Hadden Clark: l'assassin qui parlait à Jésus

I turned it off after the 76th hard cut and action movie trailer beat. It's absolutely unwatchable. I got a little over two minutes in. If you can watch more, you're better than me. I admit it. I'm a fan of true-crime stuff, absolutely. I don't have a tiktok attention span. But this made me feel like I was high on xtc at a german rave and talking about serial killers.

It'sjust absurdly badly made. I honestly doubt it 'll get better or you'll find a lot of substance in this documentary. The intro alone was enough to point that out. Something positive? Sure. The poster design is pretty awesome. Cool use of colors. But that's really all I've got. Maybe I'm too critical ... but maybe we should expect more? Now that I'm writing this, I wonder how the families feel about being in a transformer-style documentary.

If you are looking for a documentary with respect for the victims, that's not it. Don't know how much Michael Bay was actually involved in this but this is not a movie about alien robots, its a doc about real victims and it was not treated like one. Montage and music on steroids, lame reenactments. As if the presentation of the crimes of a serial killer aren't engaging enough, the pacing of this series ( I can't call it a documentary again with peace of mind) is clearly made for people who can't focus on the screen for more than 5 seconds unless its got explosions and stuff. Shame on everyone involved, exploitation of murdered children is an all time low.

Forensic Files covered Hadden Clark's case in under 30 minutes and still managed to share more info than this whole documentary season. The story is interesting but it could've been told in a single episode or short film. The documentary jumps between victims without clear structure and doesn't explain the evidence or forensics behind the convictions. It focuses too much on the killer's psychology and not enough on the crimes themselves. There are no interviews with Navy personnel to back up Clark's claims of killing while enlisted-even though one episode mentions him throwing someone off a ship. That should've been easy to verify. It also lacks the investigative depth of a show like The Jinx.

This should not have been a seven episode series. So many episodes showed a lot of the same clips and interviews and, frankly, was very annoying, confusing and a waste of time. The topic itself and interviews were interesting but by the time you watched the same ten minutes in several episodes it becomes boring. It wasn't just one clip or interview they repeated over and over, it was many. At first I thought I put on the same episode, but then they would finally move towards new information. Then the same thing would happen in the following episode.

If this was condensed to a two or three hour program I would give it at least nine stars. I give it one star for editing and continuity so I give the program five stars.

Michael Bay's new serial killer show falls short in nearly every aspect. Despite high production values and flashy visuals, it struggles with a lackluster plot and one-dimensional characters. The story's pacing is uneven, with too many cliché twists that fail to generate genuine suspense. The dialogue is often clunky and expository, undermining any attempt at depth or realism. While Bay's signature style might appeal to his typical substance-less fans of high-octane action, it feels out of place in the more nuanced world of psychological thrillers. Overall, the show is a disappointing blend of style over substance, leaving much to be desired for those expecting a gripping and thoughtful crime drama.
