Killing Spree packs a real punch questioning the world’s deadliest rampage killers.”
The series has already aired in the UK on Channel 5.
Update: Killing Spree premiered last night at 10pm and attracted 256,000 viewers.

Fun entertainment for the whole family…
Good, I like these kinds of shows. Ten and One have ’48 hours’ which is often very good if you’re into true crime stories/investigations.
Most of Foxtel’s factual (BIO, CI, History) are carried by Sky in NZ.
How do Foxtel plan to screen this in New Zealand, where they don’t have any presence there? Or will it air on Sky TV in NZ? (which is a News Corp owned pay tv network)
