I Am a Killer

I skipped over it many times because why would I want to hear from death row inmates? But its now my current favorite show. Very well made with equal time given to each side of the story so that the viewers fully understand what happened. This isn't a show about some liar criminal pleading innocence in the face of evidence proving guilt, they know they are guilty - its often the full story that wasn't told or isn't widely known that will pull you in and that makes it such a good show. As someone else said and I will agree with, prepare for a roller coaster of emotions - and yes, you'll likely shed tears more than a few times.

I've been watching this series lately, some of the people you feel sorry for. Most of them forget what they've said, then try to change it around. As for the crying only one had real tears. The others were just making sobbing and sniffling sounds. How can you grin when talking about killing someone? No pity.

I really like the concept of talking to death row inmates, but the editing is annoying and frustrating. Why am I watching paint dry up-close, a girl pressing broccoli on the register, coffee being poured, flags, birds, water, snow e.t.c It made me wanna smash the tv and keep fast forwarding.

A great binge-worthy show that discusses the motives and circumstances behind selected death-sentence cases. Some reviewers seem angry because "nobody should be interested in a killer's side of the story; they're killers" but I think that's where they're wrong. In almost every episode this documentary tells the story behind both sides of the party, the prosecution and the killer, and leaves the viewer to make up his own mind about the case and the punishement.

You will not get bored.

This show provides a humbling insight into what makes a killer, and how their actions have impacted themselves and others. It's an eye opener into how easy it is to look at people who have committed horrific crimes and label them monsters, but in almost every case they have suffered in horrible ways as children, often abused by those closest to them and denied the love and nurture a child needs, and are products of their environments.
