\"Night<\/p>\n

(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong><\/a>, a series where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Series:\u00a0<\/strong>Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer<\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It:\u00a0<\/strong>Netflix
\nThe Pitch:<\/strong> It\u2019s a true crime series about the police detectives who were tasked with solving the case of the notorious Night Stalker (real name: Richard Ramirez) in 1970s and \u201980s Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s a well-structured and well-paced documentary series that does not overstay its welcome. If you\u2019ve watched just about anything on Netflix, you know how often stories can be dragged out \u2013 often feeling like they\u2019re just treading water to kill time or create filler. There\u2019s none of that here: Night Stalker<\/em> is only four episodes, and for the most part, it feels like you learn just about everything you need to know about this case.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show follows Gil Carillo and Frank Salerno, two L.A. County Sheriff\u2019s Department detectives who are partnered up and find themselves hunting down a man who commits some of the most heinous crimes on the books. Whereas many killers have a clear \u201ctype\u201d of person they pursue, Richard Rodriguez assaulted, molested, and\/or murdered his targets seemingly at random \u2013 and as the documentary details, communication problems between law enforcement agencies resulted in additional needless deaths.<\/p>\n

While edging into sensationalistic territory at times (a blood-covered hammer spinning in slow motion is the nadir), this series admittedly takes a pretty cool app<\/a>roach to depicting crime scenes that I haven\u2019t quite seen before. In addition to showing us old Polaroids from police archives, the documentary also recreates most of the crime scenes in hyper-detailed CGI, allowing a virtual camera to zoom through the location and orient the viewer in a way that the 2D photos can\u2019t always provide.<\/p>\n

While the majority of the show is focused on these two detectives who were tracking the case, without spoiling anything I\u2019ll say that there\u2019s a community aspect to this, too, one that helps Los Angeles feel like a living, breathing place instead of a faceless backdrop for horrific crime. There are a few more little quibbles (you can hear me talk more about this on our most recent Water Cooler episode of \/Film Daily), but overall, there\u2019s a lot to recommend here if you like true crime stories and aren\u2019t already overly familiar with the details of the Rodriguez case.
