Signs of a Psychopath

The so called experts present little insight into the subject matter and fail to offer any real science-based evidence that would identify the featured defendants as psychopathic. At the most their crimes and actions show some sociopathic tendencies or personality disorders but nothing rising to the level of the misleading title.

This is one of the best Raw True Crime Documentary out there.

Although I watched every episode, one season would have been enough to tell me all I needed to know: suss out the psychopaths and stay out of reach. These killers put to shame all the videos I have watched on narcissism. What I found surreal was the way someone who had just killed a whole family or a pregnant girlfriend could shrug their shoulders and laugh, then try to wriggle out of the charges. I subtracted 2 stars from a possible 10 because a couple of the female experts seemed not to have watched the actual interviews of the killers and were just talking off the tops of their heads. Instead of addressing individual psychopathy they would just toss off the exact same "observations" each episode -- "this guy is devoid of emotion" or "this person treats people like objects" or "they are trying to hint at an insanity defense." I would have liked more in-depth analysis of particular cases. It was too facile and repetitive in many instances. I started feeling sorry for the cops who have to put up with these murderous, lazy, self-indulgent criminals every day who sit there and lie.

This insightful, fascinating series gives you an insight into psychopathic behaviour. It makes for some uncomfortable viewing, especially when watching a psychopath explain his behavior like he's just been taking a stroll. It's exceptionally creepy, but definitely compulsive viewing. Experts talk you through what kind of behaviors psychopaths can display, which I find extremely helpful. At the start of the series you're asked 'would you see the signs'? The point is, psychopaths adapt and blend in, adjust their behavior to suit their needs - so that question is chilling. Each episode focuses on a different psychopath - be warned, some of the details are not for the faint of heart, as psychopaths have no empathy, relishing reliving their crimes to an extraordinary level.

A little drawn out at times but fairly informative. Not too sure about those so called experts. I have a background in psychology, and they do not sound overly educated in their fields. Maybe even at a level of a tRUMP U. Graduate... But that Dr. Chitra Raghvan- Woohoooo... I'm a val ya know!

He was, like, freaking me out He called me a beastie That's 'cause, like He was totally blitzed He goes, like, bag your face!
