Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari

Well done doc, but could've been 2 episodes not 3. Everyone is cartoon villain level evil. Just abysmal. Main dude is a dentist and big game hunter, his dental assistant lady says they were doing root canals people didn't need on nearly everyone. She should be in literal jail. He should be in H***. His wife was a big game hunter too. And they all ran in an evil (conservative) circle. May they all have the days they deserve. Genuinely hard to watch.

I think who ever directed this, it might have been there first time. I had never heard of this story before and as a dental hygienist I was of course curious, but If I had to see one more clip of wildlife in Africa or the horrendous music (almost louder than the dialogue) at parts, I was going to turn it off. Definitely could have been one episode.

I've watched a lot of true crime, and this is one of the rare ones that is so bad, I stopped watching halfway through episode 1. The pacing is painfully slow, the music choice is bizarre (obviously picked to sound stereotypically "exotic" by people who don't know anything about Africa), and it sometimes drowns out the voices. The timeline jumps back and forth at random, they include the cringey B-roll and unrelated corny pop culture clips, and more. Did they really need to repeat 10 times in 20 minutes how much this guy loves hunting? Waste of time.

On a sode note, this documentary would have been ok, but the images of killing animals was not necessary. How the hell can the hunting and killing of innocent animals still be acceptable in society or by anyone? How on earth can there be "sporting " killing clubs? Absolutely disgusting people. Safari club, what a disgusting joke!

I gave it an honest shot, a little noisy and loud for every unnecessary reason but overall I found it to be a very interesting interesting story. Typical true crime showing you the wickedness of humans. I suggest watching it with an open mind and give it a chance. The reviews here might be a little harsh.
