Information or Exploitation
1 February 2019
Tacky 'documentary', that is looking to entertain first, and inform second. Basically every talking head that is interviewed repeatedly tells the audience how handsome and charismatic Bundy was. Thanks, we get it. Ultimately, listening to Bundy on these tapes is a waste of time because he was nothing more than a lying sociopath, and these tapes are just another chance for him to try and manipulate naive people, in this case, the audience.

The rest of the story is handled like a bad courtroom drama on cable TV. The inappropriate use of overdramatic music, combined with quick cut editing, takes away from the reality of the case, and instead sensationalizes these horrible murders.

I feel bad for the victims and their families as Bundy gets more unwarranted attention and the murders are basically exploited for entertainment purposes. If you have any sense of empathy for the victims, you will not enjoy this series.
