I crimini di Jimmy Savile

I felt documentary was just so so. There was a lot talking about Jimmy savile,basically took all time of documentary and it was very little time dedicated to victims.

It felt very rushed at the end.

Started very slow and rushed at the end. I don't think it shown more, than was already known from newspapers and Internet articles.

Nothing special about this documentary.

This documentary is 240 mins and divided into 2 episodes. It is only the final act of this documentary they talk about the actual sexual exploits. The entire show is a build up to the last 25 mins which actually deals with what happens.

Its one of those doco's where a person will come on and say, "You would hear these things, but you wouldn't believe it.... but deep down. I knew!". This goes on for everyone who comes on the show. It's really laughable.

So, I would say, don't watch it. Watch a YouTube video which deals with this topic. I will also say, it is just a Netflix thing to stretch out shows and this was really stretched out. You might find your attention wandering.

This is a very uncomfortable viewing, and sensitivity is key. Many of us in the UK have been very aware of Saville (although I was never a fan or viewer of any of his shows), and the revelations that came out shocked the country in so many ways. This documentary in my opinion covers it all very well, and respectfully.

There are a number of talking heads, and as much as many claim their own failings in more speedily bringing to light the truth, there are still so many questions to ask.

It goes without saying what Saville was & will be seen as. It's a tragedy (to put it mildly) that he got away with it all in life.

This documentary is possibly the best I've seen on it. The Louis Theroux documentaries previously also covered it as best as possible. There's still a lot to know BUT more importantly learn from to ensure we are all knowledgeable about what happened to avoid anyone else pulling the wool over our eyes too.

To the victims, my full respect to you, and I wish you all the strength in the world.

An uncomfortable but neccesary watch but probably not for the reasons we might think. My take away was that this series wasn't at all about JS, but actually about us - the British public, the British institution. Yes we know he was a monster and we as a nation were arguably victims ourselves of his grooming - but we also were the ones who placed him on that pedestal, who made him untouchable by the cult of celebrity, who turned a blind eye even when he flaunted his perversions in our faces (look at allllll that bloody archive!!) - that's the true British Horror Story. I feel a few true crime fans will miss the point of this by assuming it's going to be a tell-all victim-lead, come for the gory details Finding Neverland-esque, type of doc. But this is a story that's far bigger and sinister as it turns the camera back at us and forces us to confront the roles that we all played in this.

The Jimmy Savile story is horrific , complex, and was needing told properly, an in depth study of what made this man the way he was. It needed an insight into his many victims,their stories and how lives were ruined.

Unfortunately this latest documentary offered nothing new. The same stuff wehave seen many times. It was slow paced and never really got its teeth properly into why Jimmy Savile did what he did. What were his early days like, as a child, his upbringing ? It was briefly mentioned but never elaborated on. Instead we get the same story thats been told many times before in similar documentaries.

It had its interesting moments, but overall this documentary was a disappointing anti-climax after all hype from Netflix.
