Psychopath with Piers Morgan

I gave a one star because of Piers and his awful questions. His questions are so ridiculous that mid question i think even Piers doesn't know what he wanted to ask. He is a very bad interviewer.

I have seen that plenty of people have been catching up with this documentary so I thought I would give a watch of the TV Film from last year Psychopath with Piers Morgan. The premise of the documentary sees Morgan meet a man who is believed to be a Psychopath and find out more about him.

First onto Piers Morgan and I am not a huge fan of this guy, I usually find him arrogant and obnoxious but fair play to him I thought he did a really good job as the interviewer. He asks tough questions and you can tell that he is trying to keep up with his subject and it is an interesting watch.

This guy he is interviewing called Paris Bennett is a very complex individual, he committed a horrendous act when he was younger and it interesting to see a glimpse of how his mind works and how he justifies and attempts to connect his ideals with Piers Morgan.

You also feel sorry for his mother, who is watching the interview, you can tell how much the whole situation has affected her and how she really struggles in dealing with her sons issues. But then you get to the investigators who feel campy and over the top, they feel like they have to make a big song and dance about everything like they know that they are on TV.

The issue is here is that we only get 45 minutes of programming here and the majority is just the interview between Morgan and Bennett, which is interesting enough but it feels like there is so much more that could be done here. This could have been a mini series focusing on more of Bennett's personality and really analysing his psychotic tendencies, it just leaves you wanting to know more and feeling like you didn't get enough information.

Overall, this film has an interesting idea and seeing this interview is quite compelling but it feels like it short changes you and that there is a bigger story to tell which leaves it an okay but unsatisfying experience.

Rating - 5/10.

A tragic story, the murder of a young girl, and turmoil for a Mother who lost both of her children.

I don't love the format of the show, but then what would be a good format to tell such a harrowing story? I find most of these shows a little self indulgent, but it's oddly intriguing.

My sympathies are with the Mum and Sister, Paris is a complex character, I am no psychologist so don't have any right to analyse him, all I would say is the creator of a tragedy, and has seemingly no remorse.

Piers .... Oh Piers ... love him or hate him he's not afraid to ask the questions most would shy away from. He's relatively placid here, the so called experts are a bit over the top..

6/10.

The guy is a psychopath, we know that from the title, we know that from hearing what he admits to have done; so why be so biased. This could have been really interesting but it was rubbish and the less said about the two 'experts' the better.

Watched this because I find personality disorders facilitating. Firstly, I would have rather seen a detached (emotionally) analysis of Paris. Instead it was an hour long episode of two "professionals" in the field and piers Morgan. A woman who was described as a doctor in criminology and a profiler from the FBI (who you'd think would have projected his own feelings less). So for the full hour, we got Piers Morgan asking questions to someone who (probably for legal reasons) isn't going to be able to give much information, and two "professionals" who brought their own stereotypical idea of what a "psychopath" is and projected it onto everything Paris did. I wanted to hear from the psychiatrist who diagnosed him because I assume that person has spent years with him getting to actual understand how the personality disorder manifests in him. It's a personality disorder, everyone with a Certain personality disorder will share traits associated with it but at the end of the day, every personality disorder will manifest differently in every person. So I expected actual analysis, actual understanding of Paris as a psychopath. And instead it was just Piers Morgan asking pointless questions, we don't really know where this rage in Paris came from, we don't really know whether he was born a psychopath or became one (experts also don't know whether they're made or become based on their environments but if theyd done the work, we maybe could have had an idea if he had a tough environment growing up from his pov. It just made me angry watching it because it needed to be an unattached analysis of him and instead I have no idea what it was? It's not worth watching and provides 0 educational benefit.
