Of course people are. I was excited for it, and I knew they had to take artistic license with it or there wouldn't be enough material, bit it's way over-the-top. They included John List and the murders as part of the house's history, and he was a character in the show which I found to be ridiculous. And even though 99% of the show was fictionalized they couldn't even make up a decent ending.

Dude was writing the letters to himself and he just forgot lol. It’s a make-believe store made by magic dragons . Instead of doing a documentary series on iceman the hitman that killed over 100 people and stuffed them in ice cream trucks has a real story. Fuck Westfield and the mall while we at it

There's a whole series of interviews with the Iceman on HBO. It's been out for years.

Yes I know but they can turn those tapes in to a 9 part series just like the Witcher…

Extremely loosely based on a real story. It is true that a homeowner in Westfield got a few letters, the rest is imagination.

Awful show. A homeowner receiving letters is the only thing the show gets right. The rest doesn’t even attempt to create compelling true crime. It’s just over the top, Ryan Murphy nonsense.

Ugh, total letdown.

Totally. Came out the gates really good, then limped to the finish. Could have been so much better.

Couldn't watch it after the first episode. Very disappointing.
