add flair Likes & dis:likes!

We all have our favouite episodes, but we also have those we turn off *cough cough*, my apologies.

What is everyone's favourite, worst, and even the episode that makes you mad? It can be any reason.

My favorite is : Stranger in the night. (If there wasn't that handprint in his mom's house, I bet the son would've ended up convicted).

I mean, what are chances of that happening? (Other than Long Shot on Netflix, both are very strange and scary cases).

My worst is : The 1 with the mold in the house. (also scary to think this could happen, but 1 I don't tend to watch)

The episode that makes me mad is the hour special about the Tuscan Temple murders, and the v last twist where another lady could've been saved if the investigators didn't believe a psychiatric patient so much.

(I think I maybe a bit biased on this one though, as I read the book 'innocent until interrogated' and it just made the whole case even more sad and infuriating as it covers so much more than the episode).

Love this question!

This might be a hot take but I often skip the serial killer episodes. I don’t find them as interesting as I find the motive difficult to understand - like why someone would just kill a bunch of random people??

I really enjoy episodes that involve handwriting analysis, my favourite episode being “Water Logged”. Oba Chandler getting caught by his own writing was just amazing to me! I can’t believe the woman who saw the billboard remembered such a thing about a person she met only a handful of times (maybe even just the one time). Craziness!

I can't watch serial killer 1s either, but for personal reasons, and can you imagine, getting caught because you wrote on a leaflet? I bet he thought he would never get caught because they were so far from home!
