Apr 14, 2022I recommend watching this with a strong stomach. You can't spell Savile without VILE.
Even through Jimmy Savile had finally be exposed, along with his pals. However, I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I also recommend checking out Louis Theroux documentary on Savile. -
May 3, 2022Unflinching and brutal but really well done. Important messages for everyone.

May 2, 2022It's in the second part that this mini-series picks up the pace in this compelling and disturbing tale of abuse, power & cover-ups.

It is clearly intended for an international audience and for UK viewers too young to remember when Savile was a fixture on the airwaves. And, as an overview of the scandalous licence he was given to prey on vulnerable young people, it is horrifically thorough.

I found the second of this two-parter the more compelling. Part one feels like an extended curtain-raiser.

It’s frustrating to know that Savile never got his comeuppance while he was alive. At the same time, even documenting his horrors posthumously can serve some honesty to his true legacy. STREAM IT if you’re not worried about being triggered by it. Otherwise, quite obviously, SKIP IT.
