    Stop making karla out to be a victim!! She was just as involved as he was if not more so. No one died until she came along. You can see in the tapes she's not traumatized in any way. Several times she was left alone with both Leslie and Kristin. She is pure evil.

    Alan Young needs to shut his karla loving mouth!

    Jim Nally is garbage.

    He avoided professionals who deal with trauma victims, grooming and the resultant behavior, sociopathy, psychopathy, and he does so to deliberately rile up the stupid general public who want to bring back public executions because they're lives are worthless. Please, from a professional psychology, philosophy, and psychopathy lifetime student, rise above the stupid hate and watch something else.

    Four parter, two part more than needed.

    Although this documentary was quite thorough and held back no details of one of the most sickening couples and their crimes in history, the series ended up being bloated to the point of dulling the horrific impact of the overall story. I lost count of how many times they showed the same video clips to make the same points that had already been made repeatedly. Talking heads, who knew a great deal behind the scenes as well as some knowing the perpetrators personally, also seemed to repeat themselves far too often. Overall, my rating was lowered simply because we could have learned all the same information about this notorious case from a 2 hour series just as easily as the long drawn out 4 hour series we got.

    Ken and Barbie Killers: The Lost Tapes is a disturbing yet compelling documentary that exposes the depths of human evil.

    Ken and Barbie Killers: The Lost Tapes (2021), now streaming on MAX, is a chilling and heartbreaking documentary. It follows the shocking story of a seemingly perfect Canadian couple-blond, attractive, and happily married-who are, in reality, serial killers responsible for the kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder of teenage girls. When the wife decides to turn on her husband and report him, the question arises: will this end their reign of terror, or will it expose a deeper web of deceit?

    Directed by Jim Nally (Madness in the Fast Lane), the documentary includes interviews with those close to the couple, legal experts, lawyers, jurors, friends, and family members, offering a comprehensive view of the case. The couple's heinous crimes are almost too shocking to comprehend, and the accounts of their victims' suffering are both horrifying and deeply tragic. The film does not shy away from the emotional weight of the story, making it a difficult but important watch. The courtroom drama that follows adds another layer of devastation as the extent of their depravity comes to light.

    However, one flaw is the overuse of repetitive footage between segments, which can detract from the overall experience.

    In conclusion, Ken and Barbie Killers: The Lost Tapes is a disturbing yet compelling documentary that exposes the depths of human evil. I would rate it 8/10 and strongly recommend it.

    OK Series

    This series was only OK. It didn't have to be as drawn out as it was. I noticed in the 3 episode they kept repeating what was said in the previous 2 episodes. It was just a waste of time to keep rehashing what had already been said 3 or 4 times.
