The Voyeur
''Gerald Foos is the former owner of the Manor House Motel, which operated in Aurora, Colorado. He was the subject of Gay Talese's 2016 article "The Voyeur's Motel" in The New Yorker, in which Talese disclosed that Foos was a long time voyeur of people staying in his hotel, having installed grilles in the ceiling of most of the rooms that enabled him to view his guests without their knowledge''

Mindhunter on the other hand is very good.
Really? Mindhunter on the other hand is very good.
We managed upto him chatting to the chick in the bar before turning it off. So it does get better?

some terrible acting
poor script
slow
cliched
at times gritty, at others a little trite
In fairness, it is a Western... some terrible acting

I’m not squeamish but there does seem to be a lot of gratuitous gore on Netflix now just for the sake of it, that doesn’t really add anything to the series.
I've enjoyed watching The Sinner, but there are at least a couple of big plot holes.
1. Bill Pullman's character notes that Cora hit him seven times when he plays the song to her, in exactly the same pattern as she stabbed Frankie. But the reason how or why she did this is never explained.
2. In the last episode, Cora's mother tells her she thought she and sister Phoebe had run away. But earlier in the series she had told the cops that Phoebe died when Cora went missing. Why would she say that? Phoebe was the one she cared about so why didn't she want to know what happened to her when Cora turns up on her own five years later? That bit doesn't really make any sense.

I watched this tbh it just felt like a huge plug for his book. The voyeur has a screwball loose and should be in jail, the author comes across as a charismatic gentleman but you get a few glimpses of how OCD and rude he can be.

Dunno I felt disappointed by it, it's some story, but it was 90 minutes of how to write the book.
