Yeah, everything real crime always felt exploitative to me. I get shows about police and prosecutors framing people but the ones that focus on the crime and criminal itself are just playing into this weird American obsession with serial killers. Other then Breivik I can’t name any murderers from Europe. We just lock them up and forget about them. No need to turn them into celebrities.
I know there was a guy in Poland called ‘the Vampire of… someplace’ but I don’t remember his name. There was also a guy called Rurabomber, setting up bombs all over Warsaw. He too was caught and forgotten. I’m sure you can find their names on wikipedia if you’re into those things but they simply don’t exist in popular culture.
