A little bit stretched out but an interesting story to watch
Some people really need attention or something.
It’s a pity those victims will never get justice. All the same, I do think this is the best form of a life Henry Lee Lucas would’ve ever had
Very interesting, engaging, and often frustrating. Probably could have done without the countless closeups on his yellow teeth though.
The clowny sheriff is the best part. Couple this with Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer.
Started out interesting, then kind of lost traction as it continued. Still, short enough and intriguing enough to finish.
Very interesting. I love watching true crime shows and documentaries so I enjoyed this.
Certainly an interesting documentary and insight in an unusual case, but can be a bit drawn out with the episodes lengths
Chapters are a bit too long and repetitive, but the story is completely ludicrous and interesting. People are capable of anything really.
I never knew how much of a law enforcement debacle surrounded this case. I highly recommend it to anyone who is not usually into crime docs.
