Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

Wow. Watched this documentary gripped and dumbfounded as it all unfolded. Ended up constantly pausing to discuss and debate all the different aspects and conclusions. Just an extremely sad, interesting and bizarre case, one that leaves you unable to put it out of your mind for a long time. I found the documentary on a level to Making a Murderer and The Ted Bundy Tapes, Netflix knows how to get you hooked.

Being from Europe and not interested in American Football, I never heard anything about Hernandez. So I somehow stumbled over this Mini- Series on Netflix without reading or knowing anything about it.

This documentary is heart wrenching and once again shows pretty good the complex process of one ( above average gifted young) man's life gone totally wrong.

We learn, it may be the sum of many different events and experiences that can lead to devastating, bad decision making, and how important it is to have a safe social environment with truly caring and open minded people.

I enjoyed it. I almost skipped over it as I generally don't watch things like this. But I like football, I lived in Bristol while Aaron played football at Bristol Central, and I like the Patriots. It showed him growing up, his family strife, then college and getting drafted with the Pats.....and the 3 murders (almost 4) he was involved with. Three one hour episodes that I watched in the same evening. It pulled me in. I recomend this documentary.

This doco series is a stand out. Brilliantly delivered and produced. It hit a nerve with me however, and I can't help but feel deeply emotional and upset. Same way I felt after watching the Paradise Lost trilogy.......the US judicial system is defective and sometimes, downright idiotic. This poor kid took the wrong turn in life but I can't help but feel empathetic towards him. A tragic story but an excellent documentary.

I appreciate IMDB and have utilized its app to replace the volumes of movie encyclopedias that were a primary resource until, at least, the 90's. Not knowing anything about this case I wanted to watch it cold . I took a quick look at the reviews ( you know to see if it's mid rated consistent 6's verses 10's and 2'a and the headers are filled with spoilers. If your reading this your probably not an offender and if you are please understand that no spoilers means not giving away information that is isn't stated in the first 3 minutes is the film or show.
