Signs of a Psychopath

This show is nothing short of captivating - not because it glamorizes crime, but because it offers a raw, unfiltered look into the minds of individuals who defy the boundaries of normal human emotion. It doesn't just focus on "criminals" in the traditional sense, but instead zeroes in on true psychopaths - people whose actions and psychology challenge our understanding of morality, empathy, and motive.

What makes this series stand out is the expert commentary from seasoned psychologists and behavioral analysts. Their insights add a powerful layer of depth, helping the viewer grasp the subtle (and sometimes chilling) nuances behind these individuals' behaviors, expressions, and manipulative tactics. You're not just watching a documentary - you're being educated in the complex science of the human psyche.

The interrogation footage is by far the most gripping aspect of the show. Watching these people interact with law enforcement in real time - the lies, the deflections, the moments they slip up - is both unsettling and fascinating. It reveals how calculated and, at times, terrifyingly calm some of these individuals can be. The way they speak, the micro-expressions on their faces, even their body language - every second feels like a lesson in psychology and criminal behavior.

If you're someone who's intrigued by forensic psychology, criminal profiling, or just love a show that challenges your thinking and keeps you hooked from start to finish, this is an absolute must-watch. It's thought-provoking, intense, and disturbingly unforgettable.

No doubt, this is a great show if you are looking for getting some insights of psychopath. However, it makes me sick even though there is no brutal graphical description in the show. I'm sick of their callousness and the way they justified themselves.

I'm a big fan of crime shows, but, I really don't wanna see this show again at the same time. Big relief that I can't understand any of their behavior.

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.

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.

Most Murder Shows (what I call true crime shows) are superficially shallow in terms of the people involved, victims and perpetrators. This show gets a little deeper into the mind, psychology, behaviors, and motivations of psychopaths. I feel that after watching most if not all of the episodes, I could spot a psychopath a mile away. And yes, I've come across a few. Ask me about the 8 year old psychopathic kid I came across, who almost caused my son to quit hockey. I felt bad for the parents, who actually seemed like pretty good people. They just had a kid who was evil to his core. Fun fact about psychopaths: they make good CEOs. No empathy, they just care about the company making money for the shareholders. No empathy, let's layoff another few hundred or few thousand employees ...
