Sins of the Father: The Green River Killer

You have the actual detectives explaining the situation, then cut to a tiktok host, that doesn't know anything other than what she read or watched. I want to her the detective speak. Not all these people from the media.

Overall it's a decent documentary. Feel like people were added to boost their fame in the murder media industry. I would have given a much higher rating of these people were not in the documentary. You had interviews with people that were actually there. Why would you cut halfway threw while he's speaking, the man that actually caught this killer, to a tiktok host literally nobody care about. I found that extremely annoying.

No new facts were mentioned. I've seen all of this before. All you did was add people in the murder media industry.

The Green River Killer was in the news for almost twenty years before his capture. Because the victims were, for the most part, prostitutes, little concern was given, when compared with Ted Bundy, who killed a good number of "innocent" college co-eds. Ted makes an obligatory appearance as he volunteered his advice on catching the killer. One of his predictions was hauntingly accurate. No serial killer doc would be complete without the Tedster. The reenactments are, as usual, overdone, but the final portion with Ridgway interviews are the highlight of the documentary. Interviews with his third and final wife are bizarre. Overall, a very entertaining film.

I have already seen so many documentaries on this killer, that I hoped to learn something new from this one.

But unfortunately it was not the case. It was just the basics of the story that was already told in other videos.

It is even so that very important facts were not told: e.g. How they got an initial DNA comparison from his son.

I often ask myself why they keep making so many documentaries about the same murderer. Why don't they take a murderer that has not yet have a documentary?!

I noticed that the judge said 'You have so little disregard.......'. He should have said 'You have so little regard.....'

How this killer perceived his victims was shocking.

This was my first time watching a Tubi TV original documentary, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Although, not quite the same level of quality, as Netflix documentaries, for example, I think they did pretty well, dipping their toes into true crime. I did not care much for the narrator, as he sounds like the voice of every narrator in 80s & 90s horror movie trailers, and I just found his voice and manner of speaking very annoying.

This is definitely a good watch for any true crime fan, and especially those who also listen to true crime podcasts, as they have few hosts of population pods as commentators in the program.

I hope Tubi TV keeps doing more of these, and perhaps they'll keep refining them into higher quality content, as they go.
