Thats what the intro to every episode says is the point of series.. to help explain how he got away with everything for so long.
But it doesn't, i don't think it showed why anyone liked him, or hated him to be fair, he was just a bit of a sleeze that was commiting these horrific assaults and was just lucky enough to get away with it.
The points of his status, slight charisma, and connections are there, but really take a back seat to the fact he was lucky.
Maybe that was a point the show was trying to make, he wasn't clever, charismatic, or anything, he was just a weirdo that somehow lucked out not only avoiding being found out but to get anywhere near the fame he did.
Steve Coogan will get the plaudits, and fair enough, though i think someone younger should have played him in the 60s...
Overall nothing new being said, just a dramatised portrayal of the guy.
