I'll Be Gone In The Dark How Many Episodes

Okay, mystery buffs, true crime aficionados, and folks who just love a good binge-watch! Let's talk about that show. You know, the one that had everyone glued to their screens and locking their doors a little extra tight?

So, How Many Episodes of I'll Be Gone in the Dark Are We Talking?

The burning question! The one that keeps you up at night (besides, you know, the actual Golden State Killer case). Are you ready for the answer? Drumroll, please!

There are a grand total of... six episodes of the main series of I'll Be Gone in the Dark! Yes, only six! Think of it as the perfect length to become completely obsessed without completely neglecting your real-life responsibilities. Maybe.

But wait! There's more! Just like that bonus dessert you didn't expect but were totally thrilled about, HBO gave us an extra dose of darkness.

Hold On... There's a Bonus Episode?!

You bet your true-crime-loving heart there is! A special bonus episode, bringing the grand total to... SEVEN! Think of it as the ultimate "Where are they now?" of true crime documentaries. We get some updates, some extra insight, and a whole lotta feels.

Seriously, it's like finding an extra fry at the bottom of your McDonald's bag. A delightful (albeit slightly unsettling) surprise! So, seven episodes in total. Get ready to settle in!

Why Only Seven Episodes?

Well, that's partly because the show is based on the late Michelle McNamara's incredible book of the same name. She tragically passed away before finishing the book, and the show (and the completed book itself) honors her work and her relentless pursuit of justice.

The series isn't just about the crimes themselves; it's about Michelle, her passion, and the impact this case had on her life and the lives of everyone involved. It's powerful stuff!

So, seven episodes is what we got, and honestly, it's the perfect amount. It's enough to get completely invested, but not so much that you're still thinking about it years later... (Okay, maybe a little.)

So, What Are You Waiting For?

If you haven't seen I'll Be Gone in the Dark, carve out some time, grab some popcorn (and maybe a blanket for hiding under), and get ready for a wild ride. But maybe don't watch it right before bed, unless you really enjoy checking all the locks three times before drifting off.

And if you have seen it? Well, maybe it's time for a re-watch! After all, seven episodes is a small price to pay to revisit such a compelling and important piece of true-crime storytelling. Go on, you deserve it!

Just remember, keep the lights on and maybe have a friend on speed dial. You know, just in case. Happy viewing!
