My Lover, My Killer

Now ive only seen the first 2 episodes of season 2,m.

The first was decent, but the family/friends/prosecutors are very repetitive and don't do a great job of making you understand the people/places/situations in the least. Also i found this series to be very dry so far. Yay the second episode i found to be ridiculous i had to button down and force myself through the episode. The guy is just as bad as the girl. He is a drinker and a drug user.. from where i'm sitting they are the same.. i understand she did some bad stuff at the end, but seriously this isn't the type of murder you show case and act like he was an angel just caught in a bad cycle. So was she. It's just not a good look the way they are beating how much she drank into the ground and acting like she's trash when he was doing the same EXACT thing. Also she can get an abortion if she wants and she should have seeing as how she couldn't support another child with how her life was going and neither could he. He didn't even have any custody with his child what does that say about him. The uk stuck in the dark ages if they look at single moms wrong but single ESTRANGED fathers like it's not their fault.

I can't watch anymore, i like myself too much. Just no, no- absolutely not.

It's all just photos over and over the same ones. Pictures of the area and then people sat, talking Only watched episode one.

Why not show their texts? Why not show the photos where they were on hol?

Makes interesting stories really boring it needs more of this rather then speculation and hearsay.

The interviews are painful to watch, filled with useless information and one expert repeated himself continously just rephrasing his sentence over and over. Badly edited and put together what could be put in a 25min to 30min episode is dragged out with useless information while concluding information is just brushed over and ignored. This applies to all the episodes.

The cases themselves are fairly interesting, given a very detailed build-up to the eventual murder so you can really get a feel for the people involved and the narrator does a good job of tying everything together but there often lacks detail of how the actual event transpired (understandable as only the killer knows what happened in each case but it sort of glosses over it in some cases, just simply a they killed them and that's it).

There are other issues which lead me to give this a middle of the road rating. Firstly it can be quite repetitive, often repeating quotes or rehashing the story (presumably because it was made for advert breaks and there aren't any on netflix) and the portrayal of the killer/victim seems very biased and one sided. Always describing the victim as innocent and the killer as out of control or psychopathic which may be the case but no way as black and white as this documentary implies.

The story is well described, CCTV footage, there are psychologists analyzing the mental state. Could have more real details like message exchange etc.
