I refuse to watch this. They shouldn’t be making this man’s name anymore well known. Let his name be forgotten! It literally makes me feel sick. I was a young girl when he was at the height of his career. I remember worshiping him and repeatedly writing in to be on his show. I’m personally boycotting anything to do with him! ‘Vile’ is literally in his surname. Seriously, any person with crimes such as his should not be given screen time. There’s so many other subjects, one’s that don’t trigger victims.

I'm not an British person and I didn't knew anything about this guy or his career before. And the first episode got me. He was portrayed as a likeable guy, charismatic showman, so, it was the facade that British people saw for so many years. But we were given hints. And then BOOM! I was shocked. My only complaint is that episode 2 didn't cover the most horrific crimes. They should have covered more crimes against children by him to make the audience aware of his sick mentality especially in hospitals

[Netflix] A successful approach to a sinister character who used fame to develop his personality as a sexual predator (echoes of Bill Cosby). It is interesting the approach of the first part that shows his relations with politics and the monarchy ("unofficial advisor", as he is defined), which may explain a certain complicit silence. What the second part shows is that the abuses were not discovered after his death, but were reported but silenced, which is an even more sinister representation of the conscious blindness of those around him.

Interesting, but didn’t need to be 3 hours long. If you only watch Part 1 it almost feels like a celebration of Jimmy Savile. I’d recommend watching it nonetheless.
