There’s always a tricky question of semantics when it comes to stories about criminals who deal in deception. The lines between the points where one persona ends and another begins make it difficult to focus on who the “real” figure at the center is.
That’s true for “The Serpent,” the eight-part limited series about the life and crimes of Charles Sobhraj, but only to an extent. Though Tahar Rahim plays all forms of the man who led an international crime ring, he exists for most of the series as “Alain Gautier.” What begins as an alias — the origins of which the audience sees in fits and starts as the series progresses — comes to encompass all of what allowed him to grow his intercontinental passport- and jewel-laundering scam, ensnaring a growing net of murder victims and accomplices and enemies along the way. In the process, the show surrounding him...

Netflix's The Serpent portrays Ajay Chowdhury (Amesh Edireweera) as serial killer Charles Sobhraj's right-hand man who would help him get rid of bodies and threaten victims (or worse). If anything, the series suggests that the young Indian man was even more entrenched in Sobhraj's dark activities than Sobhraj's girlfriend Marie-Andrée Leclerc. By the end of the sixth episode, however, Chowdhury disappears altogether. So what happened to Chowdhury in real life? The truth is, we don't really know. However, there have been several speculations about his fate.
In episode six of The Serpent, Sobhraj and Chowdhury go for a drive in Karachi, Pakistan. At first, it seems as though Sobhraj is leaving Leclerc and taking Chowdhury to Paris, but he then stops in the middle of nowhere. After throwing money at his former accomplice, he tells Chowdhury, "It's time for you to make your own way in the world.

The case of Charles Sobhraj seems perfect for the age of the true-crime dramatization. Sobhraj, currently incarcerated in Nepal, was a serial murderer in the 1970s, preying especially upon Western travelers on the so-called Hippie Trail in Asia. His notoriety intersects with the anxieties of his era, and his deeds demonstrate an almost boundless capacity for cruelty and compartmentalization: Both of these facts would seem to serve a genre that seeks within stories from the past ways of understanding our times and ourselves.
“The Serpent,” a limited series appearing on Netflix after running on BBC One earlier this year, unfortunately never gets there. Through the writing of Richard Warlow and Toby Finlay, we are given an intriguing — if at times somewhat generic-feeling — look into the world of seekers and believers trying to find themselves between Kathmandu and Bangkok, and we see that world preyed on by an archvillain whose skillfulness...
