Evil Genius

I was just shocked by this documentary. The fact this actually happened, and these people exist blows my mind.

My thoughts? Whoa, just whoa.

Very interesting story to follow. Different than Making a Murderer or the Staircase, this answers a lot of the questions that you have at first. I did find it a bit shocking that [spoiler] you actually see the footage of the bomb exploding and the frozen body, I didn't quite expect it to be so graphic, could do with a warning since it's real life and not fiction. It took me completely off guard. [/spoiler].

Good documentary, but it could have been done in 2 episodes or so.Anyway, interesting show. Twisted people, twisted people everywhere.

Interesting documentary...but did it really have to show the poor guy getting blown up. I personally believe Brian Wells was just indeed an innocent pizza guy and forced into the bank robbery by those criminal masterminds.

_Evil Genius_ is a fascinating show that explores one of the most bizarre and disturbing criminal cases in recent history. The show's narrative is gripping, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. The characters involved in the case are complex and intriguing, and the interviews with those who knew them add a layer of depth to the storytelling. The show's pacing is excellent, and each episode leaves you with more questions than answers.

Just a content warning for people like me who didn't know the details of this crime before watching: the first episode features explicit footage of a gruesome real life death. There is no cut-away and it isn't a recreation, but actual footage that shows someone dying terribly in real life. It would have been nice to know this in advance so I could have at least looked away. It's ethically extremely dubious to show footage of someone's final terrible moments for entertainment like this and of course also potentially deeply disturbing. Anyways, having only seen 1 episode so far, that is all I have to say at this point. Be warned. A less exploitative documentary would have cut away, this one does NOT.

Not much of detective work in this. pretty much witnesses / suspects trying to frame each other.

Lots of evil, not as much genius as acute megalomania. This documentary is a thorough (almost to the point of being tedious) examination of the personalities and circumstances surrounding a peculiar crime. I found myself unsettled by the narrow divide between genius and psychopath. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. [True Crime Documentary] Warning: There is some very graphic police footage of a person being blown up.

Netflix 4 parter produced by the Duplass brothers. Very intriguing.

Absolutely nuts, but great tv. The story starts with the tale of a pizza man who robs a bank with a bomb around his neck -- and gets weirder from there.'
