The murders of Ted Bundy left the world shocked and terrified, and even after 45 years since Ted Bundy's first, documented homicides took place, the world is still enthralled by how a seemingly regular man could commit such heinous and gruesome crimes. The new docu-series "Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes" consists of four episodes that offer a glimpse into the monstrous mind of Bundy as well as law enforcement's efforts in stopping his crime-spree.

Below are five reasons why you must binge-watch "The Ted Bundy Tapes" as soon as you can.

Ted Bundy is one of America's most notorious serial killers.

Before the term "serial killer" was even coined, Ted Bundy is believed to have murdered as many as 100 people until his ultimate execution in 1989. Bundy is repeatedly described as being a charming and handsome, a stark contrast from the brutal crimes he committed and lived a seemingly perfect childhood. Or so he said. What makes Ted Bundy so fascinating is the fact that he doesn't fit the stereotype of what evil looks like, making you question what horrors and mystery lie hidden in his mind.

The documentary includes the real people who ultimately put an end to Bundy's crimes.

Like any true crime series, the detectives, lawyers, and witnesses related to Bundy play a fundamental role in the orchestration of the documentary and offer an insight into what Bundy was like. Carol DaRonch, an escaped victim of Bundy, tells her harrowing story of being abducted as a teenager in Utah and how she has since dealt with the aftermath of escaping. It is with Carol's terrifying encounter with Bundy that led Utah authorities to pursuit Bundy and convicts him of aggravated assault.

The documentary includes actual tapes of Bundy while on death row.

The tapes included in the series are of great interest for the mere fact that Bundy persistently insists his innocence despite the indisputable evidence stacked against him. Instead of speaking the truth, Bundy talks in the third person about a "hypothetical" serial killer and acts as an expert witness for his own crimes.

Real footage and photographs are included.

To go along with the harrowing Bundy tape recordings and the interviews of those closely linked to the Bundy cases, the documentary includes real-life footage of the crime scenes and the actual trials in which Bundy acted has his own lawyer.

Bundy's most notorious killings took place on FSU's campus and is of great importance to his ultimate execution.

In 1978, Bundy brutally murdered two FSU students and injured two more while they slept inside their sorority house. These shocking crimes shattered a community and left the world wondering what kind of monster would commit such an act. The trial for these murders is shown in the documentary as well as the testimony of one of the sorority sisters present during that fateful night. It is with this trial that a media circus amounted and groups of young girls flocked to the courtroom in order to catch a glimpse of the "handsome" killer.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
