I'm in a watch everything David Tennant spree. this was very interesting for sure and very disturbing. This made me think that like what qualifies as "insanity". Should I watch the Nilsen tapes?? Also why did he suddenly want to be caught just for the fame and recognition?? I love everything courtroom drama and Interrogating killers this was very cool. Overall my biggest takeaway is I REALLY LOVE DAVID TENNANT

the only thing i disliked about this is that it should have been a movie and not a mini series
