“Killer Inside” can feel a bit scattershot at times. Just as it seems to be digging a little deeper into one aspect of this story, it moves on to another one, but the three episodes achieve a cumulative power.

Through a wealth of trial footage, archival news broadcasts, new interviews and prison phone conversations, Killer Inside persuasively contends that Hernandez was the byproduct of a perfect storm of negative developments.

The intro was weird, especially considering Netflix always has such good ones. This was fascinating, he killed 2 guys for spilling a drink on him, killed a guy out of jealousy, shot a buddy, shot 2 guys in a car. I think what went wrong for him was that nobody in his life ever supported him, when he got rich they demanded money, he hated himself for being gay. He was a guy who just did not know himself. Most people I know are heartless enough to do what he did, just very few are stupid enough to be so careless.

A very cohesive, comprehensive telling of the sordid details of Aaron Hernandez's life. An incredible story, shocking and unbelievable at times. I had to watch it again and, even then, rewind certain parts because I couldn't believe what I had just seen and heard.

Netflix's Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez makes a more valiant effort to find the truth, at least in terms of probing causes of his behavior.

There is no single strong narrator through the docuseries, which leaves it feeling a little scattered at times (at its worst, it has some of the cheesy elements that have come to be associated with cable crime dramas, like overwrought reenactments). ... Much like the documentary itself, with its disparate amalgam of voices offering conjecture about the player's life, Hernandez was a sum of his pieces.

A great athlete, with reprehensible acts that should not hide behind the fact that he was misunderstood. Unfortunate everything.

The banality of evil or just plain stupidity. Both really. Despite the producer's best efforts to steer the narrative, nobody looks good in this. Nearly every talking head is dislikable, some are unbearable. The prison phone calls are the most interesting and informative. The attempts to explain/justify his actions are weak but at least they tried. Karma reigned in the end.
