Absolute A++ of a second season. The back story behind this "Doctor" has had a few documentaries recently on Netflix and "The Con" on ABC, respectively. Both documentaries are well worth the watch prior to watching this.

But to go even further, listening to the ORIGINAL Dr. Death podcast when it first came out, with the beginning story of Christopher Dunsch, made my jaw drop and text everyone I know.

Allow me to say though that the first season was just OK, and didn't grip me like the podcast did. Same unbelievable story told well... with well-known actors playing their respective roles and they did a great job. BUT... THIS second season, however... ALL of the actors played their respective roles VERY well - and the dialogue is SO well written that it just grips you from the beginning to the end of each perfectly paced episode.

Spoiler alert... but the scene when Benita was in the car in Barcelona (when she was watching Paolo out front, in his yard... with his daughter and WIFE... when he said he was in Russia... and filmed him!) took this to the stratosphere when the writers decided that Benita actually went INSIDE the house. INCREDIBLE WRITING. In the show... she actually goes INSIDE the house and sees Paolo with his daughter and wife... goodness gracious I can't even imagine either scenario. God bless Benita and her daughter... OMG.

What really got me though... were the scenes with the victims. Completely heart-wrenching. Devastating, really. You can see how evil this guy was with his sociopathic behavior and narcissism.

Just like "Dr." Dunsch... I feel for everyone involved for having even met these ultimately evil human beings.

Soundtrack is excellent too... all in all, this is a MUST watch. Take care everyone!!!

This is the most perfect movie I've ever seen.

And here are my reasons:

1) Impeccable storyline. Written to screenplay from the book flawlessly. If you REALLY pay attention to every scene (and for some it may take a few times to watch to "get it") then you'll fully grasp everything to make sure that everything makes sense and is followed up to a satisfying conclusion (and I'm referring to the "Final Cut" here). It's truly genius and WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME.

2) The haunting and iconic score by Vangelis is some of the best work done with a movie I've heard since John Williams or Danny Elfman (who came a bit later). You wanna talk about "nailed it"?! He NAILED. IT.

3) The futuristic dystopian set design is so detailed that, even if it was supposed to be set in 2019 LA, has nothing to do with the weather. We're meant to explore a deeper world on the "inside"... whatever that means to you.

4) We see a lot of familiar faces here but this was when a lot of the actors were still putting themselves on the map... and they absolutely succeeded.

5) The dialogue is UNBELIEVABLE. And I mean that in the absolute BEST way. You are left with the perfect amount of hope and emptiness at the same time which is EXACTLY what Blade Runner was aiming for, I believe. Either way? Hats off.

"The light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long"... omg my jaw hit the floor with that one.

Netflix picked up "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" recently and I could not control my excitement. This movie came out before I was even born and as I watch it to this day it still blows everything else out of the water that I've seen so far in terms of slow-burn, sci-fi, neo-noir... it's just absolute brilliance on screen from start to finish.

Oh and btw - at about an hour and six minutes in while Deckard is looking back at Racheal, notice his eyes. He's definitely a replicant and if he's not... WOW. Way to leave imagination up in the air. I truly love it.

Any time I ever return home from a long trip as well I always yell that special line in my head: "Home again, Home again... Jiggity Jig"

Another great and if not perhaps the best line of all: "It's too bad she won't live... but then again, who does"...

Without question: 10/10.

What a mess. As my boyfriend and I were watching we kept thinking (especially regarding the interviews): "What's up with these old, awful-looking buildings set up as backdrops?!", "What's up with these French psychologists that seem to have NOTHING to do with this specific case (and are speaking French no less while everyone else is speaking English?!) and lastly... "If Netflix is going to make another docu-series that could have been an hour and a half long documentary... they could have more background on the victims (and the victims families) and THEIR stories." (Perhaps the victims/families wanted no part in this documentary... which I would understand.)

I would also like to mention my boyfriend fell asleep before the end of the first episode, which says something considering he's the type that LOVES true crime stories. I do too... so I kept watching... but tbh I had a hard time staying awake as well.

While the story itself is very interesting... the HORRIBLE editing and bad direction lost me... SO MANY REPETITIVE SCENES. Like, we get it!!!

One of the worst editing with regards to a documentary on Netflix to date (IMHO).

HOWEVER...

To the family members involved in this... for giving their time and testimony... I thank you so much... because you provided a lot of insight.

I love reno shows, but I've never seen anything like this. Was this satire? I felt like these ladies were making fun of people that actually do this for a living. I have no idea how they got to do what they did without having some type of cushion. Literally everything; the Urban Outfitters catalog finished look of the motel, the blatant disregard for the town that you're apparently supporting, and then... Omg... the vocal fry. I tried, I really did. The only thing that carried me was Rick and his team and hopefully seeing the barista come back and punch Sarah square in the face.

I wasn't even drinking watching (which I should have) but they were drinking so much Rose and commenting about it that I was about to throw up myself.

3 stars at least for giving me a good laugh.
