Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This excellent archival and investigative work, which is not as genre-creating and revolutionary as the first series of Making a Murderer, is rather based on the research and life work of others. But that doesn't diminish the detail and insight into Bundy's life and the contemporary context of his tenure, trial, and ultimately his stay in the Florida death cell. Ted Bundy is a magnetizing personality, a potentially successful politician who has become the most feared serial killer due to an interplay of psychological factors. For fans of psycho-detective Mindhunter, this is an obligation, also because Bundy was one of the essential factors in the emerging criminal discipline at the time. Cold, uncomfortable and, pardon my words... toxic. (01/26/2019)
