Becoming Evil: Serial Killers (2019)
no wonder it's so hard to catch these guys if these are "top experts"
I didn't make it very far unfortunately. The intro summed it up for me when the "experts" concluded that women are oddly drawn to these stories because they want to protect their families from the big bad wolf like a scared little mommy bunny or something. Looking at the all white, old male staff, it's clear why it's so shallow. There will be no new or significant insights in this series, unfortunately. Maybe the focus should be around a white-male dominated society that continues to throw women and girls away at profound rates, only caring when someone "important" finally goes missing and they can no longer sit at their desks and shrug their shoulders at these "witty" criminals. The only thing provocative about this show is how many male criminologist think Ted Bundy is handsome. That always surprises me but isn't enough to hold my attention. Another painful example of hubris exposing ignorance, the never ending drive men have to crow their genius to the point that they are blind to their own faults.
The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)
sooo disappointed
Every scene is "I hate you, I'll kill you, let's fight. Now I respect you and we shall become blood brothers and fight together to the death". There's no depth to any of the characters, and so, so many stupid details that are just complete eye rollers. Add to that an unfortunate gratuitous overuse of "cock" and "cunt" and you can write the episodes yourself before they happen on the screen. If you love the Witcher, then this is not for you. I can't get that hour back waiting for the episode to get better, but I can warn you against losing an hour of your life. I'm no longer anxious for The Witcher part three, which I have been waiting so long for. I definitely understand why Cavill left, I believe I will be right behind him on his way out!
Killer Kids (2011)
no wonder it keeps happening
Wow, it's hard to watch. First episode shows adoptive parents that turn two helpless children into straight up sociopaths and then blame the kids. One commenter says that being constantly beat must not be too awful because at least they had a pool, and another downplays their monstrous upbringing to the point that he says the murders were about homework and girlfriends. I don't think I've ever watched a show that so clearly demonstrates how entirely horrific authorities continue to respond to cases like this. It's disgusting to see in 2022. It would have been nice to get some less draconian commentators.
