Whether dramatized or presented as journalism, it remains shocking to hear how the problem of Cullen kept getting passed from one institution to another.

Even for true crime obsessives, Tim Travers Hawkins' Capturing the Killer Nurse likely won’t hold much attention -- particularly when interested parties can watch Lindholm’s far superior dramatization of the same material, [The Good Nurse].

Loughren is a compelling character. So are the cops, and so, in his way, is the documentary’s “star,” who we hear on tape (from Graeber’s extensive interviews with him)...

Even as Cullen's actions come to light, Capturing the Killer Nurse fittingly spotlights on the moral depravity of the collective healthcare system that so surreptitiously held back his name only because of their economical interests.
