AVClub: In the wake of “Innocent Might Be A Bit Of A Stretch,” I find myself asking a question: what makes a serial killer story good? It’s a time-honored tradition throughout TV, and yet there’s so clearly a difference between when it’s done right and when it’s done wrong. Your good serial killer stories—Hannibal, True Detective season one, The Fall—are the ones that are less about the killers than they are about the people hunting them, a fixation on the rot that their actions represent. Your bad serial killer stories—Criminal Minds, The Following—are the ones that fetishize the violence that these people perpetuate, practically reveling in every horrible act that’s more often than not performed on a crying young woman. The former uses psychology to elicit a reaction, while the latter is all about exploitation.
