Jedi
BBC series inspired from the story of a real-life swindler who used to make a living in the mid-70's from poisoning and robbing young Western tourists in Southeast Asia.
The level of deception, manipulation and heinousness is just unbelievable, almost unbearable to watch at some point - there are 8x1-hour episodes - so plan accordingly if you binge watch. How was that all possible? All those victims were people who trusted and befriended the guy, a psychopath with an altered ego, even after he was caught and sentenced he still enjoyed admiration in some part of the world...hence the title, as from cobra hypnosis. An yet his end-goal was stealing, he was just a miserable thief, petty criminal with great ideals at the end of the day. But people fall victims of their own credulity, like that woman who died shot in the Capitol Hill victim of another deception, her family learned from TV - her parents in-law could not explain what drove here there.
Spare me of these charismatic type of characters and messiahs like Trump the Patriot or Savior, I prefer to admire the delivery guy or the clerk checking every detail of the paperwork...
