Oddly seems to .. well.. not really "glorify", there was never any attempt to condone or excuse Amato's actions, .. but.. well.. this seemed to give WAY too much attention to Amato himself. This filmmaker seemed to feed into Amato's desire for attention, and Amato CLEARLY enjoyed it, in order to get a story. That seemed well.. just wrong. It came across as an uneasy way for Amato to "profit" from his crimes overall. I didn't like that. I mean, sure feed his ego to get the story, understandable. But that does NOT mean you need to use so much video of him in the doc itself. Audio recording would have been better. Don't provide him any unintentional ancillary "fame" so to speak.
Basically, I felt as though there were 2 episodes to feed Amato's ego (which he reveled in). Then one episode to detail Amato's crimes. I'm not really certain it needed the first and third episodes. If episode 2 was edited better and perhaps made it a bit longer - a 75/90 minute special rather than a 3 episode series would have made so much more sense.
It was interesting, but not a "must see" by any means.
This REALLY came across as "The Grant Amato Show." There's no "revelation", no "moment of clarity", no "uncovered story".. nothing really at all. I mean he was convicted.
I, for one, have the exact same impression of Amato after watching this as I did before watching it - spoiled rich kid with mental issues that reacted horribly when he wasn't getting what he wanted.
I found this to be a waste of time overall.
