Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
natepritchard78 I highly recommend this series. I didnt watch it until it completed. I couldn't stop watching. Each episode got me more and more invested. Hopefully it gets picked up for another season.
MansoorH This series is maybe one of the greatest Netflix has made to date. It's stunning and shocking. And to be fair, you get sympathy with Ted Kaczynski. He is in a world where he does not belong. He's a man that do not function in the society in which he lives. He believed that the society at one point will cease to exist if it doesn't stop it's industrialize.You will come to see that Ted wasn't that crazy after all.
mycannonball This was a great mini-series! It's a fascinating inside look at the investigation into the Unabomber case and how the investigators used groundbreaking new methods to figure out who was sending mail bombs. It also focuses on the unraveling of Sam Worthington's character's personal life as he becomes so obsessed with the case that he neglects his family. It demonstrates how difficult the balance would be between a job like that and a personal life. Paul Bettany is also great at Ted "The Unabomober" Kaczynski. I enjoyed the scenes with his family and his own seclusion, as it was very revealing into the mind of this man.
hurshjoshi-13332 The parallels between the Fitzgerald and Kaczynski are one of the many narratives that make this such an enthralling watch. In many ways the similarities between the two, and the inner beast that lurks inside this reviewer (and I suspect a growing number of people who have ever found themselves disenchanted) might be what separates those that find this show thrilling and those that simply don't understand its subtle but growing hype.The truth is that many of us have dark thoughts, feel the pain of loneliness, or feel the desire to watch the world burn at times, but faced with the prospect very few want to see it in actuality because it would be against our primal instincts to burn that which we are connected to. It is that which makes Ted Kaczynski such a fascinating case study, and in turn gives this show the underlying steel to go with it obviously engrossing source material. His total detachment from the world despite having so much to offer from an intellectual capacity, in itself is a tragic tale. However instead of travelling down the obvious narrative of the white knights riding in to catch the bad guy, this show gives real insight into how someone could fall so far, and how far reaching the consequences can be. Was he a snowflake? Or does what he did, make him a snowflake in his eyes?When we were young, we were all snowflakes, and as the world later teaches us, if we are all snowflakes, none of us are. Of course what he did was ultimately evil, but the journey through his mind, and also the comparisons between how close the average man (Fitzgerald) can get to connecting with that world view offer a startling insight into where the world is at this moment in time.In addition, special mention has to go to the wonderful casting, and the wonderful performances by Paul Bettany and Sam Worthington. One has to wonder the depths of method acting Paul Bettany must have gone to, to steal every second he is on screen.
