Killer Sally: Meurtre sous stéroïdes

This documentary was well made. The first episode I laughed out loud and it was quite lighthearted and interesting, and then I posits 2 became darker.

They did it in a way in that lost of the story was from Sally herself, however they did present the other side which had you wondering what you'd do if you were on the jury.

I really feel for her children the most, the poor things were so young and entered into a life of violence afterwards too.

Being only 3 episodes this was a perfect amount of time - anything over 4 episodes is too long for a documentary.

Recommend to all true crime doco lovers out there. You'll learn something about bodybuilding too!

This documentary was a real roller coaster. But I'm so happy about the outcome even though I feel she didn't deserve all the time she did. It's embarrassing that her defense lawyer did an interview because he failed astronomically. I hope she is truly happy and living her best life. I don't believe for one second she was planning to kill her husband, I believe she was a battered woman and did what she had to do to save her life and potentially the lives of her children. Domestic abuse victims doesn't advertise the abuse, they hide it. And I just want to puke on the men defending him. Over and out.

Killer Sally (2022) is a Netflix series my wife and I watched today. The storyline follows two married body builders with two kids as they met and rose to body building stardom. They lived unique lifestyles because of opportunities presented to body builders during that time and ultimately their relationship ends tragically. We uncover clues on what and why things unfolded the way they did.

This series was fascinating not only due to the characters and lifestyles but also due to the fetishes that were revealed. People often forget that before "Only Fans" and the internet there were limitations to how you could access certain content. It was fascinating to me to see that side of the boy building world. The story itself was thorough and did a great job of getting multiple perspectives from all sides and unveiling clues in the most dramatic way possible. Also the flashes to "Hard Copy" gave me a nostalgic feel for the 90s when Hard Copy and Unsolved Mysteries were must see TV. The story also gives you space to have your own opinion on exactly how things happened.

Overall, this is a creative and well done docuseries that is definitely worth a viewing. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.

I walked into this series not sure what to expect. So many other true crime docs recently have been so bad. Over dramatized. Slow. Etc. But I'm glad I took the chance with this one. The pacing was great. The interviews were not over sentualized. The doc maker definitely had an opinion and made it clear. I think people will walk away thinking this is about her being innocent. I disagree. Sally made some bad decisions, but I have a lot of empathy for her situation. I think the film is about how women are driven to a point of breaking from a lifetime of abuse. Nobody would talk about it. Excuses were made. The man's side is automatically taken. The BS just swept under the rug. Thru continued recognition that domestic abuse is real and that we should not turn a blind eye to it, hopefully more people can get out of the toxic relationship earlier before another life or lives are destroyed. On a side note. I found the exploration into the subculture of body building and muscle worshipping very interesting.

Killer Sally is another true crime story like we are bombarded with on television lately. This case is well explained, with good interviews of both sides of the story, from killer to children, from best friends to attorneys. Everybody will have an opinion about the case and so did I. I think Sally McNeil was a battered woman but still she shouldn't have killed him. Leaving him was the only correct solution, like it always should be in these cases. I am sure he wasn't an easy man to live with but she had for sure a violent temper as well so these two should never have met each other or ar least not stayed together. I didn't found her a heartless or irritating woman. The only real cockroach of society in this well made documentary is Dan Goldstein, the former district attorney. A nasty narcist that enjoys being in the spotlights, that feeds on the misery of others. He's the only one that made me sick to the stomach.
