Fred y Rose West: Una historia de terror británica

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is a chilling three-part docuseries exploring the horrifying crimes of one of Britain's most infamous serial killer couples. With real police recordings, survivor accounts, and investigative insights, it uncovers the depths of depravity behind the seemingly ordinary façade of Fred and Rose West.

It's both fascinating and deeply disturbing - a stark reminder of how sick some human beings can be. The series is exceptionally well put together, respectful to the victims, and terrifying in its realism. Scary to think that such things not only happened, but remained hidden for so long.

A must-watch for true crime fans who want more than just shock value.

The documentary feels rushed and that it needed another three episodes at least.

Key events such as Fred's brain injury, Rose's relationship with her father, more background on Rena and Ann McFall, the possibility that other victims such as Mary Bastholm may exist are all missed. Whilst some victims are given some coverage and family interviews conducted, an episode giving background on each victim would have emphasised the person behind the victim.

The new footage is interesting but seems to be the whole purpose behind the documentary rather than an attempt to add further context to the events being described.

Ironically Howard Sounes' (contributor and producer) own podcast contained much more information on this subject than contained in this documentary.

Frankly there have been channel 5 documentaries that are more detailed and informative.

Harrowing documentary, however, chunks of key details and Info left out/missing. If you've never watched a documentary regarding the story before then you'll probably find it really good, whereas for myself I've watched a few docs over the years about it which were a bit more in depth and included extra details etc.

All in all a very decent documentary regarding the shocking story but lacking key details, evidence and info. Three relatively short episodes which you can binge in one night so it's definitely worth a viewing especially if you've never seen a documentary regarding it before. 7/10.

I've been eagerly waiting for a solid documentary about Fred and Rose West, especially since their story is one of the darkest and most complex in British true crime history. Having nearly read all the major books on the case, I came into this series with high expectations for a detailed and thorough exploration. Unfortunately, while it does cover the basics, it doesn't dig nearly deep enough into the twisted dynamics, the psychological aspects, or the wider context of their crimes.

There's so much more to this horrible story that's been overlooked or only lightly touched upon here. I agree with the other reviewers, that this series feels like a surface-level retelling rather than an in-depth investigation. It misses the chance to fully unpack the chilling details and the impact on the victims and their families.

For those new to the case, it might serve as an introduction, but for anyone who's already familiar with the extensive research available, it's a bit disappointing. I was hoping for a more gripping and comprehensive documentary that truly does justice to such a grim chapter in British crime history.

Was really looking forward to this. No details about anything really no background to the relationship or their lives before they met each other, nothing about why they did it what they did. Nothing about the children they had or interviews with them. You could watch the first episode and be done as the next two just repeat and draw out what's already been said. Truly disappointed.

Hopefully someone will do it justice they way they did with Ted Bundy and Jeffry Dharma.

Would have loved to understand more than just this is where I buried them and I am protecting Rose! Which is basically all it was.
