A documentary about sad little sociopath with mommy issues, drug issues, and a below average IQ, if you ask me.

I usually avoid 3 episode Netflix true crime shows as they usually get overly dragged out, but this one didn't feel like it.

When it started I was laughing my bum off, but already by the end of the episode 1 I realized this guy's a one trick pony. 1 formula for all of his sketches. Gets tiring really soon.

I even searched for the hotdog sketch on youtube, because everyone kept talking about it, and even that was just...meh.

It was exactly what I expected it to be, and it was on the level of Mr. Bean.

I feel like people who tell you it's not are only saying it because they didn't get to see it their first time as a child, like they did with Mr. Bean.

However, I must say, watching this as an adult gave me anxiety. It's probably more suitable for children. 😂

The show is full of adorable animals who can do stuff none of us thought they could, and although it's fairly obvious that giving the animals more activities makes their intelligence and cognition far higher, there's still a question of ethics in some of the examples.

For example, the parachute guy obviously loves his dog to pieces, but should be aware that him reading his dog's behaviour without having a proper education for it might just be a confirmation bias. He should most definitely test dog's stress levels after a jump, just like those scientists did with the rats.

It's incredibly important that the story of this monster is finally out, and that the victims finally have a voice, but this documentary was soooooo boooooring. It should've been a 1 hour movie. Instead of simply presenting us Jimmy Savile's career in 20 minutes, and then giving the voice to victims and their stories, this was in fact 2 hours and 15 minutes of presenting Jimmy Savile's career, and 15 minutes of the horror and the story of what a monster he's been. Disappointing.

Hasan has no charisma and is making me cringe while delivering the jokes. It's a cool idea, but jokes are very American - overly simple, and not funny.

I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of bad reviews. Yes, the story goes slower, but bc there's a bunch of characters involved in it, and the tempo is specific for this kind of subject, as this isn't an action/shooter series.

The cast is spot on! Collin should get all the rewards for this role, as his voice, way of talking, movements, everything is exactly as Mike Peterson! Toni's doing a great job too!

I also love that there are very explicit scenes in the series, as they did exactly what they were made to do - shock!

I was a bit obsessed with this case, and have seen the documentary and read a few books. I love that this series is putting all of this together, and is giving us deeper connection with the people involved in it, be the drama between them fictional or not (although I do believe this part is probably also quite realistic, as it simply makes a lot of sense).

I love love love that the series is exposing the prosecution! It was fairly obvious throughout the entire trial that they were the bad guys, and even though I do believe Mike had something to do with Kathleen's death, not giving him a fair trial has hurt not only him, but the whole family and the justice that Kathleen deserved.

I kinda want to see the ending of it, because there are so many positive reviews on it, but I don't think I can finish the show. I really tried tho, but had to stop in the middle of the third episode. I usually love British humour, but this just wasn't funny for me. I feel like Catherine choosing to play all these characters was a mistake, and some of them are quite cringey and I didn't find them funny at all - like the inmate with a Scottish accent, who's annoying and it looks like Catherine is making fun of mental illness. Now, I'm really not one of those people who can't take a joke, but I'd say, if it isn't funny, that's when it's just offensive, and I don't see anything funny in someone constantly shouting stuff in a disabled way. Then there's the mistake of her playing that Essex guard. With no voice change and too obvious make-up, it just looked and sounded like Catherine in a bad Halloween costume.

3 stars because I like The Officey vibe, plus I did like the other guard, and Catherine's lead character. It's too bad she didn't stick with playing only that one.
