It's tough to watch but very interesting. Basically Malvo sort of narrating from prison, looking back on the early killings and how he was raised.

Just watched ep 1. The saddest one was the Asian lady killed by the sick fricks in Baton Rouge.

Ep 1 was great. I had no idea some of the details especially how Muhammed and Malvo initially met. Crazy random.

When they are describing Malvo's upbringing as a child, I found myself feeling sad for him. Then 20 seconds later he describes how he methodically kills random people and you're like "rot in hell dude"

What nights? And how many parts/episodes does it have? I may have to set the DVR to record this.

Finished the first episode. So far, very well done. Heartbreaking when they interview the families of the victims. Random violence is terrifying and so very sad.

I am very interested to see if they will get to what propelled John Muhammad to this point. By all accounts he was a good father- was well liked in the Army and had friends who cared for him. And then bam he snapped.

From the title I thought they made Stephen Hunter's book, I,Sniper (Bob Lee Swagger) into a movie... Which I would have loved.
But I'll definitely check out the documentary too.

Those home videos with his little kids are from the late 90s just a couple of years before their killing spree. Like Muhammed had a head injury or brain tumor that caused a significant change in behavior over a short period of time. Pretty crazy.

The parts with Malvo’s dad are gut wrenching

Episode 2 The Storm. Pretty chilling details when the DC area spree started.

I have been anticipating this series. First two episodes were great. Listening to Malvo's story about his childhood was rough. You could easily see how he could be turned into the monster that he became.

Not sure if the editing slants it, but Malvo sure seems like one cold motherfricker. With the advances in mental health since that time, I wonder if those aspects of this story will be touched on.

Watching Ep 4- Call me God. Interesting story from Malvo shooting the kid in front of the school and having the chief cry at the presser was wild. It looks like when the kid was shot was when the feds turnt up the heat.
