These Ted Bundy files on Netflix are ****ed.
His personality is truly fascinating.These Ted Bundy files on Netflix are ****ed.
So, so f***ed up. Beyond fascinating, I can't even comprehend it. Almost like a comic book villain.His personality is truly fascinating.
And might I add, you can really see where Thomas Harris got his inspiration.
I was watching the escape episode today and the start of the next one, and I had this exact thought. I love watching how every few minutes there's a giant sociopath red flag in the way he talks about things.Which if he knew that, would ****ing love it.
Kinda. And I suppose they eventually get to the gross part. But if you're not already interested, I don't know man.Watched episode 1 of Bundy.
Kinda boring.
Does it get better?

You live up to your occupation Bubba.I watched it all.
Not that great, IMO.
I learned nothing new about him.
The whole Bundy saga is weird when you go through it. Putting my tin foil hat on... I think he almost wanted to be caught, persecuted and talked about to the point where I think he sabotaged himself a few times. The cases against him were not all that strong, but his insistence on representing himself and arrogance that he showed the whole time just made him very easy to convict. Hell, forcing a crime scene witness to recount the murders on the stand as your own defense attorney is just so mind blowingly stupid that it had to be intentional. A sort of 'describe what I did in vivid detail so everybody remembers forever.'
Serial killers are the absolute peak of outward signs of psychopathy. It's crazy how they talk about themselves and their 'achievements'. And at that point, what could you possibly do in court. But the BTK killer resurrected a cold case and got himself caught before killing again. So there's that. Also, these guys always seem to keep pushing to get caught and then get caught in like a traffic stop for a taillight.The whole Bundy saga is weird when you go through it.

Yeah he definitely seemed to sabotage himself when he was representing himself and make it a huge spectacle to draw all the attention to himself. His whole life as a serial killer truly did kinda play out like a move and the fact that he totally could’ve gotten away with it is even crazier.

If he had let the kidnapping sentence play out and let the courts go through the Colorado case... I think he actually could have gotten away with it. Hell, even in Florida they ended up relying on teeth marks which is pretty much bunk science in today's courts (though I think we all know DNA would have eventually found him guilty).
Wondering if the Wichita boy @RockLobster has anything to add to this.But the BTK killer resurrected a cold case and got himself caught before killing again. So there's that.

You say this as a (semi ) sane person though. I don't think he necessarily wanted to get caught, he broke out multiple times because he missed his freedom. He just got so caught up in it that he didn't even really realize the severity of what he was doing and it took priority over everything. I think part of it was he just enjoyed the sport of it. Killing, escaping, evading escape, representing himself, stroking that "I'm smarter than everybody" ego.
I can't see there being another Ted Bundy again, not in this technology world. Or at least not as a 1 man wrecking crew like he was.
