In my opinion, the only thing this docuseries is missing is adequate content warnings. Skip the next paragraph if you'd like to avoid spoilers. The subject matter is violent, raw and emotionally charged. The cinematography of the documentary is beautiful in its own right. As a viewer you get up close and personal with all the traumatic, heartbreaking and crushing details of how the killer's actions impacted the world around him. You are made to watch Jun Lin's best friend, Dong Dong Xu's face change as he describes what it was like seeing his friend's severed head. Online. In a snuff film. If you are an empathetic person like I am, you may find this difficult to watch. If you do not enjoy exercising the lengths of your empathy, and crying for the injustices done by others—for your sake—I would not recommend watching it. This documentary is deep. It is raw. It is emotionally jarring, and it pulls no punches. It forces you to contemplate what it means to consume the content, and has definitely left me with intense psychological questions I do not know how to answer.
