Ted Bundy: Autoportrait d'un tueur

The Bundy tapes are very well put together series with everything you need to know about the era, the crimes and the guy himself in it. No need to cram yourself with the facts beforehand. Nice dense vibe, good craftmanship, all in all very well done.

Slick production value. I learned some things I didn't know, but I would have liked more actual audio of the interviews. He had 100 hours of tape but you hear only the tiniest fraction of it in the documentary.

Also, if you watch on Neflix, there's a podcast available of an interview with the author where the interviewer goes off the deep end with some new-age-"woke"-social-justice nonsensical buzzwords. Yes, Ted Bundy benefited by being white, but that's only the beginning. He was white AND clean-cut, intelligent, college educated, careful about how he came across, etc. If Bundy was some grungy long-haired tatooed guy, white or not, he would not have evaded punishment for so long. But if you like hearing words like "identity" , "intersectional", and "whiteness" bandied about as though they have any practical application to the real world, by all means give it a listen.

Watching this docu-series, I hadn't done any research on Ted Bundy at all. So I essentially went in blind. I watched all 4 episodes back to back in one sitting because I couldn't believe what I was watching. For only happening a few decades ago, it blows my mind how far we have come in the way we detain and process criminals for trial. This man, was disgusting and psychotic, but also very strategic and smart. Knowing some human beings are capable of things like this, gives me nightmares. After finishing the show, I turned on Resident Evil 2 and STILL went to bed more scared knowing Ted Bundy was an ACTUAL, REAL person.

First of all, you can totally watch this alone, but...prewarning...you won't be able to stop. It's 3 AM, and I was not going to sleep until I had finished it. I honestly never really knew much about Ted Bundy. I just knew of him and that he was an infamous serial killer. I had no idea how extensive his killings were, and I'm honestly dumbfounded. I don't know how he got away with it for as long as he did. It makes me wonder how long he would have made it today. He is...by far...the worst, but it makes me wonder how many people out there are just like him. This documentary was one of the best I've seen. I would definitely put it up there with Making a Murderer. I'm really going to need Netflix to make this a series and add some more seasons on the rest of these guys, i.e. Manson and Dahmer. Please and Thank You!

This was a pretty solid documentary. Nice and stylized production. I think it's very noteworthy that they were able to get the investigators, detectives, attorneys, agents, etc. that they did for the documentary. It's also cool how they put together all the press from across the states and counties about Bundy. On this note it was quite thorough. However, the documentary never hits got into the details of Bundy's murders; it felt like there was some sort of lack of depth in that aspect. It's not that I wanted to relish in the details of the ways he carried what he did and on his life. But for all the times it was repeated what a downright monster he was, the documentary didn't really give the true reasons why. (Perhaps our of respect for the victims? I don't know). Heck, even the Wikipedia page has an immense amount of detail on his life.
