did an episode on Brown.

The recent Bill Hwang case sounds like it's got great potential, and also the very scammy world of NFTs. There is a recent case out of Russia which is getting practically no attention in the West, of a rapper called Andy Cartwright who either od'd or was killed by his wife, then found dismembered in their flat. It's gruesome and psychologically twisted stuff.

I'm certain I've mentioned this before, but my wish is for an Anthony Pellicano (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Pellicano) doc.

No entries in the true crime race, but whoever plays Jerry Orbach better be able to sing and sing something swank in the film. The end.
