My Lover, My Killer

I found the people who were interviewed were either biased or prejudiced.

Now i only watched the first two episodes but this is the first show in at least two years that have me mad!

The first was told like the directer was a supporter of the taleban. No understanding that the woman was forced to mary. & he could have let her go with dignity for both of them, but he did not.

The seconded episode was just as bad, but it was just a western way of trying to own a woman!

I don't want to watch anymore because no person should hear people blame a woman for trying to get out of a relationship. If you sham her for religion or force her to stay because you have given money to her. You need to get your head checked because that is evil & it is more pathetic, sad & evil & may I mention again pathetic!

The cases themselves are fairly interesting, given a very detailed build-up to the eventual murder so you can really get a feel for the people involved and the narrator does a good job of tying everything together but there often lacks detail of how the actual event transpired (understandable as only the killer knows what happened in each case but it sort of glosses over it in some cases, just simply a they killed them and that's it).

There are other issues which lead me to give this a middle of the road rating. Firstly it can be quite repetitive, often repeating quotes or rehashing the story (presumably because it was made for advert breaks and there aren't any on netflix) and the portrayal of the killer/victim seems very biased and one sided. Always describing the victim as innocent and the killer as out of control or psychopathic which may be the case but no way as black and white as this documentary implies.

The interviews are painful to watch, filled with useless information and one expert repeated himself continously just rephrasing his sentence over and over. Badly edited and put together what could be put in a 25min to 30min episode is dragged out with useless information while concluding information is just brushed over and ignored. This applies to all the episodes.

Now ive only seen the first 2 episodes of season 2,m.

The first was decent, but the family/friends/prosecutors are very repetitive and don't do a great job of making you understand the people/places/situations in the least. Also i found this series to be very dry so far. Yay the second episode i found to be ridiculous i had to button down and force myself through the episode. The guy is just as bad as the girl. He is a drinker and a drug user.. from where i'm sitting they are the same.. i understand she did some bad stuff at the end, but seriously this isn't the type of murder you show case and act like he was an angel just caught in a bad cycle. So was she. It's just not a good look the way they are beating how much she drank into the ground and acting like she's trash when he was doing the same EXACT thing. Also she can get an abortion if she wants and she should have seeing as how she couldn't support another child with how her life was going and neither could he. He didn't even have any custody with his child what does that say about him. The uk stuck in the dark ages if they look at single moms wrong but single ESTRANGED fathers like it's not their fault.

I can't watch anymore, i like myself too much. Just no, no- absolutely not.

A very dry look at six cases of murder, where the victim was murdered by someone that supposedly loved them.

I found the crimes themselves very interesting, some really powerful interviews with family members and loved ones.....and some interviews by so called experts, some of them are interesting, one of them however is dismal, the most interesting episode, is the one about Peter Morgan, it is spoiled by an incredibly biased so called expert.

It's very dry, compare this to an American series, and it may seem a little reserved, perhaps less dynamically produced, definitely less by way of sensationalism, maybe not quite so entertaining.

I found some of the stories so sad, but intriguing to watch.

I would say that if more are planned, there needs to be greater impartiality by the experts.

Watchable, 7/10.
