Matt Murphy, former Sr. Deputy District Attorney of Orange County, Calif., said on a 2021 episode of "20/20" that looking back, "it is chilling to realize that this iconic show celebrating love and romance would unknowingly feature a remorseless killer."
The film chronicles how Cheryl Bradshaw, an aspiring actress, comes into contact with Alcala during "The Dating Game," a twist emphasizing the chilling mix of innocence and horror inherent in the true story.
Alcala was born in Texas in 1943 and died in 2021. He was a convicted serial killer and sex offender who killed at least eight people between 1971 and 1979 across New York, California.
