Netflix's documentary series about Ted Bundy serves the myth of the famous serial killer

Netflix is ​​part of the true crime genre since their presentation of Making a Murderer in 2015 and with the launch of their latest movie, Conversations with a Killer: Ted Bundy's Tapes, Streaming The Giant has brought back the famous killer in series in the conversation.

The four-part documentary series begins with tapes recorded by a journalist while Ted Bundy was on death row in Florida. For those who do not know, Bundy was a serial killer in the United States in the 1970s. He kidnapped, innocent and raped innocent women, leaving in most cases the body burned by wild animals. He was necrophilous and sometimes even saved the skulls of women he had killed as trophies. During a given period, Bundy has killed more than 30 women in six states, although it is said that the number of murders was close to 100.

In the documentary, two journalists meet and speak with the infamous murderer and even he does not do it. He confessed to the killings on those gangs and badyzed the killings from a third party point of view as to why a murderer would do so.

The series focuses on the physical appearance of Ted Bundy. We are told time and time again that Bundy was rather beautiful and had the charm of attracting young women. The events of his childhood are simply touched and it is constantly repeated that Bundy wanted to be part of the crowd, but what triggered his odious side is not even supposed here. It goes without saying that he was a disturbed man, but there is virtually no talk of the method to his madness.

The title suggests that recorded conversations would be the link that unites this series of true crimes, but this is not the case. We are shown interviews with church elders, detectives who worked on his case and how he managed to escape from prison on two occasions. A few of his childhood friends are also interviewed and everyone can think that he wanted to integrate but could not. We are also shown a lot of old pictures where people who have met him over the years talk about their experiences with him and, again, all we can hear, that is 39; is that he had normal air.

The most crucial part of these four hours The series comes in the last half hour that serves as a resolution, but even in this case, the documentary chooses to revel in the myth of Ted Bundy. He liked to put on a show and he continued to do the same until his death. When he was finally executed in 1989, there was a big rally outside the prison where people were chanting "Burn Bundy Burn".

Mindunter of Netflix, the fictional series that traces the journey of two FBI agents while "They were crisscrossing the country trying to profile serial killers, talking more about the conditions that had turned people into serial killers, but here we are left with the message that no-one could be a killer. Even at a time, even Bundy says the same thing.

Directed and created by Joe Berlinger, the series provides no new information about Ted Bundy or any of his cases. This is Bundy himself, who is trying to badyze why a serial killer would act in a certain way. In fact, in the end, he would even have helped the FBI profile the active serial killers during those years. The message of the series remains lost for the viewers because, even if it is about a documentary, it does not highlight any element of its badbadinations: the diagram, the selection of its victims, his desire to kill, his modus opearndi. For the most part, he only talks about Ted Bundy's physical appearance.
