What happens

Beyond the Darklands is a New Zealand true crime television series that aired on TVNZ's TV One. It is narrated and presented by clinical psychologist Nigel Latta, with each episode focusing on a certain criminal (usually a murderer or team of murderers). The show ran for five seasons. Inspiration for the series came from Latta's 2003 book Into the Darklands: Unveiling the Predators Among Us, which dealt with Latta's work as a forensic psychologist. An Australian series of the same name, based on the New Zealand show, was produced in 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
