1.0

Unbelievably distasteful production by a self-obsessed and self-serving Jillian Lauren. In Ep 2 she actually says "I'm his ultimate victim" in relation to how hard it was on her to interview him about WOMEN HE KILLED. She says "we" when speaking of his victims regularly. I really hope no victim family members were subject to this abominable insult of a so-called documentary. This is a serious topic that didn't deserve such a vapid and insipid treatment. Utterly disgusting and tasteless. We get to see her in boxing class while she talks about "the emotional toll" it's taken on her. We get to hear about her drug use, her eating disorder, her mental health (or lack there of). All this victim-porn/self-aggrandizing is interspersed with snippets of interviews with Sam Little, victim's family, or survivors to provide the thinnest of veneers that this is a legitimate production. Astonishingly tasteless.
