What a compelling series!! But I'll keep it real SIMPLE - it's excellent! The cinematography, directing, acting, story-telling - all excellent. One of the best crime shows I've watched in the last few years and despite what is a very disturbing set of events - the colourful visuals will leave you wanting to go to South East Asia.
If I had to be a little critical of one thing is that I would have maybe gone into more character depth of this Charles Sobhraj - as I think they portrayed him well as a sociopath but they simply scratched the surface when it comes to understanding what made him the way he was. At the same time, he doesn't really deserve such an ending, an explanation for who he is. The mini-series is based on true events and one should keep in mind that this type of notoriety perhaps undermines the little justice the victims received. So that said, they probably made the right call and you should give the series a watch.
