Psychopath with Piers Morgan

To me Paris seems scared, confused and frustrated. The professionals, the crew and his family have already decided he's a psychopath and no one wants to find out how it was to be raised by a drug addicted mother and having so much responsibility for your younger sibling as a child. He gets no empathy and no one really cares why he felt alienated and alone growing up. I'm not saying that what he did was okay, but I think it's strange that not even the psychologists wants to understand his mind. I learned nothing by watching this.

I have seen that plenty of people have been catching up with this documentary so I thought I would give a watch of the TV Film from last year Psychopath with Piers Morgan. The premise of the documentary sees Morgan meet a man who is believed to be a Psychopath and find out more about him.

First onto Piers Morgan and I am not a huge fan of this guy, I usually find him arrogant and obnoxious but fair play to him I thought he did a really good job as the interviewer. He asks tough questions and you can tell that he is trying to keep up with his subject and it is an interesting watch.

This guy he is interviewing called Paris Bennett is a very complex individual, he committed a horrendous act when he was younger and it interesting to see a glimpse of how his mind works and how he justifies and attempts to connect his ideals with Piers Morgan.

You also feel sorry for his mother, who is watching the interview, you can tell how much the whole situation has affected her and how she really struggles in dealing with her sons issues. But then you get to the investigators who feel campy and over the top, they feel like they have to make a big song and dance about everything like they know that they are on TV.

The issue is here is that we only get 45 minutes of programming here and the majority is just the interview between Morgan and Bennett, which is interesting enough but it feels like there is so much more that could be done here. This could have been a mini series focusing on more of Bennett's personality and really analysing his psychotic tendencies, it just leaves you wanting to know more and feeling like you didn't get enough information.

Overall, this film has an interesting idea and seeing this interview is quite compelling but it feels like it short changes you and that there is a bigger story to tell which leaves it an okay but unsatisfying experience.

Rating - 5/10.

Watched this because I find personality disorders facilitating. Firstly, I would have rather seen a detached (emotionally) analysis of Paris. Instead it was an hour long episode of two "professionals" in the field and piers Morgan. A woman who was described as a doctor in criminology and a profiler from the FBI (who you'd think would have projected his own feelings less). So for the full hour, we got Piers Morgan asking questions to someone who (probably for legal reasons) isn't going to be able to give much information, and two "professionals" who brought their own stereotypical idea of what a "psychopath" is and projected it onto everything Paris did. I wanted to hear from the psychiatrist who diagnosed him because I assume that person has spent years with him getting to actual understand how the personality disorder manifests in him. It's a personality disorder, everyone with a Certain personality disorder will share traits associated with it but at the end of the day, every personality disorder will manifest differently in every person. So I expected actual analysis, actual understanding of Paris as a psychopath. And instead it was just Piers Morgan asking pointless questions, we don't really know where this rage in Paris came from, we don't really know whether he was born a psychopath or became one (experts also don't know whether they're made or become based on their environments but if theyd done the work, we maybe could have had an idea if he had a tough environment growing up from his pov. It just made me angry watching it because it needed to be an unattached analysis of him and instead I have no idea what it was? It's not worth watching and provides 0 educational benefit.

Paris is a diagnosed sociopath who admitted to sexually assaulting and murdering his sister. Seeing how there are other reviewers here who are feeling sorry for him, and perhaps would fight for him to return to society, this documentary seems to serve nothing good for the safety of society. The court has deemed him a predator and too dangerous for him to be in contact with children. These details did not seem to be adequately highlighted for the public to understand just how dangerous this boy is.

Piers wants all of these people to be guilty- Guilty or not. He treats them like criminals with no voice
