Does anyone watch the "Most Evil" programs on cable?

[Lil Missy]

I find them fascinating. This forensic scientist rates criminals on a scale from 1 to 22 on the scale of evil, depending on the circumstances of the crime, past history, possible mental illness, and childhood experiences.

Sometimes it makes me a bit nauseous and sick, and perhaps like the phenomenon of slowing down to see a car or train wreck while driving.

What really strikes me is that sometimes parents can create a monster, with enough emotional and physical abuse. There is often such a history behind every evil criminal.

Although, not always...

1. Doesn't anyone else watch these programs on cable?

I'm disappointed at the lack of response. :cry:

2. I do

they are pretty intense...

[Lil Missy]

4. Yes, some of them do get pretty intense.

I am just fascinated as some of the differences with the level of evil he assigns.

Some are made into monsters because of the abuse and/or humiliation they endured as children. Others, like Ted Bundy for example, had relatively good upbringings and supportive role models, and still turn into monsters.

It really exhausts and depresses me to some degree to watch or hear about evil shit like that. I can barely stand to hear about an animal being abused or hurted. Makes me too sick.

8. Yeah, Bundy is a particularly disturbing case, not just because of what he did, but also the fact

that #1, he apparently suffered no significant abuse growing up, and #2, he exhibited psychopathic behavior from the time he was a toddler - supposedly he arranged knives around his aunt's bed as a mere three-year-old.

9. I also felt some sympathy for Dahmer.

And I'm not sure why, because even though there was animosity between his parents and an eventual divorce, it didn't seem like much more that many of us go through.

He was always a major curiosity for me. :shrug:

3. I watched the whole series and was pretty disappointed.

The worst offenders were shoved into the last couple of minutes of each documentary, while an inordiate amount of time was spent discussing lesser (or in some cases, minor) figures. I would have preferred a format in which the "Most Evil" was discussed more in depth.

But I'm pretty jaded about murderer documentaries. :hi:

5. Hi back, Fenris!

:hi:

I guess I haven't been paying as much attention as you have. You feel the program starts with the lessor figures, and then ends with the hard cores? I'll pay more attention for that from now on.

Do you mind my asking - why are you jaded about murder documentaries?

[Fenris]

6. I think it's probably because I've seen too many of them.

:D

:hi:
