In 1982 seven people, mostly in and around Chicago, died suddenly and without explanation. The victims included three people from one family and a child from another. Eventually, a nurse quickly saw a common thread between the deaths; the victims all took the common pain reliever Tylenol, but their capsules were laced with cyanide. The deaths were soon dubbed the "Tylenol Murders" and started a frenzy to find the person responsible as fear spread across the country and store owners pulled Tylenol from their shelves.

"Poorly executed! This documentary should have been done in one hour and half, at most. The Five part docuseries was incredibly repetitive, which led to frustrated fast forwarding leaving me to miss the one new piece to the story within the 40 minute segment. It was frustrating to watch, it seems like they threw every piece of news footage they had in it, whether it was related t the story or not. I wouldn't recommend it. "
