El asesino y el salvador

I turned it off after the 76th hard cut and action movie trailer beat. It's absolutely unwatchable. I got a little over two minutes in. If you can watch more, you're better than me. I admit it. I'm a fan of true-crime stuff, absolutely. I don't have a tiktok attention span. But this made me feel like I was high on xtc at a german rave and talking about serial killers.

It'sjust absurdly badly made. I honestly doubt it 'll get better or you'll find a lot of substance in this documentary. The intro alone was enough to point that out. Something positive? Sure. The poster design is pretty awesome. Cool use of colors. But that's really all I've got. Maybe I'm too critical ... but maybe we should expect more? Now that I'm writing this, I wonder how the families feel about being in a transformer-style documentary.

Michael Bay's new serial killer show falls short in nearly every aspect. Despite high production values and flashy visuals, it struggles with a lackluster plot and one-dimensional characters. The story's pacing is uneven, with too many cliché twists that fail to generate genuine suspense. The dialogue is often clunky and expository, undermining any attempt at depth or realism. While Bay's signature style might appeal to his typical substance-less fans of high-octane action, it feels out of place in the more nuanced world of psychological thrillers. Overall, the show is a disappointing blend of style over substance, leaving much to be desired for those expecting a gripping and thoughtful crime drama.

Everyone in my true crime groups are raving about the series as well. Many of us binged the whole 5 episodes already.

The interrogation interviews were interesting. The characters were captivating when telling their stories. Many of them are from the East Coast so they had that blunt and humorous aspect to them.

For a documentary about such a depraved and sick cat, the detectives and the savior were hilarious at times. I don't think I've ever laughed watching true crime, but the characters were so real and candid.

I also appreciate that this case hasn't been overly covered like most are. You have to wonder if producers, directors and networks are just lazy are trying to save a buck. Even though I had seen one show on this case, the content in this series was original. The evidence presented was interesting as well.

If you are looking for a documentary with respect for the victims, that's not it. Don't know how much Michael Bay was actually involved in this but this is not a movie about alien robots, its a doc about real victims and it was not treated like one. Montage and music on steroids, lame reenactments. As if the presentation of the crimes of a serial killer aren't engaging enough, the pacing of this series ( I can't call it a documentary again with peace of mind) is clearly made for people who can't focus on the screen for more than 5 seconds unless its got explosions and stuff. Shame on everyone involved, exploitation of murdered children is an all time low.

Forensic Files covered Hadden Clark's case in under 30 minutes and still managed to share more info than this whole documentary season. The story is interesting but it could've been told in a single episode or short film. The documentary jumps between victims without clear structure and doesn't explain the evidence or forensics behind the convictions. It focuses too much on the killer's psychology and not enough on the crimes themselves. There are no interviews with Navy personnel to back up Clark's claims of killing while enlisted-even though one episode mentions him throwing someone off a ship. That should've been easy to verify. It also lacks the investigative depth of a show like The Jinx.
