Netflix released a documentary on Ted Bundy, a serial killer, named Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, on January 24, 30 years after his execution. However, the video streaming company is appalled by their audience reaction.

According to Netflix, the viewers, instead of taking note of Bundy's heinous crimes, seems to be in praises about his looks and charisma.

I've seen a lot of talk about Ted Bundy’s alleged hotness and would like to gently remind everyone that there are literally THOUSANDS of hot men on the service — almost all of whom are not convicted serial murderers

The Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, is a four-part documentary series. The conversations were recorded by a journalist, while Bundy was on death row in Florida. He was executed on an electric chair.

Bundy was considered to be one of the deadliest criminals of the United States in the 1970s. He was a kidnapper, rapist and a necrophile. However, many of Bundy's victims regarded him to be handsome and charismatic, which he used to exploit and win their trust.

He abducted women, raped and killed them and left their bodies to be fed by wild animals. He even saved the skulls of some women, which he considered to be his 'trophies'.

After denying his crimes for more than a decade, Bundy confessed 30 homicides and was executed on January 24, 1989. Though Bundy was charged for 30 homicides, he claimed to have killed at least a 100.

Despite the history, his contempt and disdainful attitude did not bring the chill down the viewers' spines. Netflix, on social media, continues to urge the audience to take note of his heinous crimes rather than praising his charisma.
