farah r @Farah 10/08/2021 I was so excited to watch this docuseries but unfortunately it was boring and bloated. See more 10/06/2021 What a missed opportunity by the filmmakers. They had incredible access to archival assets and to the people who could best tell the story. Rather than rely on that access, they bought an Envato Elements glitch pack and posed subjects in settings that only served to make for a cringeworthy viewing experience. Truly awful direction and editing. Again, a missed opportunity to share a compelling story. See more Michael W @mawilps 10/05/2021 This Netflix crime docuseries was ok. The entire crew did a decent job in making this docuseries. This true story about the life of criminal Billy Milligan was intense, bizarre, and insane. Billy, who was believed to have multiple personality disorder, was just acting his way out of prison and doing whatever he wanted in the process. If you decide to watch this sometime, you probably won't enjoy it or even know what's really going on in the series. That's my opinion. See more anita k 09/28/2021 Way too long which creates absolutely no suspense whatsoever, I couldn't care less about him and I skipped some of it for being repetitive. See more 09/26/2021 The story was interesting enough but the series is WAY too long. Repetitive interviews and opinions, dragging what would have been a riveting 1.5ish hour movie into a 4 part series. I found myself tuning out a lot. See more 09/26/2021 The subject matter is fascinating, but sadly the series seemed more about the film director showing off their skills, rather than a genuine in-depth exploration of the topic. The interview set ups were very fussy and distracting. (One takes place inside what appears to be a bank vault - why?) The film also gives lip service to sympathy for the victims of Milligan's violence (at least four rapes and two murders), but we never hear about the impact the crimes had on them or the loved ones they left behind. Instead, centre stage is Milligan's Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and the razzmatazz it attracted from an array of psychiatrists, authors and also Hollywood. It was disappointing that the statements from the interviewees are never challenged, including the bizarre assertion by the author, Daniel Keyes that one of Milligan's alternate personalities could "speak fluent Serbo-Croatian". The series has pointed the way for further investigation, but I couldn't help feeling a simpler presentation and a more balanced weighing up of the facts would have been more satisfying.
