Ken and Barbie Killers: The Lost Murder Tapes

Although this documentary was quite thorough and held back no details of one of the most sickening couples and their crimes in history, the series ended up being bloated to the point of dulling the horrific impact of the overall story. I lost count of how many times they showed the same video clips to make the same points that had already been made repeatedly. Talking heads, who knew a great deal behind the scenes as well as some knowing the perpetrators personally, also seemed to repeat themselves far too often. Overall, my rating was lowered simply because we could have learned all the same information about this notorious case from a 2 hour series just as easily as the long drawn out 4 hour series we got.

This series was only OK. It didn't have to be as drawn out as it was. I noticed in the 3 episode they kept repeating what was said in the previous 2 episodes. It was just a waste of time to keep rehashing what had already been said 3 or 4 times.

No, don't waste your time. This is a "Canadian" production - no sense of self awareness, or pace, or time. Just a bunch of vignettes signifying nothing. It's a great story, but Canadians simply don't know how to produce these things - stuffed with pointless filler from people who find themselves all too amusing or interesting. I recommend the book "Invisible Darkness" by Stephen Somebody - much better, much superior to this garbage. They called themselves "KH" LOVEs "PB" OR PB LOVES KH and it just goes on and on with superfluous nonsense. The story itself is very interesting for fans of true crimes - this production is not.

Stop making karla out to be a victim!! She was just as involved as he was if not more so. No one died until she came along. You can see in the tapes she's not traumatized in any way. Several times she was left alone with both Leslie and Kristin. She is pure evil.

Alan Young needs to shut his karla loving mouth!

I thought it was well done. A lot of information I didn't know about the case, including the footage. These two are monsters. People complaining how easy they were on Karla didn't watch the whole series clearly. I'm glad to see they spent a lot of time on the victims, which is how it should be. Hope the police keep an eye on Karla though.

Side note. Leigh-Anne Plato is stunningly gorgeous, almost derails the documentary.
