Lifetime?
Seems like a strange fit
Actually, if you take a look at the movies shown on the LMN channel, half of them are about psycho-killers that imperil some women either investigating them or from their past... TWK is a little more hard-edged than the typical ones they produce themselves, but thematically it fits right in. I'd find it hilarious if TWK actually got better ratings once it starts airing!
I respect people with no respect for being respectable.
Now... LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK is a more stranger fit, but perfectly in tune with Nancy Dubucs (A&E CEO, responsible for turning HISTORY into the steaming pile of cesspool waste it is) taking a channel off brand programming.
She has no sense, that when people tune to a channel called LIFETIMEMOVIE NETWORK.. they expect to see MOVIES... she has already eroded the channel on Saturdays with Paranormal programming.
I do watch the channel occasionally, but only when there are MOVIES being aired... if she does move THK to LMN, then THK has lost another viewer. I really doubt if putting THK on LMN will improve the rating... most if not all of the shows on LIFETIME/LMN ever get into even the Nielsen Top 100 Daily.

man do many channels useful to be so great.. Why do they do this?? PLUS they always put the best stuff of the channels that you have to have digital cable to view, making it so there are so many fewer viewers.. ew that sounded weird. Sorry. 😋

I agree completely about the channel switching. I knew nothing about this series until it appeared on A&E and then disappeared after 2 episodes. I was trying to figure out why the first 2 episodes of season 2 of Bates Motel was 90 minutes long and discovered THK was attached to it since it followed right after. I got hooked instantly! Then it vanished! I found it by accident when I went to watch an episode of "Killer Kids" which for some weird reason is on LMN instead of Lifetime. That's where I realized it jumped stations. I am so fortunate I was able to see all 10 episodes. But...What the hell?! LMN should ONLY air Lifetime movies! This show belongs back on a network like A&E or FX. The ratings on this show would probably be much higher if it weren't so difficult to find. Those Who Kill may not have the best title for a show, however, I find it realistic, incredibly well cast, amazingly directed, superbly acted; as well as dark, haunting & disturbing. A quality show about serial killers is supposed to be all that and uncomfortable to watch because it really happens. Fingers crossed there is a season 2 and it won't be be as challenging to find.
LMN should be for Lifetime Movies
Lifetime should be for shows like Devious Maids
And A&E should be for Arts & Entertainment of a higher caliber like Sundance, AMC or FX.

Sure, I'm scraping by trying to get a contract for a TV show, and me replacing Jensen would be perfect for me. I hope they discover I know a lot about this and that I have appropriate looks.
You're right, this is rare, to find a way to make people be so realistic. I've been in drama and seemed to fit in fine. You know, I even have a sense for what PA is like.
I'm just so amazed at how well this performance was put together. It was strong, Sevigny was used to good degree and is like a superstar now. Her performance in this is to die for.
I mean it was just such a real TV show, not just something put together, not just some thriller feel to carry you along.
