Jared from Subway: Catching a Monster

This is gross and upsetting and disgusting, I wish there were more we could do so people like Jared never sees the light of day ever again, but this was all about Rochelle Herman, when she's making these tapes with Jared saying absolutely disgusting things she's like very complicit with him like they were a couple plotting out who to stalk next, I felt her to be going along with this over YEARS! And what exactly did the wife of Russell do to get MORE jail time then Jared? Absolutely disgusting and I pray for the survivors. And why didn't the FBI help more when she went to the local police? And where was her ex husband? Just so many open ended questions.

This could have been a powerful 80 minute documentary about Jared Fogle, his life, crimes, capture, and the why of how all this happened. Instead we got nearly an hour of Rochelle Herman, who did a great job helping to catch him, but ultimately her story isn't very interesting. If that entire section was eliminated, this could be much better.

There's also an odd trope where they constantly offer warnings of potentially disturbing language, which every viewer is well aware of at all times. The warnings actually feel like they are trying to sensationalize the horrific nature of the statements Fogle makes.

If it were possible, they should have done everything in their power to avoid having Rochelle involved in this. The story is absolutely compelling enough on its own & although she played a 'key' role in the story she made the documentary almost unwatchable.

This is also yet another documentary that has fallen into the formula of multiple unnecessary episodes when the story could be properly covered in one really well done episode. It's become tiresome that most multiple episode docs are at least 50% fluff and the message loses all of its potency. There's only been a handful that have done a multiple episode layout successfully in my opinion.

I watched this movie to learn something about this 'Jared' guy and what his crimes were. Yes, I could have went to the search and found out the depth of what he did, just like I could go to the internet and find out the who's and why's of Jeff Dahmer, Ted Kaczynski, the Catholic Church, etc...to find the gory details. In this case, I was ok getting a story. No, it wasn't the typical 'documentary' style detailing the official police case, with many of the people involved at that time giving 'testimony' on camera, re-telling the case. Here, it is told by one person, a central figure in identifying this guy (and friend), with support from others who have first hand accounts of who these folks were and the case against them. Sure, as with any 'history', it's narrator sounds sanctimonious, but I can see past that to find out much of what I need to know...and YIKES! I didn't know, until now.

I hesitate to call this a documentary. It appears completely written and produced by Rochelle Herman, even with "cliffhanger" comments before each pause for commercial break. This could have been a 45-minute show.

I'm guessing here, but screentime per "character" Rochelle Herman: 90 percent Jared Fogle: 4 percent All FBI agents:2 percent Ozzie: 2 percent Others: 2 percent.

I appreciate the lengths Herman went to in order to catch Fogle. It appears, however, that it was done to the detriment of her life and family for a career bump that never happened.

Rework it into a 45-minute documentary and make it available to 60 Minutes.
