Wow, it all ended like that for Becky, it's really easy..
It's a great micro-series, I really liked it. Moreover, it looked fine in the format of a micro-series. That is, yes, it could be filmed as a mini-series or even stretched as the most boring "Thirteen Reasons Why", but it seems to me that it is normal and within this format. One of the few cases when such conciseness does not harm, as for me.
it is interesting how the police eventually got on the trail of the killer, although for sure the following murders gave him away ... it was well shown in the series that murderers are not always from the close circle of victims, as the teacher-journalist said in his case at school it was a pizza deliverer, those random people. Unfortunately, there are many such stories as this, people are afraid to think that a good-natured neighbor with a beautiful smile or a random passerby can kill. for some, this series is very cliched, it's true, because that's usually how it turns out in life
Yeah, killing two teenagers just because they were arrogant. So-so motivation, to be honest. Although if he is a person with serious mental disabilities, then this would explain a lot. In any case, it's a pity for the girls (and the teacher too, because in fact he was in the wrong place at the wrong time). The series is not bad, and the idea is decent. Plus, I agree with the commentator above, it would really be interesting to see how the killer made a mistake. In my opinion, it would be a logical plot twist if it were shown that, as a result, it was the journalist who came out on his trail. And so it turns out that the small timing of the series (and, in principle, their total number) did not allow this storyline to be fully developed.
@theeastwind: "So-so motivation, to be honest." - You are probably looking for a logical explanation, but an adequate person cannot find logic here. Most likely, beautiful girls are so annoying to adult men who were unpopular at school, to put it mildly. These are the same cute girls who bullied him when he was a teenager - that's what happened... something ugly as a result, plus, of course, you can't call him normal, a pervert with unsatisfied sex fantasies and deep-rooted complexes. He looks at them like a Golum at a ring, loves and hates, wants and hates. He hates it clearly more, because he does not rape, but he is ready for anything so that they do not remind him of a hellish period in his life - about school.
I feel sorry for Becky and Casper the most... But at least they had time to enjoy the feeling of first love in its brightest colors. I was actually touched by Casper's attitude towards Becky all the way, he really loved her with all his heart, it's a pity that everything ended so tragically for them, but I don't blame him, absolutely. That guy was a moral freak, and that was the only way to stop him from disfiguring someone else over time. Seriously, what else is there? He's the local golden boy there, he got away with attacking Becky, they would have gotten away with stabbing him too. He would end up maiming someone himself or even killing them - and only then would everyone's eyes be opened to his essence. And then maybe they would have been discharged, or he would have served time and come out even more ugly.
And it's a pity for Charlie, of course - he's also a pure soul, a good guy, fell in love with a girl - and immediately lost it like that, God forbid anyone to go through this, and even more so at the age of 16...
One of the advantages is a good atmosphere in the form of a story by the main character and a transmitted atmosphere. Of the minuses, we can single out the plot, they gave it a beginning and remembered the end only in the last episode in order to somehow close it.
