I actually head about The Green River Killer. Its a new miniseries on LMN. I think its good they made it into a miniseries only because I remember reading up on it when I first heard about it coming out and there is just sooo much information on it. Hopefully its not too overdramatic. Its a good Sunday night movie.

It took me forever to figure out what LMN meant. haha. Silly me. Did anyone get to watch this? I don't know if I like it as a miniseries. I watched the first part last night and now I"m stuck another night in front of the TV to watch the rest. It was pretty good though.
preppy
Awww man I watched the green river killer miniseries the first night and was so into it and then last night watched the second half. I just couldn't get into the last half. Not that it was bad, but just that the first night kept my interest more. What did everyone else thinK?

Ok... Definitely worth staying up to watch part two!
