Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez (2020) Limited Series Review

Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez (2020) Limited Series Review 

 I am a huge sports fans but I have to admit I was unaware of the story of Aaron Hernandez so I was interested in this limited series which documents the journey from New England Patriots Tight End to convicted murderer. 

This review is different to usual as it is a documentary style show, all the people that are interviewed have really interesting stories to tell about Aaron Hernandez. The show psychoanalysises Hernandez and why exactly he would go from the point of top notch celebrity to wannabee Gangster, looking at his past involving his start in American Football shows the failing of that system and how CTE disease could have affected Hernandez.

The show also looks at how social factors such as his sexuality could have affected his mental state, during the show it shows Hernandez on the phone to loved ones while in prison and it is so distrubing. Seeing this guy act very calm and casual about possible being convicted by murder is chilling and makes you truly wonder what the mental state of this man was and had always been.

My only main criticism of the show is that it takes a bit to get going and it jumps over different time periods with some things being more interesting then others.

Overall, I don't want to say too much about this series as it is interesting to learn more and more about this incident and how crazy it gets. 

Rating - 8/10
