The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph

The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas...(2024) is not something i can say i like,, but, its stimulating.

I enjoy watching documentaries about killer s and the likes. It amazes me every time.

It leaves me feeling a deep silence.. Like, how people can ever come up with those thoughts.

Also,, in every story dealing with Black Widow,, its always a female doing it because of financial problems.

But when its commited by a male.. its really surprising which will make you think about the motive behind it.

The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas...(2024) If yoh want to see a movie abt a Male Black Widow.

My wife and I recently watched The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph (2024) on Netflix. The storyline follows an eccentric, controlling, and manipulative man who is a habitual liar and cheater, yet somehow ends up married and widowed many times. He's been married six times, and three of his wives have died. Is it just bad luck, or could he be responsible for their deaths?

This docuseries is a wild ride, where you find yourself watching this man, listening to him talk, and wondering, "How did these situations even happen?" He's an odd-looking and even stranger-behaving individual. Even his friends find him a bit off, and it takes a while for them to recognize his manipulative ways. Over time, they too are repelled by his behavior. He's a controlling, manipulative person who preys on people seeking companionship or friendship, quickly maneuvering to gain the upper hand. It's heartbreaking to see someone weaponize friendship, love and marriage, but this series showcases exactly that. My heart goes out to the victims' friends and families.

In conclusion, The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph is a tragic tale of lies, deceit, and death. This is a fascinating docuseries that I'd rate 8/10 and recommend watching at least once.

As Episode 1 of "The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph" (2024 release; 3 episodes of 42 min. Each) opens, we are in "2005 Las Vegas", and Thomas Randolph is telling his story. "I met Susan, her husband had passed." They meet via a dating website, and before you know it, they are married... At this point we are less than 10 minutes into Episode 1.

Couple of comments: as the title of this mini-series indicates, Thomas Randolph ends up having been married 6 times, and this mini-series gives the full story of each of them, while also digging into the background of Thomas Randolph himself. Of course this is plot-heavy so I certainly am not going to spoil anything.. I will say that I was underwhelmed with the overall production value of this mini-series. It is bare-bones and just not done very well. I will readily admit that I ended up watching all 3 episodes because I knew that there were only 3 episodes. Frankly, I'm not sure why this was cut up in 3 episodes, when it simply could've been a 2 hr. Documentary.

"The Black Widower: The Six Wives of Thomas Randolph" recently starting streaming on Max, where I caught it the other night. I'm frankly surprised that it is streaming on Max, as this feels below the usual standard of documentaries airing in HBO and streaming on Max. Of course don't take my word for it, so if you like true crime documentaries, please check it out and draw your own conclusion.
