My Lover, My Killer

A very dry look at six cases of murder, where the victim was murdered by someone that supposedly loved them.

I found the crimes themselves very interesting, some really powerful interviews with family members and loved ones.....and some interviews by so called experts, some of them are interesting, one of them however is dismal, the most interesting episode, is the one about Peter Morgan, it is spoiled by an incredibly biased so called expert.

It's very dry, compare this to an American series, and it may seem a little reserved, perhaps less dynamically produced, definitely less by way of sensationalism, maybe not quite so entertaining.

I found some of the stories so sad, but intriguing to watch.

I would say that if more are planned, there needs to be greater impartiality by the experts.

Watchable, 7/10.

I found the people who were interviewed were either biased or prejudiced.

Now i only watched the first two episodes but this is the first show in at least two years that have me mad!

The first was told like the directer was a supporter of the taleban. No understanding that the woman was forced to mary. & he could have let her go with dignity for both of them, but he did not.

The seconded episode was just as bad, but it was just a western way of trying to own a woman!

I don't want to watch anymore because no person should hear people blame a woman for trying to get out of a relationship. If you sham her for religion or force her to stay because you have given money to her. You need to get your head checked because that is evil & it is more pathetic, sad & evil & may I mention again pathetic!

The cases themselves are fairly interesting, given a very detailed build-up to the eventual murder so you can really get a feel for the people involved and the narrator does a good job of tying everything together but there often lacks detail of how the actual event transpired (understandable as only the killer knows what happened in each case but it sort of glosses over it in some cases, just simply a they killed them and that's it).

There are other issues which lead me to give this a middle of the road rating. Firstly it can be quite repetitive, often repeating quotes or rehashing the story (presumably because it was made for advert breaks and there aren't any on netflix) and the portrayal of the killer/victim seems very biased and one sided. Always describing the victim as innocent and the killer as out of control or psychopathic which may be the case but no way as black and white as this documentary implies.

Maybe it's because most people watching don't understand stalking behaviour. Of course the series is biased towards the victims, they were brutally murdered! My goodness! They didn't deserve to be stabbed multiple times. Makes me wonder about some of these reviewers, seriously. I think the series does a good job of showing the helplessness and guilt of the families. Nobody wants something like this to happen to their loved one, all of the victims were very young (one killed at 20 years old). I also think it does show how these toxic relationships begin and the red flags to look for....but that could have been flushed out more. I wish they had an expert who really delved into the psychology of stalking and maybe what victims and families can do other than feel helpless. Clearly police need to be able to do more as well. I am just glad several of these families have set up charities and trying to help others, bringing something positive out of something so horrific.

It's all just photos over and over the same ones. Pictures of the area and then people sat, talking Only watched episode one.

Why not show their texts? Why not show the photos where they were on hol?

Makes interesting stories really boring it needs more of this rather then speculation and hearsay.
