Sasha Reid and the Midnight Order

I love true crime. This show is fast turning into one of the very best out there. Cheers to Sasha Reid and her smart, thoughtful team for spotlighting crime victims who would otherwise be forgotten. I was once asked by a male friend, "why are women so obsessed with serial killers?" I think many people are interested in learning more about what makes a serial killer tick. For women, we can readily and easily empathize with women who have been targeted and murdered by a serial killer. We know it could have easily been us. We also watch to look out for the signs of a psychopath. Knowledge is power. Sasha and her team are bringing that in droves.

Part of America wants to always be and remain a victim. If that is you, this show is for you.

637 markers of a serial killer? If you list 637 items, any individual is going to have hundreds of those. Your list is useless.

ABOUT MY REVIEWS:

I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.

My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

Truly a ridiculous and quasi unethical enterprise. Pure conjecture and pseudoscience preying on victimized parties and correspondingly the community. I don't know how this got made and why Disney/Hulu or whomever financed it.

I will guarantee that the accreditations, alleged expertise, and professional designations that these people purport to have will not stand up to scrutiny by proper governing bodies. I challenge anyone to contact the RCMP or any other of the policing and professional association to question the stated merit of the "Midnight Order".

Of most concern is how predatory these ladies and backers are on the clearly vulnerable and grieving families of the all to real victims.

So much of the true crime media space is devoted to a kind of voyeurism around pain and suffering, but this series aims to highlight work that is truly victim-centric. It's also really refreshing to show the value of civilian expertise, and the way an outsider's perspective may broaden the scope of understanding a crime or series of crimes-- the more we highlight and talk about this, the more willing police agencies will become to accepting help they desperately need in many cases. Dr. Reid and her team are wonderful, and a great model for those who want to know what it looks like to be devoted to the truth above ego or attention.

Stupid, what a waste of time. I picture these women reporting on the horrors of shopping at Philene's Basement. They cover topics that are long since resolved and make every effort to show there is a conspiracy. I gave this show a try, I just wont waste any more of my time. It is so ridiculous I think even the people they interview seem happy they are going to get a chance to be on TV rather than having to be part of their "solution". I am only taking the time to write this is so no one else gets to lose a couple of hours of their lives on this stupidity. HULU must be desperate to fill time slots. Look for documentaries from Great Britain, Canada has one bomb after the other.
