6/10
Interesting crime, perhaps not told in the best possible way.
21 July 2022
A three part series detailing the gruesome murders of Chandrakant Jha, The Butcher of Delhi.

I was really looking forward to this series, it really is a fascinating, gruesome case. A killer, who got away with his crimes for a long time.

Overall, it's a pretty satisfying watch, you learn about the killer, his motives, his loathing of The Police, and it's a great looking show, the re-enactments look pretty good.

It's worth watching to learn about the shocking crimes, definitely the stuff of nightmares.

However, it's a very frustrating watch, it's literally like trying to herd cats, as there are so many strands, so much information is delivered, but it jumps about in the most frustrating way, you will definitely need extra caffeine if you're planning to binge watch it, as it can be a little hard to keep up.

The running order for the series is maybe a little questionable, you get the crimes and learn who in episode one, then you get the backstory in parts two and three, I'm not fully sure that worked.

It's pretty good, but could have been so much better, 6/10.
