Ted Bundy: Autoportrait d'un tueur

This was a pretty solid documentary. Nice and stylized production. I think it's very noteworthy that they were able to get the investigators, detectives, attorneys, agents, etc. that they did for the documentary. It's also cool how they put together all the press from across the states and counties about Bundy. On this note it was quite thorough. However, the documentary never hits got into the details of Bundy's murders; it felt like there was some sort of lack of depth in that aspect. It's not that I wanted to relish in the details of the ways he carried what he did and on his life. But for all the times it was repeated what a downright monster he was, the documentary didn't really give the true reasons why. (Perhaps our of respect for the victims? I don't know). Heck, even the Wikipedia page has an immense amount of detail on his life.

Slick production value. I learned some things I didn't know, but I would have liked more actual audio of the interviews. He had 100 hours of tape but you hear only the tiniest fraction of it in the documentary.

Also, if you watch on Neflix, there's a podcast available of an interview with the author where the interviewer goes off the deep end with some new-age-"woke"-social-justice nonsensical buzzwords. Yes, Ted Bundy benefited by being white, but that's only the beginning. He was white AND clean-cut, intelligent, college educated, careful about how he came across, etc. If Bundy was some grungy long-haired tatooed guy, white or not, he would not have evaded punishment for so long. But if you like hearing words like "identity" , "intersectional", and "whiteness" bandied about as though they have any practical application to the real world, by all means give it a listen.

First of all, you can totally watch this alone, but...prewarning...you won't be able to stop. It's 3 AM, and I was not going to sleep until I had finished it. I honestly never really knew much about Ted Bundy. I just knew of him and that he was an infamous serial killer. I had no idea how extensive his killings were, and I'm honestly dumbfounded. I don't know how he got away with it for as long as he did. It makes me wonder how long he would have made it today. He is...by far...the worst, but it makes me wonder how many people out there are just like him. This documentary was one of the best I've seen. I would definitely put it up there with Making a Murderer. I'm really going to need Netflix to make this a series and add some more seasons on the rest of these guys, i.e. Manson and Dahmer. Please and Thank You!

There are so many myths surrounding Ted Bundy, but this documentary stuck to the facts and made a compelling case. I'm embarressed to admit I even found Ted charming but he is sick, twisted, and dark; a real life Lucifer. What a metaphor for pure evil in the appearance of charm, even handsomeness. VERY interesting watch.

All the facts are laid out chronologically. This documentary draws you in. I watched all four episodes in one sitting. More than once I felt goosebumps at the depravity of a man who seemed so normal, yet was downright evil. I have seen many Netflix docs. This one is well worth a watch.
