Sam Wollaston Guardian 08/22/2019
It's not as if Gilyard is notorious in this country, or that an interview with him quenches any kind of public thirst. So what does that leave? Gawping, that's what. Gawping at a serial killer. And an opportunity for Morgan to show what a tough guy he is. Go to Full Review

1/5
That fact that the serial killer doing the confessing was Bernard Giles - who was either unable or unwilling to explain his crimes - only compounded this programme's problem. Go to Full Review
Amy Zimmerman The Daily Beast 08/29/2019
Like the world's cheesiest wannabe detective, [Piers] Morgan combines a talent for cliché with zero interrogation skills, resulting in a series of serial killer interviews that are at once sappy and shockingly ineffective. Go to Full Review
Peter Crawley Irish Times 08/22/2019
In Serial Killer With Piers Morgan... we get to witness an unrestrained narcissist with a shallow charm and a vastly over-inflated sense of self-importance address his mirror image. Go to Full Review

Sharon S @RT25015419 05/18/2025 Awful, it’s all about Piers Morgan. An interview consists of A conversation between 2 people not Piers Morgan acting like judge jury and executioner all over again. These people are already in jail! Appalling interviews by Piers constantly interrupting, calling them liars, then proudly thinking he’s done a great job, when the viewer is none the wiser about why the interview took place at all?! Parky he is NOT. Investigative journalism also NOT. He needs to watch a few old Parkinson interviews, now there was a man who knew how to interview people. Watch his rubbish if you dare, you’ll just end up wondering why the hell you wasted your time. Terrible See more D W @RT34520430 05/18/2023 Terrible interviewer, somehow incapable of drawing any insight while grandstanding and blundering the entire time. See more 07/29/2021 Urainia: (eats apple) Would you like a bite? Apasmara: (under Urainia's feet, struggles) No, Goddess. Urainia: Then I suggest you stop picking on American athletes who have been sexually molested and have been under severe pressure since they were children being abused by adults. Back off, or I will break your back. Apasmara: Please, No! Urainia: Go discuss your silly cricket you old hack, and stay away from our girls. If I hear one more gross peep out of you on these matters, you will feel my beating. You may be hanging on in print, but I already got you off the Morning (pause/throws half eaten apple down at Apasmara's head) "News". Apasmara: You can't do a thing to me. (Bangs down cobra scepter) Look at this thing! Urainia: (steps off Apasmara and squashes apple underfoot) This is your brain on the News. It's a very easy apple for me to get rid of (deer strolls by and stops to eat crushed apple) And my animals will clean up what's left. I suggest you find your morality and ethics before my animals clean you up. Apasmara: Then why keep me here at all? Urainia: We need pissants just like we need all the other bugs, I'm afraid. Keeps the creation circulating... See more 03/01/2020 This show only served to inflate Morgan's ego whilst he revelled in his own fantasy of being a tough guy. See more 02/07/2020 PIERS MORGAN SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR CONFIRMATION BIAS AND THINKING VIEWERS ARE SO EASILY SWAYED!! DARREN TILL PLEASE KPMTFO! Piers Morgan sucked so bad he show go back to doing the weather or retired from television. The show is about presenting the facts of the case, interviewing the victims, investigators and the accused and allowing the viewer to form an opinion. In all 3 episodes he did not allow the accused to respond to his provocative questioning and did not do justice for the victims or allow an alternative viewpoint to be presented. The only episode where one thought the accused was guilty was where DNA evidence was present and not du to Piers. In the 3 episode, he did not even allow the accused to present his case. Please remove this ill dickwad from this program as similar to other instances where he has poked his nose and come up short, he is ill informed and had confirmation bias written all over it. See more 02/07/2020 Was looking forward to watching this series but unfortunately they couldn't have picked a worse person to conduct the interview, Morgan has zero interviewing skills, Very frustrating to watch. Overall Very poorly put together. Turned it off halfway through. See more Read all reviews
