Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior

This should not have been a seven episode series. So many episodes showed a lot of the same clips and interviews and, frankly, was very annoying, confusing and a waste of time. The topic itself and interviews were interesting but by the time you watched the same ten minutes in several episodes it becomes boring. It wasn't just one clip or interview they repeated over and over, it was many. At first I thought I put on the same episode, but then they would finally move towards new information. Then the same thing would happen in the following episode.

If this was condensed to a two or three hour program I would give it at least nine stars. I give it one star for editing and continuity so I give the program five stars.

FINALLY! Finally a different directing style for a true crime show.! I watch so many and so many are the same and same criminals with no new information. This is a serial killer who I was not familiar with and much deeper dive into the family of the criminal. Much deeper dive into the families hurt by this monster. A true description to the law enforcement behind it even if ugly truths of how they tried to find information. Obviously would not condone that behavior by law enforcement however they knew this man was a monster. Truly disgusting. Thank you again for a different and respectful and true story Michael Bay!!

Michael Bay's new serial killer show falls short in nearly every aspect. Despite high production values and flashy visuals, it struggles with a lackluster plot and one-dimensional characters. The story's pacing is uneven, with too many cliché twists that fail to generate genuine suspense. The dialogue is often clunky and expository, undermining any attempt at depth or realism. While Bay's signature style might appeal to his typical substance-less fans of high-octane action, it feels out of place in the more nuanced world of psychological thrillers. Overall, the show is a disappointing blend of style over substance, leaving much to be desired for those expecting a gripping and thoughtful crime drama.

If you are looking for a documentary with respect for the victims, that's not it. Don't know how much Michael Bay was actually involved in this but this is not a movie about alien robots, its a doc about real victims and it was not treated like one. Montage and music on steroids, lame reenactments. As if the presentation of the crimes of a serial killer aren't engaging enough, the pacing of this series ( I can't call it a documentary again with peace of mind) is clearly made for people who can't focus on the screen for more than 5 seconds unless its got explosions and stuff. Shame on everyone involved, exploitation of murdered children is an all time low.

Everyone in my true crime groups are raving about the series as well. Many of us binged the whole 5 episodes already.

The interrogation interviews were interesting. The characters were captivating when telling their stories. Many of them are from the East Coast so they had that blunt and humorous aspect to them.

For a documentary about such a depraved and sick cat, the detectives and the savior were hilarious at times. I don't think I've ever laughed watching true crime, but the characters were so real and candid.

I also appreciate that this case hasn't been overly covered like most are. You have to wonder if producers, directors and networks are just lazy are trying to save a buck. Even though I had seen one show on this case, the content in this series was original. The evidence presented was interesting as well.
