    Long and could've been done in 1/2 hour

    Good story on bad guy but takes far too long to tell what is a very short story. Way too much time with useless background and tidbits that we really have no interest in

    What a creep!

    This guy has gotten away with so much for so long. I can't wait to see episode 4 when it comes out on Stan next week! It's pretty gripping, I'm enjoying how everything is happening in real time. These women wanting revenge are great.

    Get him girls!!

    A rare doc series in which the perpetrator is stalked, filmed live .... AND gives an interview! Lots of interviews from interesting women amazingly willing to tell their story. You can hear the producers' voices at times being honest and it's a pretty cool reveal of braving the delicate layers of people's private lives. Starts out slow and has some creative coverage in places where they had to cover audio and didn't have picture etc. Picks up in Ep 2 and definitely by 3. Editing is fantastic giving suspense and with the treatment of interviews showing personality. Graphics beautifully intertwine character from old photos. And best of all a lesson for everyone about con artists!

    There is a fascinating story buried in there...

    Good story, but I truly can't deal with this editing and pacing. The animation. Why??? Stretching this out into multiple parts has not helped. I just finished episode two, don't think I can deal with more. Will find the story online, not have to put up with this fantastical show anymore.

    What a story!

    Poorly produced, but WHAT A STORY! This guy is a serious sociopath, and has absolutely no morals.

    These poor women who just wanted love and he took them and others for everything they own.
