Reply to comment by SQUID_FUCKER in What's your favorite Sharlto Copley performance? by AndyKaufmanSentMe

Ted K is totally worth watching and probably unlike pretty much anything you imagine it would be like going in. Stylistically it’s very clear that it’s a visionary filmmaker’s passion project. Weirdly unique movie, but it’s fantastic. I feel like I got a lot out of it, and it’s like bold choice after bold choice that I really got a kick out of. Sharlto is in every scene and he does for the Unabomber what Charlize Theron did as Aileen Wournos in Monster, really humanizes and sheds light on a dark deeply disturbed person’s perspective.

There was another miniseries about him called Manhunt that was pretty good where Paul Bettany played Ted. I really enjoyed that one, will be interested to check out Ted and see how the two compare. Manhunt humanized him quite a bit as well.

Steer clear of the older movies about him. They did a couple like a decade ago, but the main character is a bear and he smokes weed instead of bombing people. Totally not accurate.
