Monique Olivier: Accessory to Evil

Of course this person is just as culpable as the rapist! She aided, abetted and even helped him become erect. Ugh. Wish I didn't know THAT.

This docuseries was far, FAR longer than necessary. In fact, if not for being dubbed, I'd have never made it through one episode. Six hours of reading subtitles was NOT going to happen.

If it isn't bad enough to know about all these innocent girls losing their lives but these evil creatures having a child in the midst of this!

After watching only half of this I need five steam showers and six appointments with my therapist.

No port for the wife, not at all.

The audio had English spoken over French spoken which added nothing to the documentary and was extremely annoying. If not for this it would have been much easier to watch. I would like to know why the film makers did that. It had the effect of sounding like a lot of loud background interference. I just coul not get really engaged because of this. It is a shame because I've not heard of this person before and would have liked to find out more. As of now I'm just watching until I can longer endure the noise pollution of spoken French background noise. I am a fan of true crime this is the first time I have not been able to finish a true crime film.

It is difficult to understand two languages that are spoken simultaneously. It would have been 'listenable' if the translated language was louder than the primary or the original language. But having both languages competing for your attention is almost impossible to follow. I do believe it is possible to easily remedy this so that we can follow the series as currently it is difficult to do so. I know there is an option to watch the series in French with subtitles but I'm not a fan of subtitles whilst watching engaging films or series, so, it would be prudent if Netflix could sort out the audio issues.

It has its ups and downs, but overall it's a well made documentary. I do have to say that it's a hard watch because the case is disturbing. And by that I mean really disturbing. It involves such young children (youngest being 9) and the details that are shared are sickening.

I genuinely feel like I wasn't prepared for this experience, cause the way they made this, with the police pictures of Olivier reenacting what happened and how it happened, made me feel like being there in a way, actively watching them commit their crimes. It's disturbing.

No true crime documentary has gotten to me this way before.

And for the people giving this below 5 stars for it being English dubbed, just keep the French and use subtitles. Do you never watch anything other than your own language?..

This review is not about the case nor should it be. It's about the trivial format of the docuseries. Rehashed ideas now in French. The viewer needs to hear every aspect of the case so you bring in psychology experts who mock the woman and her appearance and mimick her behavior as kids. Then you bring in her lawyer who someone thought "hey let's have a scene of him running with his tights and earphones and next scene smoking outside of court so viewers know he means business". Should have been 1 episode, the rest is taunting the victims for more screen time.

P. S. People who complain about the voice over instead of watching it with subs should have the right of voting revoked from them, I mean come on humanity.
