Recette sordide: L'escroc devenu meurtrier

This documentary has 3 episodes, but the story could have been told in just 1 (like they do with the 'Homicide Hunter' episodes). It was extremely drawn-out and for the most part, boring. I really struggled to stay engaged, which is sad considering it's a true story about a young lady who lost her life at the hands of a narcissistic sociopath. To make matters worse, his prison sentence was appalling!

For the above reason of it being a painfully slow docu-series, I would not recommend it to family or friends.

In my opinion, 3-part docu-series "American Nightmare" is exceptionally well done, and holds the viewers interest. I would recommend watching that instead.

Unfortunately one more sad story. True story. One more reminder how short this life is. But this is great for all the girls to see what kind of people they must avoid. I won't give spoilers. Watch and learn. Story is "great" I mean it's realistic and they did really good job with interviewing real people. But crucial fact it's really really wrong. And maybe people can react now and try to protest in Spain for him to spent his lifetime in prison. Justice failed in this case and that's a big disappointment for one country like Spain 🇪🇸 People from Spain do something this is your chance to react.

This Cesar Roman character lives in a world separate and apart from reality. He's in his own head and can't seem to get out of it. One of those people who believes he's right, and it's the rest of the world that's wrong.

This docu-series was pretty well produced, using the words and testimonies from the actual subjects. The English speaking actors were decent. As they were used in overdubbing the Spanish language. I thought it had a nice flow and all of the content was relevant to the case.

What's sad is a young lady lost her life while seeking a better life. And she was murdered in very grotesque way.

It was worth the time invested to watch all three episodes. 6.5/10.

Narcissist people are usually similar to this clown called "El Rey del cachopo" in Spain. A person who believes his own lies. The problem is when this person becames famous because an invention. Incredible.

First, I am Spaniard and I heard something about this story. After watching the mini series, the Truth is even worse than all the lies the media said. I don't want to spoil anything, but this case is absolutely infamous.

Second, I think the documentary is interesting, not because what happened, it is because the camera work, the real characters and without any hidden agenda apparently.

So, consequently I recommend this one if you have enjoyed "El Cuerpo en llamas" or "El Caso Nenúfar".

I am very displeased with the kind of film-making delivered here. It is almost funny that the movie actually "floods" you; you are made to listen to the most annoying chime 36+ times while literally reading through a thread of short, online messages. Granted those messages are important in uncovering the story, that is not the way you share information with the audience unless you want to irritate the hell out of them. I would have much rather read the story somewhere online as the sloppy storytelling did nothing to give me a coherent picture of what had happened. I might get frustrated way too easily but I turned it off due to the fact that instead of well written narration with illustration, I was reading stuff on the screen while cringing every time I heard a phone ping.
