I enjoyed hearing from his family members, and all of the people that were involved with the case one way or the other. However, there was a key member that missing in this documentary, which I think is a shame. James R. Fitzgerald was the profiler in the Unabomber case, and he did play a huge role in solving this crime using forensic linguistics. He did analyze Ted's letters and manifesto, and did came up with a profile that was nowhere near what the FBI had at that point. His language analysis was too valuable to this case to be left out of this documentary, and pretend like someone else was responsible for the good work that Fitz did. He is who pioneered the field of forensic linguistics and that sure does deserve credit.
I mean if I wanted to listen to his neighbours i would watch "Unabomber:Interview with his neighbours" .
I mean i liked when Ted talked but it was too little , and i would liked to listen more closely the association with the test he partake in college and to what extent it modified its personality.

The opening song is "Man" by The Worst.
Figured I'd throw that out there since I fell in love with the song as soon as I heard it. Reminded me of "True Detective" or Leonard Cohen.
I may not have enjoyed it if I'd known more about the UNABOMB case because others are saying it has the same info, but this is really well produced. It does feature more words from Kaczynski than I'd ever heard and am certain it's a lot more than has been out there.
It's not the gold mine of info that "The Confessor Killer" was, but it's informative and entertaining. Looking forward to more in what seems like a series from Netflix.

Not in his own words, but plenty of tape recording of him speaking. The series improves as it goes along. Last episode is excellent and heartfelt. The human dilemma his brother went through is hard to grasp. In ''Manhunt: Unabomber'' the none documentary. I think the story is that the brother managed to make a deal about securing a non death sentence before naming Ted to the FBI. If I remember it rightly. He didn't. Both sides of the story is shown.
The title and introduction to this doc suggests that we will see some in-depth interview with the unabomber. Unfortunately, we see just snippets of him talking. The actual shown footage of this interview and the images/videos we see when the background story is being told is underwhelming and constantly re-used throughout all 4 episodes. Interesting doc but could have been a lot better.
