It's not my style. It reads like a true crime novel. I like concise and matter-of-fact reporting. This has too much fluff and presumptive adjectives/adverbs for me. It seems like the series would probably make a good Netflix "docuseries" (I use quotes because I feel many of them are over dramatized). This does remind me... the closest articles I've seen to the quality of the OP's posted article I've found on Aeon. It can be hit or miss though.
