Such a unique concept! In my opinion, the trite archetypes played out in true crime have been completely exhausted and now lack originality or creativity. This show, on the other hand, offers a fresh take by inviting the audience into the mind of a serial killer. All lovers of psychology and criminology will absolute love it! Definitely recommend and cannot wait for the rest of the episodes to air.

To me, the extensive negative reviews on this docuseries only further prove the truth in its message. And the truth hurts. This is NOT about hating white people, it is about the fact that white people have never collectively admitted how much they have benefitted from America's history of white supremacy. For many, it is very uncomfortable to be told without any sugar-coating that you are the problem. We are not in a post-racial society - this is evident when you look at poverty distribution, the amount of minorities in many elite professions, and disaggregated health outcomes/life expectancy. Saying "let's all be united not divided" is the equivalent of telling a depressed person "Just be happy! Life is good!" It ignores and minimizes the experience of suffering. We can all unite in harmony when we collectively heal from our past. Racism has hurt white people too. I am a white person and I do not hate myself, but I do find it important to sit with my uncomfortability, seek to understand the hardships of others, and evaluate my role in systems of oppression. Improvement happens when you see something for what it really is, even when it's ugly. I implore people to watch this without taking it personally and using it as an opportunity to learn and reflect. Yes, white people may be the problem, but also may be the solution - don't be offended, be empowered.
