      • Feb 06, 2023
        Perhaps the best true crime docuseries ever.
      • May 23, 2022
        LOL, the funniest real people acting like maniacs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      • Jan 12, 2022
        Great Docuseries! Must see for any fan of True Crime Shows! The only thing that holds this back from perfect is the last episode...It just ends and the entire episode is kind of manufactured build up, to what is ultimately his confession, as he is having a Bowel Movement! lol
      • Nov 08, 2021
        One of the worst, most overrated shows ever made. Unbelievable from first minute until final second. Just awful. The women are written like assholes, the cop brother in law is a fucking moron, and not a single thing is believable about the plot. Junk show for junkies

        The best crime documentary ever made, I watched it 5 times until now

        Robert Durst would have been a good choice as the Dos Equis "most interesting man in the world" if it wasn't for the fact that he is a cold-blooded killer. ... Or maybe that's what makes him "most interesting."

        I deducted a star bc the lawyer in episode 4 had a whistle when he talked and I had to watch it on mute with subtitles. I feel so sorry for jury's that have to listen to him, just so irritating. Other than that this series was incredible.
      • Jun 07, 2020
        A documentary series of intervention, which definitely finds its place in the documentary history, no matter whether the filmmakers was on purpose or not. A walking-free "murderer", who came to you and asked for an interview, was finally caught again because of his murmurings in the washroom. And the trial has "inevitably" been suspended because of the pandemic...
      • Feb 23, 2020
        Mind blowing, the final episode is beyond my immediate comprehension, not because I could not understand it, but because of how it unvails, so dramtically, the truth, after 30 plus years. How a life, played out so publicly, in front of everyones eyes, goes from elusive, full of questions, to epoxsed in one single dramtic moment. Even the director, film crew & interviewer, who warm to the lead, and me as a viewer, can see some truth, but yet we are all left with niggling questions, until that one single deffining moment at the end, when the lead also becomes aware, and when you just know the truth, immediately, so abruptly and leaving the viewer totally aware of how a physcopath functions, ever so deeply. Without a doubt one of the single most dramtic real live exposuer events I have ever witnessed.. this is beyond a scale of 5...
