Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer

An absolutely extraordinary true crime doc that finally pays tribute to the the victims of a killer instead of trying to humanize the monster within. Maybe about 20 minutes of the full five episodes focuses on the feminist movement and honestly it's an important part to the narrative of the victims. Don't let the nay-sayers sway you away - this is the best Bundy doc I've watched and one of the best true crime docs overall.

I've watched countless serial killer documentaries, and read countless books, and *this* is how it should be done. Bundy is the story, but he is not the narrative. Rather, he is the common thread that unites the testimonies of victims, survivors, and their families, and it is they who are at the forefront, telling us their experiences in their own words. It's heartbreaking, and compelling, and absolutely top-notch film-making.

I don't know why anyone would give this series a low rating. It's remarkable, the intelligence, insights, and self-examination that the victims reveal, especiall the woman and her daughter who were his "family" partners. The daughter is the winner.

True, the story revolved around Bundy and the wrath he wrought upon women over 50 years ago in the States.

Flippant or not, the real story to me was about the dignity, sorrow and resurrection of the women Bundy imposed himself upon.

When you look at how the men in this series faired, compared to the women that suffered unimaginable horror in their lives as compared to the men...well, I look up to the heavens and thank God for the gift that he gave us:

Women.

So much stronger than we men and resolute.

There are rare times you take stock of life from entertainment, this was one of those times for me and a reminder of the blessings that women bring to life.

As for Bundy, he got what was coming to him other than, his ending was too swift for my liking. More agony and pain, prolonged, would have made me happy - see that smug, self-important, above it all smile of his wiped clean from his face slowly and deliberately. Unforgivable what he did, an animal has more compassion than he.

Lastly, thank you Amazon Prime for letting me see the worst and best of humanity. Sobering to say the very least.

Some harp on feminist messaging. I didn't see that at all. How could you not get women's perspective when 100% of this serial perp's victims were female? Bundy personified evil. Beyond sick, the devil if there is one. I've been around sick, evil before so I'm kind of fascinated by it's aspects and impacts. I highly recommend this. Very well done.
