A painful watch.
After the success of Murder in a Courtroom, The Indian Predator series returns fairly quickly, with this, Beast of Bangalore, a sadistic rapist and killer that terrorised women for several years.
I really enjoyed the previous series, this one however was poor in contrast, a totally disappointing contrast. The three episodes could genuinely have been condensed down into an hour long production, this was painfully stretched out.
We actually learn very, very little Bout Umesh Reddy, his motivation, background, we just really get opinions of how his crimes affected society, it's too narrow.
I don't mean to knock the story, it's fascinating, but the way it's told here, is very poor, crimes against women, however no women are interviewed in the first two episodes, so we only get the viewpoint of the men involved in the case, there is no mention of the victims, just sketchy information about the actual miscreant.
Only episode three offers any significant input, but it really is such a dreary, lifeless production, it's guilty of the worst thing, it's boring, I couldn't binge watch it, I had to take regular breaks, as concentrating on it was hard work.
One of the worst Netflix documentary series to date, 3/10.
