You know 20 min in that they unnecessarily dragged this out for length. The method of story telling is not done well and they honestly make this story uninteresting. I agree with all the reviews stating the editing is terrible and has no flow whatsoever.

It was long drawn and it got boring going nowhere. It seems like a story that could be told much faster. But I won't even read about it on Wikipedia.

What's most pathetic is the constant disregard for Billy's countless victims- from his siblings, to 'friends', to doctors, etc., absolutely no one outside of law enforcement bring themselves to mention the victims who suffered mightily due to their collaborative and gross ignorance. Multiple personalities or not, due to the ineptitude of countless doctors, this absolute abomination brutally murdered and raped people and his sister cannot even be bothered to recognize whether or not one of his innumerable victim had ever been found. His 'friend' who drove him to Colorado should have faced charges and this nonsense of multiple personality disorder was used by this horrific person to escape countless counts of serious crimes and face actual punishment. Along with ridiculous and scattered editing and this was almost impossible to watch without nausea medication.

I could only stand watching this for ten minutes or so. Perhaps there's an interesting story in this documentary, I will never know. Then again, judging from the first ten minutes alone, this documentary seems fragmented and poorly structured, jumping all over the place. The annoying cinematography (ooh Dutch angles and going crazy with Lumetri Color is so rad, man!) of the reconstructions was only surpassed by the idiocy of the editing, which must have been done by an intern after a long night bumping rails. I don't know why I'm so surprised considering that this flaming pile of garbage is made by a hack director with the ridiculous name "Megaton" who, unbelievably, has made a career out of churning out garbage.

What a mess. As my boyfriend and I were watching we kept thinking (especially regarding the interviews): "What's up with these old, awful-looking buildings set up as backdrops?!", "What's up with these French psychologists that seem to have NOTHING to do with this specific case (and are speaking French no less while everyone else is speaking English?!) and lastly... "If Netflix is going to make another docu-series that could have been an hour and a half long documentary... they could have more background on the victims (and the victims families) and THEIR stories." (Perhaps the victims/families wanted no part in this documentary... which I would understand.) I would also like to mention my boyfriend fell asleep before the end of the first episode, which says something considering he's the type that LOVES true crime stories. I do too... so I kept watching... but tbh I had a hard time staying awake as well. While the story itself is very interesting... the HORRIBLE editing and bad direction lost me... SO MANY REPETITIVE SCENES. Like, we get it!!! One of the worst editing with regards to a documentary on Netflix to date (IMHO). HOWEVER... To the family members involved in this... for giving their time and testimony... I thank you so much... because you provided a lot of insight.

I've only seen the first episode and would have turned it off but it was so bad I had to continue. The interviews are over lit, overexposed and the skin tones are unflattering. The director is at least consistent in the style of making his subjects head blend into the background or placing them in front of a window that the sun is shining through. The woman in the bank vault was top lit making her look like her eyes were removed from her face. I bet she is pumped about this. Also, what are these locations and the framing? I have a great idea, let's put a journalist in a tight hallway of a jail for no reason! There is one interview with a guy in what appears to be a restaurant where I saw them use 4 different colors of light: green, blue, yellow and magenta. It's like they found a grip truck that had been robbed and stripped for parts and just used what they had leftover. But seriously every shot is overexposed and over saturated to the point where people either look dead or like they have jaundice. As for the editing, I had to look away as I was getting nauseous from all of the cuts, zooms, shakes, focus pulls and flares. We get it. You have a few tricks and you like to use them all at once. I couldn't even pay attention to the story due to the visual onslaught of disjointed effect heavy trash. All I took away from the story is that this Billy guy had a few personalities so they decided to interview a bunch of older folks in randomly chosen locations that make no sense. That's about all I got from the first episode. If you like watching train wrecks, you'll love this. Honestly couldn't find a single shot that wasn't dreadfully amateur. Even the B roll was bad. The best footage in this was from the 1970's and heavily deteriorated.
