Reelz February 2024 Highlights; Killer Performance, 101 Near Misses

REELZ is set to wow audiences in February 2024 with a lineup of exciting premieres. One of the standout offerings is the new original documentary series, “Killer Performance.” This chilling show delves into cases where murderers used public appearances and police interviews as platforms for their sinister charades. Through press conferences, interviews, and court appearances, killers such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Chris Watts, Chacey Poynter, Drew Peterson, and Stephen McDaniel expertly manipulated the media and deceived law enforcement with their fake grief and elaborate lies.

The psychological makeup of these murderers sheds light on their need for control and their egotistical belief that they were one step ahead of everyone else. They relished in the feeling that they were getting away with murder while using public investigations as an opportunity to perform their evil acts. “Killer Performance” provides an intimate look at how these manipulative individuals attempted to convince the public of their innocence through deceptive tactics.

Premiering on Friday and Saturday nights throughout February 2024 at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT are new episodes from the hit original documentary series “On Patrol: Live.” The show follows live news-gathering protocols to offer viewers real-time access to everyday police work captured by cameras on patrol. Hosted by Dan Abrams alongside Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson, each episode provides minute-by-minute analysis while offering unique insights into law enforcement’s experiences. The show also features segments dedicated to tracking down wanted criminals and finding missing persons in collaboration with organizations like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Black and Missing Foundation (BAMFI). Viewers are encouraged to provide information related to missing persons through hotlines provided by NCMEC’s #MissingKids program or BAMFI should they have any pertinent details about those who have disappeared.

Preceding every new episode of “On Patrol: Live” is a new episode of “On Patrol: First Shift,” airing at 8:00pm ET/5:00pm PT. This segment provides updates on past stories covered by the show, while also previewing what viewers can expect in the live episodes.
