No doubt, this is a great show if you are looking for getting some insights of psychopath. However, it makes me sick even though there is no brutal graphical description in the show. I'm sick of their callousness and the way they justified themselves.
I'm a big fan of crime shows, but, I really don't wanna see this show again at the same time. Big relief that I can't understand any of their behavior.

Most Murder Shows (what I call true crime shows) are superficially shallow in terms of the people involved, victims and perpetrators. This show gets a little deeper into the mind, psychology, behaviors, and motivations of psychopaths. I feel that after watching most if not all of the episodes, I could spot a psychopath a mile away. And yes, I've come across a few. Ask me about the 8 year old psychopathic kid I came across, who almost caused my son to quit hockey. I felt bad for the parents, who actually seemed like pretty good people. They just had a kid who was evil to his core. Fun fact about psychopaths: they make good CEOs. No empathy, they just care about the company making money for the shareholders. No empathy, let's layoff another few hundred or few thousand employees ...
I thought I knew what psychopathy was, but this show really made me understand what they are-and what they are is terrifying. The editing and the way psychologists narrate everything help you take a chilling peek into what is actually going on in their heads. It shows how their thinking can be eerily rational, just without any trace of empathy. It made me realize how different their internal world really is. You start to notice patterns in how they talk, how they shift blame, and how emotionally flat they are. It is not loud or dramatic-it is quiet, controlled, and unsettling. The show does a great job of letting the facts and behavior speak for themselves.
What helps this show stand out from all of the other true crime shows out there is the honest sometimes shocking "diagnosis" the doctors give us as the crimes of the psychopath unfold. The show portrays the crimes of a psychopath while it cuts to various doctors who explain the reasoning behind the act. While the doctors may give insight into the crime there's really no understanding them. After all, can anyone, other than another psychopath, understand the reasoning behind the crimes of the psychopath? But the doctors really give that insight in terms that we all can understand. The only negative I can think of is that they sometimes don't go deep enough into some of the criminals portrayed. I'd love to see an hour long episode on some of the criminals.
