It took me a while to figure out why this series left such a strange taste in my mouth. I can see what the producers were trying to do, narrow the focus on Bundy and come away with a new view on an old and infamous case. But let’s talk about how that has the potential to go so wrong.
This series falls to its knees in awe and wonder at what Bundy was able to “accomplish.” It focuses on his manipulations, his cunning, his charm, his good looks, his daring escapes. And that part is undeniably fascinating. And I understand the urge to pull back before getting to the real nitty gritty gore at the climax of this narrative, which this series does. We’re left holding the receiver and listening to a dial tone just before the devil picks up the phone. If this is the only thing you ever watch about this case, you’re going to come away from it thinking that Ted Bundy might just be Batman.
This man killed more than 30 women. He was a violent and sadistic rapist. This man killed more than 30 women. He escaped from jail. Twice. So that he could kill again. Read that once more. This man killed more than 30 women.
This shouldn’t be the first, and should never be the only, thing that someone watches about Ted Bundy. Watch it. Enjoy it. But read or watch more about this case, please.
I’ve seen several Ted Bundy documentaries and movies and read many books and articles, so I was expecting to let this play in the background and was pleasantly surprised that this docu-series separated itself from all the other shows with the use of his own word, but even more so because there were actually new details which I’ve never heard before… so I began watching this with only half my focus, and was watching intently by halfway thru the 1st episode, shushing anyone who tried talking to me and rewinding it in frustration because I missed 30 seconds!
Excellent! Detailed with old footage.
