Summary
Reviewers say 'Falling for a Killer' offers a unique perspective on Ted Bundy's crimes, focusing on victims, families, and 1970s culture. Praised for giving voice to victims and survivors, it contrasts with typical Bundy-centric narratives. The inclusion of Bundy's girlfriend and daughter adds a personal touch.

Many appreciate its historical and sociological insights, emotional depth, powerful interviews, and the bravery of those sharing their stories.
Featured reviews
True, the story revolved around Bundy and the wrath he wrought upon women over 50 years ago in the States.
Flippant or not, the real story to me was about the dignity, sorrow and resurrection of the women Bundy imposed himself upon.
When you look at how the men in this series faired, compared to the women that suffered unimaginable horror in their lives as compared to the men...well, I look up to the heavens and thank God for the gift that he gave us:
Women.
So much stronger than we men and resolute.
There are rare times you take stock of life from entertainment, this was one of those times for me and a reminder of the blessings that women bring to life.
As for Bundy, he got what was coming to him other than, his ending was too swift for my liking. More agony and pain, prolonged, would have made me happy - see that smug, self-important, above it all smile of his wiped clean from his face slowly and deliberately. Unforgivable what he did, an animal has more compassion than he.
Lastly, thank you Amazon Prime for letting me see the worst and best of humanity. Sobering to say the very least.

I don't know why anyone would give this series a low rating. It's remarkable, the intelligence, insights, and self-examination that the victims reveal, especiall the woman and her daughter who were his "family" partners. The daughter is the winner.
An absolutely extraordinary true crime doc that finally pays tribute to the the victims of a killer instead of trying to humanize the monster within. Maybe about 20 minutes of the full five episodes focuses on the feminist movement and honestly it's an important part to the narrative of the victims. Don't let the nay-sayers sway you away - this is the best Bundy doc I've watched and one of the best true crime docs overall.
Wow. His ex girlfriends position through it all was crazy. To think she knew for months he was a killer and the police just blew her off several times. All those lives that could have been saved. Well done documentary.
The documentary was something else. From the brand new interviews to unseen photos to new crime details. Elizabeth "Liz" Kendall and her daughter, Molly Kendall, were simply remarkable and brave to finally share their stories. They have been laying low for almost 40 years and have not talked about Ted Bundy not even once. They have respected the victims and families but it was their time to share their story and I was so glad they did. I can't even imagine what they have gone through, they were the ones that lived. They were so professional and soft spoken through this entire documentary. It gave the viewer a complete different view on Ted Bundy. Thank you for your brave voices to all the brand new interviewers that came forward for this documentary. The music choice and open intro was right on the money too. It set the scene and I couldn't help but binge-watch every single episode the day the documentary came out. Thank you again for such a wonderful documentary.
