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. Some critics argue it overemphasizes feminist themes, detracting from the crime narrative. Many appreciate its historical and sociological insights, emotional depth, powerful interviews, and the bravery of those sharing their stories.

Some harp on feminist messaging. I didn't see that at all. How could you not get women's perspective when 100% of this serial perp's victims were female? Bundy personified evil.
Beyond sick, the devil if there is one. I've been around sick, evil before so I'm kind of fascinated by it's aspects and impacts. I highly recommend this. Very well done.
I've watched countless serial killer documentaries, and read countless books, and *this* is how it should be done. Bundy is the story, but he is not the narrative. Rather, he is the common thread that unites the testimonies of victims, survivors, and their families, and it is they who are at the forefront, telling us their experiences in their own words. It's heartbreaking, and compelling, and absolutely top-notch film-making.
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.
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.
