This is a fairly accurate accounting of Ted Bundy and his homicidal journey. As it happens, I knew Bundy. I worked at KSPN radio in Aspen when Bundy was awaiting trial for the murder of Caryn Campbell. I interviewed him a number of times, including the evening before he escaped for the second time. (Earning me a visit from the FBI.)
What impressed me most about this production was Mark Harmon's performance. Harmon absolutely nailed Bundy - his walk, his mannerisms, even his phony self-effacement. It was eerie to watch how totally Harmon captured Bundy.
This movie was adapted from Dick Larsen's book, The Deliberate Stranger, and Larsen is a character in this show. The movie still stands up today.
It's hard to explain how important Bundy was to the times. As horrifying as he was, he captured the country's attention like no other serial killer, to the point he attained near-folk hero status. Even today, everyone knows his name and who he was. Unmissable.
