Over hyped and popular because of kitsch, not because it’s good.

I don’t understand the praise. Unlikeable characters, mediocre acting, and predictable monologue.

There was no sense of time in the movie. He never once grew any facial hair and there was little else to measure just how much time had past. Something so simple completely destroyed the movie for me, distracting me from the somewhat well-executed storyline. The emotional impact that should’ve been at the end, never came to fruition as it should’ve.

Last twenty minutes were great

The show started off decent and the pace was good up until the last five episodes. Writers today are either forced, coerced, or voluntarily shoving identity politics into everything. This is no different. The real story had nothing to do with white supremacy, blatant racism, or exploits of minorities. It was just a psychopath living in squalor and gathering victims based upon who he met- not anything else. One disturbing police incident questions the competence and character of the officers involved, but not in the way the writers obviously want to lead its audience to believe. The second half drags to no end and each of the final five episodes fabricates fictional storylines for some of the victim’s families and also dives into Jeffrey’s family’s aftermath. It’s so obvious that the writers want us to connect deeply to the victims involved, however knowing it’s all fictional and doesn’t add anything to the real storyline, it falls flat and you find yourself fast forwarding through most of the final episodes. They needed to consolidate the series perhaps into six episodes, taking out the fictional victim’s stories and just stick to what actually happened. The truth is plenty to deal with and actually more impactful than begging the viewers to “feel” for the victims and latch onto the underlying identity politics it was force-feeding. I give this a two only because the first half was loyal to what actually happened and had much better pacing.

Those giving rave reviews must have been recruited and incentivized to do so. It’s awful. It’s confusing, dark (like literally), and pretentious. The viewer is expected to just “get it”, and even if the viewer does happen to “get it”, it still is awful. The execution, writing, and overall production is a boring waste of time. Zero character development. If the writing is so bad that we can’t even care about the characters, what’s the point?

Despised the husband from the beginning, but you learn why.
