Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer

I don't know why anyone would give this series a low rating. It's remarkable, the intelligence, insights, and self-examination that the victims reveal, especiall the woman and her daughter who were his "family" partners. The daughter is the winner.

I have watched a lot of documentaries about Ted Bundy, What made this so different is that it focused on Ted's victims including Elizabeth and Molly Kendall, Ted's long term girlfriend and her daughter. I appreciated the filmmakers setting the story within its historical context. I especially appreciated hearing from Elizabeth & Molly Kendall. I have often wondered what they were thinking and feeling and I have so much compassion and appreciation for what they went through as well as the families and friends of of the young women Bundy murdered. All were victims of him and as a woman I think we are well served to know how men like Ted use our kindness and willingness to help against us as they prey upon us. I was left thinking a lot about that time as I was only a year or two younger than his most of his Washington State victims and how culture shaped our attitudes, behavior p, fears and expectations. My father was a sociopath and I understand all too well what havoc they wrought on those who come into contact with them. Thank you to the Kendalls and all those who shared their stories. I wish them peace and happiness. I think it would be great if someone would make a documentary on misogyny. It is so prevalent in our culture and it is not well understood.

Some harp on feminist messaging. I didn't see that at all. How could you not get women's perspective when 100% of this serial perp's victims were female? Bundy personified evil. Beyond sick, the devil if there is one. I've been around sick, evil before so I'm kind of fascinated by it's aspects and impacts. I highly recommend this. Very well done.

I've watched countless serial killer documentaries, and read countless books, and *this* is how it should be done. Bundy is the story, but he is not the narrative. Rather, he is the common thread that unites the testimonies of victims, survivors, and their families, and it is they who are at the forefront, telling us their experiences in their own words. It's heartbreaking, and compelling, and absolutely top-notch film-making.

An absolutely extraordinary true crime doc that finally pays tribute to the the victims of a killer instead of trying to humanize the monster within. Maybe about 20 minutes of the full five episodes focuses on the feminist movement and honestly it's an important part to the narrative of the victims. Don't let the nay-sayers sway you away - this is the best Bundy doc I've watched and one of the best true crime docs overall.
