Les signes du mal

Most Murder Shows (what I call true crime shows) are superficially shallow in terms of the people involved, victims and perpetrators. This show gets a little deeper into the mind, psychology, behaviors, and motivations of psychopaths. I feel that after watching most if not all of the episodes, I could spot a psychopath a mile away. And yes, I've come across a few. Ask me about the 8 year old psychopathic kid I came across, who almost caused my son to quit hockey. I felt bad for the parents, who actually seemed like pretty good people. They just had a kid who was evil to his core. Fun fact about psychopaths: they make good CEOs. No empathy, they just care about the company making money for the shareholders. No empathy, let's layoff another few hundred or few thousand employees ...

I thought I knew what psychopathy was, but this show really made me understand what they are-and what they are is terrifying. The editing and the way psychologists narrate everything help you take a chilling peek into what is actually going on in their heads. It shows how their thinking can be eerily rational, just without any trace of empathy. It made me realize how different their internal world really is. You start to notice patterns in how they talk, how they shift blame, and how emotionally flat they are. It is not loud or dramatic-it is quiet, controlled, and unsettling. The show does a great job of letting the facts and behavior speak for themselves.

This insightful, fascinating series gives you an insight into psychopathic behaviour. It makes for some uncomfortable viewing, especially when watching a psychopath explain his behavior like he's just been taking a stroll. It's exceptionally creepy, but definitely compulsive viewing. Experts talk you through what kind of behaviors psychopaths can display, which I find extremely helpful. At the start of the series you're asked 'would you see the signs'? The point is, psychopaths adapt and blend in, adjust their behavior to suit their needs - so that question is chilling. Each episode focuses on a different psychopath - be warned, some of the details are not for the faint of heart, as psychopaths have no empathy, relishing reliving their crimes to an extraordinary level.

No doubt, this is a great show if you are looking for getting some insights of psychopath. However, it makes me sick even though there is no brutal graphical description in the show. I'm sick of their callousness and the way they justified themselves.

I'm a big fan of crime shows, but, I really don't wanna see this show again at the same time. Big relief that I can't understand any of their behavior.

This show is nothing short of captivating - not because it glamorizes crime, but because it offers a raw, unfiltered look into the minds of individuals who defy the boundaries of normal human emotion. It doesn't just focus on "criminals" in the traditional sense, but instead zeroes in on true psychopaths - people whose actions and psychology challenge our understanding of morality, empathy, and motive.

What makes this series stand out is the expert commentary from seasoned psychologists and behavioral analysts. Their insights add a powerful layer of depth, helping the viewer grasp the subtle (and sometimes chilling) nuances behind these individuals' behaviors, expressions, and manipulative tactics. You're not just watching a documentary - you're being educated in the complex science of the human psyche.

The interrogation footage is by far the most gripping aspect of the show. Watching these people interact with law enforcement in real time - the lies, the deflections, the moments they slip up - is both unsettling and fascinating. It reveals how calculated and, at times, terrifyingly calm some of these individuals can be. The way they speak, the micro-expressions on their faces, even their body language - every second feels like a lesson in psychology and criminal behavior.

If you're someone who's intrigued by forensic psychology, criminal profiling, or just love a show that challenges your thinking and keeps you hooked from start to finish, this is an absolute must-watch. It's thought-provoking, intense, and disturbingly unforgettable.
