The Nobody Zone: Interview with an Irish Serial Killer

Ned Dennehy did an excellent job portraying the psychopathic Kieran Kelly.

The story itself is quite fascinating, however this could have been so much better.

The editing/direction was so poor. The constant repeating everything over and over quickly became very irritating, to the point I couldn't finish it. I assume the thought behind the decision to keep replaying the same scenes over and over was to try and build tension? It can't have been to recap, unless your pet goldfish is into crime docu dramas...the whole story could have been condensed into 30 minutes, and been much sharper and punchier. I think if you're interested, then read up about this case because watching this is unlikely to hold your attention.

Ned Dennehy's performance in the documentary was excellent, showcasing his talent and dedication. However, the documentary itself was quite disappointing. It constantly repeated various dialogue points and reused the exact same footage, making it an absolute pain to watch. The entire two-episode series could easily be compacted into a YouTube short. I found myself skipping forward just to progress the storyline. It started off really well, but the quality quickly declined. It wouldn't be surprising if this was produced as a student project. If anyone is planning on watching this, I would recommend giving it a skip. The repetitive nature and lack of fresh content made it a frustrating experience overall. Despite Dennehy's strong performance, the documentary failed as it was so poorly produced.

Roughly 20 minutes of footage and voice overs repeated over and over into two episodes.

Surprised that this was watched back by production and they went ahead with it.

Kieran Patrick Kelly is arrested for stealing a ring, Police are shocked to learn that their prisoner is actually a serial killer. Kelly confesses to several murders, but his stories and accounts are muddled and confused.

There's a terrific story here, Kelly's story is shocking, it's surely up there with some of the world's most infamous serial killers, unfortunately this two part documentary is woeful.

The recreated interview sequence just don't work, and account for most of the material, this could and should have been so good, sadly it just wasn't.

We all know someone that can't help but repeat themselves, that person who will tell you they've bought a newspaper four times a day, that's what this boring documentary is, repetitive beyond belief, talk about a stuck record.

Ned Dennehy is truly wasted here, very talented, and does a fine job, considering the ridiculous demands put on him, he's the one shining light in this snooze fest.

4/10.

By the second part I wished he would kill me.

Did you kill him?

Yes, maybe, no, yes...maybe. Great. So, whatever RTE do next, it shouldn't be more of this. Every single victim gets the same response and even when he is sure he killed someone, they tell him that he couldn't have because he was in prison when it happened. And then we're onto the next victim. Did you kill him? Yes, maybe, no, yes...maybe...

It just feels like someone's pulling your fingernails out one by one-which would have been far more entertaining I might add.

So what was the point of this? Apart from boredom, obviously. Because it's not very interesting.
