(CNN) A new Showtime documentary series proved uncomfortably timely this week, with the pay channel pulling a repeat of "Active Shooter: America Under Fire" on Monday night, after the mass shooting event in Las Vegas. The eight-episode series, which premiered to little fanfare on September 29, focuses on a different mass shooting in each installment, interviewing survivors, law enforcement and relatives of victims. The program premiered with an hour on the 2012 theater killings in Aurora, Colorado. Subsequent episodes will be devoted to San Bernardino, Charleston, the Washington D.C. Navy Yard, Santa Monica, Oak Creek, Orlando and Columbine. The premiere includes a discussion of the No Notoriety movement, which asks the media to limit coverage of shooters to deprive them the attention they seek.
