As soon as I'd finished Catching Milat I was thinking about one pretty massive issue that it had, and it made me think that it's a problem shared by a lot of Australian True Crime stuff - we spend so much time with the villain, but basically learn nothing about them beyond the superficial. We get a look into some of his home life, but zero information about his motivation. We don't even know if parts of this version of Milat's crimes are incidental in the carrying out of the crimes he actually cares about, or if the whole thing is planned, or none of it. It also takes some pretty massive liberties with the actual history of Ivan Milat, especially in the second part.
It was pretty neat to see a some things and go "Hey, I recognise that!" (I used to camp in Belanglo State Forest) but I Can't imagine that experience will exactly translate to the world at large.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
