Ted Bundy: Autoportrait d'un tueur

All the facts are laid out chronologically. This documentary draws you in. I watched all four episodes in one sitting. More than once I felt goosebumps at the depravity of a man who seemed so normal, yet was downright evil. I have seen many Netflix docs. This one is well worth a watch.

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.

There are so many myths surrounding Ted Bundy, but this documentary stuck to the facts and made a compelling case. I'm embarressed to admit I even found Ted charming but he is sick, twisted, and dark; a real life Lucifer. What a metaphor for pure evil in the appearance of charm, even handsomeness. VERY interesting watch.

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.
