- How did the real life Serpent escape an Indian prison? What did Netflix get wrong about Dominique’s story? Was Marie-Andrée the Serpent’s victim or his partner? And who of the real witnesses didn’t like their depiction in the series? Find the answers in this video!
Did you know that they called him Serpent because of how sly, poisonous and manipulative he was? Even if he was caught, Charles Sobhraj could find his way out of jail.
Some people claim that Marie-Andree was very much aware of Sobhraj’s crimes. Others claim that she was very much consciously involved.
But there are also those who deny that Marie was Sobhraj’s partner.
Nadine Gires for example.
Yes, according to Nadine’s interview to the Daily Mail, Maria-Andree was more of a prisoner, than a partner.

This Netflix series was the best show I’ve seen in quite awhile. I was sucked in from the start and surely binged!
Better than night stalker?
So good I've began to read the book as well. The Serpentine
Me too. It haunts me,
@@maxi7752 How did this show glorify Sobhraj? It didn't at all, so what do you mean?
It's hard to think all dialogue and script shows what really happened. You cannot watch this and believe what he is like. It was a great watch don't get me wrong. Alas another fake watch
I was never so scared of being a victim of a serial killer before like I am of being one now... I have always traveled alone overseas and stayed in hostels, making friends and partying with other travelers, pretty much the way the series showed. I think I will never travel the same way or be as relaxed again... this show gave me the chills like the movie jaws did with sharks...
Exactly what I was thinking when I remember how chill I was with the people I met while traveling around backpacker style with my husband. We luckily never really made any friends and don't like to party. But still...
Yer fine, you have a cell phone and surveillance cameras are everywhere!
Also dna will catch the killer. Prior to year 2000 everyone was a victim. You have more chances of dying by a drunk than getting murdered from a serial killer.
Check out the movie hostel
There's alot to be said about staying at home..tbh, I'm sad all this quarantine is nearly over..
What I love in particular about this show is how you get a little more insight into the victims before they were murdered, it's something I wish we would see more of, an important part of the story that sometimes is glossed over in a few sentences or lack of detail. I think it makes the show more terrifying and more connecting in a way.
Charles is probably thrilled that he is a infamous & this series had been made about him. I feel Monique was innocent at the start but she ended up as a full accomplice. She could have saved many lives had she had a conscience. It's like women who allow their partners to abuse their kids. I have little sympathy.
She definitely had a conscience. Unfortunately, she decided to ignore it nearly every step of the way. She was 100% an accomplice.
@@mage1086 Being notorious is the hedonistic pleasure for psychopaths. Its the reason why Charles Sobhraj taveled back to Nepal - he loves the recognition.
I had hoped Monique would confess at some point before she decided to become his full-fledged accomplice. Her diary entries, as well as her thoughts and expressions, revealed that she was fully overwhelmed by her susceptibility toward Charles. Regardless, It's perplexing how such human beginnings could be
I have NO sympathy
Love to know what his grown up kids think about him..🌼
It's disturbing how he still alive after all of this
And now he is free!
Just finished watching the whole series and yet feel like justice hasn't been served 🙁
I’m a true crime fan and like to think I know most cases , but I had never heard of this one until I watched the series . It really hit home and I also travelled alone in Asia very often . I now live in India and married out here .. I was explaining to my husband that he must watch the series and explaining the story a little , straight away he said oh yes Charles Sobhraj . He’s not a true crime geek like me at all , but knew this well from his childhood . I can’t believe I had never come across him before .,
Charles Sobhraj is quite famous in India, largely due to the jewel heist and the escape from Delhi's infamous prison.
It sounds like you 'like' to think you know more than you do. It is possible that other people might know things you do not!
@@justme-hh4vp yeah you got me completely wrong here but I guess thats always the risk of commenting on social media. Nevernind :( someone somewhere always wants to call you out and misunderstand your intentions . Have a great day anyway.
I have to say the casting of characters in this show was brilliant 👍🏻 this was a captivating if not terrifying show .
Commissioned by the BBC, made by ITV and first shown on the BBC, but, yeh, let's just say Netflix did everything 👌🤦🏻♂️
Charles Sobhraj was released from prison in Nepal due to health concerns and extradited to France in December 2022. A very good book about this is 'Serpentine', written by Thomas Thompson and released in 1979.
Wait what?
@Kgosi113 yeah he's a free man, and given that he's almost 80 years, he will most likely remain free for the rest of his life.
That actor who played Dominique is hot asf.
Fabien Frankel
The actor playing the diplomat really took the crown for me ! The rest of the cast was fantastic !
Give the series 2 thumbs up. Really enjoyed it esp the actor playing the lead role of C.Sobhraj, Tahar Rahim. IMO, he played the role of a psychopath - manipulative, exploitative, narcissistic, lacking empathy, charming, lacking any guilt or feeling, cold calculating --- very well. His role as a scary was well done.
U describing people that r living on this earth that when others r complaining about them ,nobody will believe u ....
SCARY ...THEY LIVE AMONG US
TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN
Great actor
Thanks for putting in a lot more research than 99% of the videos out there on the subject :)
The actor and actors in the series where amazing, they really captured the look of them. He kind of reminds me of Dev Anand!
Everything about The Serpent was soooo awesome.. one of the best I've seen in quite some time.
Also.. the show made me want to travel all over the world so much
The reason why the victims didn't easily walk away is because Sobhraj wasn't overly scary; people get involved into mystery and the paradoxical fear and love relationship. It's like when you're on the other side of the fence, looking to a lion, and you know if he escapes, he can kill you.
I believe it's more about how he's influenced them by using his mind tricks to poke them in the eye and make them doubt their decisions. He would frequently advise not to pressurize the victims. Which just confirms his dominant narcissistic and psychopathic characteristics
Also he was sophisticated with a gorgeous French Accent...most likely we'll spoken and could converse easily..Smooth Operator...which is what the best Conmen are.. 🌼
Had me glued... well made
The early media reports about Sobhraj frightened me out of travel through Asia for several years. I now love visiting the region but some encounters with shady individuals over the years has confirmed that a level of caution that some regard as "paranoia" is justified.
True that region..attracts a lot of No Good Men from all over the World.. mainly from the West .it's a Magnet now for those on the run..from dodgy pasts..older males..who you would not give the time of day to back in their own Country .🌼🌼
He probably had hidden some of those gems somewhere in the same jungle in Nepal and probably returned in 2003 to retrieve them. I mean... that explains the reason for his return and the reason why his interpreter ended up marrying him, a convicted criminal who lives in prison.
Before come back in nepal, he earned nearly $ 15 million paid by a producer on a documentary made about him, when he returned to France.
The Nepalese justice seized everything from him, which is why the daughter of his lawyer had appealed by causing a public scandal.
One of the best series in a while. Keep it up Netflix.
Brilliant, Brilliant series. It drew me in from the start. It has to be the best true crime tv series I have ever watched. Hats off to the amazing, talented cast and crew as well as the brave real life people in the story. My sincere love and praise goes to the incredible Jenna Coleman who played Marie Andree to perfection. Such a talented and beautiful actress. ❤❤❤
This movie hopefully shows how careful you have to be while traveling and ordering open drinks and then leaving them unattended! How easy it is for someone to put something in it! Always drink out of a bottle and don’t put it down until you are finished it! Be safe ❤
I could watch it all over again.
I found the series really interesting and watched it almost all in one go
Agree, one of the best serieses out there with regards to the story, cast, (that were largely unknown to me but outperformed themselves), the script not quotable but stays with you, very hard hitting, and every other scene is set so beautifully it could be a movie poster. Also as a set piece; the fashions, tech, cars, atmosphere, sounds are all how I imagine it them to be... just awesome! 11/10!
This is an excellent series. Really skilfully put together with time flips leaving you guessing about
small things such as which woman went round the embassies telling her story about a murderer.
The central character of Knippenberg was really well played, and you felt sorry for the put-downs
her received for being on the right track all the time! There was genuine suspense in this and the
guy who played Sobhraj was very scary!
Dominique 🥺🥺 Nadine & Remi 🥺 so brave people
Really liked this production !
i just realized that i walk pass the actual Khanit house everyday to work ...goose bump!
Whaaaat!!!!
I'm too curious,can you please say bout the appearance of the house now!!!!
@@madanup5640 It’s changed into a luxury apartment now. I was looking at their big balcony every time i walk passed, imagining i could live in that kind of apartment one day… until i watch this series😅
@@chayaponjanshine5018 wow great insight thank u
Technically Kanit House was demolished in the late 1990s. The condo is new.
I think he knew that Nepal jail would be a bit easier than elsewhere... that's why he returned
Actually, He was caught by a western journalist while walking on the street of thamel(a hub for tourists in Kathmandu). He was completely unaware of the picture. He is a big catch till now by Nepalese police. FYI I am from Nepal.
This was bomb and pretty close to the real events, the acting was superb as was the direction.
Wow, This series was brilliant, I had no idea, I just started watching it out of bordom on Netflix's.
Kudos to the cast of actors, especially Tahar Rahim, that actor is a legend in the making!
Wow. I had no idea this Documentary was so true to some of the people portrayed in the series. Thank god for Knippenberg (the Dutch Embassy guy), it's insane that he was like the only one of those guys who cared enough to do something about it. Well the Belgian guy (if played correctly) was a good friend and much more helpful to Knippinberg, and was possibly correct for wanting to just shoot Sobhraj from the very beginning lol. But then again, it should have been taken care of by the law way enforcement way sooner. And I'm surprised the wife of Knippenburg thought she was ubderplayed in the series though. I totally saw them as a power couple in the process of putting a stop to Sobhraj, the series truly makes it look like he could not have done it without her at all. If anything, he almost seemed way too dependent on her sometimes.
Siemons' idea makes sense because he was a Belgian soldier who fought Nazis in World War II, and was posted to Belgian Congo as an army officer before being transferred to Belgian Foreign Service. Paul has a mind of the soldier, with Herman being diplomatic the whole time.
I live in Thailand and found the series fascinating. There was a foreigner committed murder some time ago where the guy chopped his lover up and put the body parts all over the island, police caught him quote efficiently so I don't think this guy would have got so far without being caught nowadays.
Just think he's bk walking the streets again for some reason he's become an enigma, but the guy that plays him in the serpent is gorgeous 😍
Thank you
So much for "spend the rest of his life in Nepal". He got out of jail in december 2022...
The series was great! Specially the casting. Everyone of them played their role very professionally that at some point I believed that they were the real characters 👌
This series was sooo good! In my mid twenties I was backpacking in SE Asia myself so it was really scary to watch. But I was thinking : those hippies, and maybe that whole generation, were generally so naive! I was thinking no way I would have gotten into a car alone with him and his Indian buddy! And I would not have taken some “medication”…I guess they had less access to information about such dangers? And they were full of ideals, wanted to believe in the good of people…plus all the drugs
Exactly. Some people in the comments seem to gloss over how truly naive his victims were.. and when he went for the not naive, he got caught very fast
Yes..but overall the World was much more innocent...it was the time of peace and love and Fantastic Music and Freedom..and Everything Affordable...so naive is not the right word for that time...People were genuinely more innocent and trustworthy..Greed was not part of the World then...Plus Sobhraj..is a very unusual character..a one off...and he is still alive and Free again..🌼
My appreciation and respect to the people who stood on the side of justice and right. May the hell's fury lay upon the devious criminals.
Anyone know where to watch the interview of Sobhraj in the start of the video? Can't seem to find it anywhere
I can't believe Charles Sobhraj is still alive in a jail in Nepal.
Yah that’s the truth I met him,,but didn’t talk to him
He is kept separately ,,jail inside jail
Yeah! Still in nepal in jail age @ 76
He is released from Nepal jail many mths ago
well i’m glad he’s alive instead of having a quick, painless death. he deserves to suffer in the jail for the rest of his life.
Best series I've seen in a long time ⌛ loved 😍it
Why wouldn`t Angela, being the detective partner she was, be depicted accurately? It would of been an interesting drama anyhow. Let's say they diagree about the lead evidence etc. Smells a little bit like sexism to me that she would just be his wife.
I don't think so. That lady looked a bit like a raging feminist, with a bit of make envy and need for credit beyond that of a dutiful wife.
@@Morgue12free If you do a background research, she spoke 6 languages and translated all the letters. Raging feminist or not, it's no fair that they didn't accurately depict her coz Herman def couldn't have done it all alone.
Exactly, and Monique too. Nadine was a badass but all the other female characters were nothing but eyecandy.
I enjoyed this.
One thing I thought was crazy about the show is how they drove from France all the way to India. Is that even possible now days?
It used to be possible and a lot of people did it, but in 1979 the Iranian revolution took place and the Soviets invaded Afghanistan so it became infeasible after that.
Yep, all my hippy friends did this, or got the Magic Bus. They loved Afghanistan and Iran❤
I loved the show. And I also loved seeing Lord Percy from Blackadder for the first time in a very long time.
Im currently binge watching this
Saw the news of Charles release from prison yesterday in Malaysia. Looked up about him found the show on Netflix. Had a marathon on The Serpent. Sure is charismatic dangerous enigmatic guy - Mr Shobraj. The actors/ actress were depicting their roles brilliantly. Wondered -with his release , will he be heading bk to France ? Since he holds French nationality.
He married his lawyer 's 20-year old daughter in Nepal while being in prison. He can charm anyone..!! 😂
你講解的很精彩
My foster sister Thereza Knowlton was his first victim. She left our family home in Seattle Washington, in 1975, on her way to Tibet to become a Buddhist Nun. She stopped in Thailand for some D & D and met Charles Sohbraj & AJ. She was killed & her body was dressed in a flowered bikini (He was reported to have dressed her in a flowered bikini). She was found in a river. Her body was burned. His woman got arrested 2 days later trying to cash her travellers (sic) checks.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
Well, strange that you spell her name wrong
@@juliarman 😅
Jeez....I was so afraid for Dominique in the series. However, ALL the things he did was horrific.
Good job to all who helped stop him.
where can I find the full interview from the beginning of the vid?
He got out last fall. He said he want to sue Netflix for defaming his character. So he obviously watched it.
Here in the UK, there's a documentary currently being shown about him. He was interviewed, in London by an ex detective and psychologist to see if he's a psychopath. He is very evasive and tries to control the whole narrative. Obviously, he's denying any wrong doing.
Netflix only screened on its platform, they didn't produce or commission.
This dude was manipulative af. I was terrified.
Just to get the facts right, it was a BBC show not a Netflix one.
It’s always those glasses for me 😂
This série gave me such an interesting feeling, it was so disgusting to see the things but defenetly binge able. RESPECT to my Dutch homies who served justice.
Defo one of best series i ever saw on neflix. I wonder who is the original produced the series
Watching this series my heart fell down, I could not able to continue...such a bastard!! May he rot in hell!!
he is in nepal he is enjoying his life he has better communication and social skill than you lollll
@@kishorkhatri7958 what a nice reply, a weak one in fact ;)
@@kishorkhatri7958 I wouldn't talk about lack of communication & social skills if I were you... That was pretty pathetic, both in tone and grammar.. Additionally, being in a prison in Nepal is hardly fun..
@@kishorkhatri7958 imagine praising and defending a psychopathic serial killer! get a hobby
@@kishorkhatri7958 the people who believed him were dumbasses like you
This man has lived an incredible life and many lifetimes in this one..🌼
After the show so many fanatics are going write to him and want to see him the prison is going to be like a holiday resort
How is it that they still cant find AJay that's weird
Char killed him.
Only logical to rid himself of a loose end.
I think he was a druggie ..not too bright ..so a Liability...needed to get rid..🌼
Can someone tell where is his Interview with BBC in 1998???
The real-life Nadine has a guest house on Khanom Beach.
And her Ex husband Remi is now a farmer in Thailand.
@@wetznerkdk2922 +1 Yes, near the Laos border in the North.
YES. She was shown on a vloggers video. Just made the connection. Thanks.
I did enjoy the video but there's something I'm really curious about that it didn't touch on. In the show, Charles ends up getting together again with Juliette at/around the time where he is being interviewed in the part that is shown in the very beginning of the show and towards the end. I was very surprised to see this & was just wondering if you knew, did they in fact get back together? Thanks!
They don't even know who created the serious and then talking about it. Great 😆
He's actually outta jail from napal now
Enjoyed seeing Charles.
Dominique was indeed very lucky that those two ppl were so empathetic and kind. What a great couple of ppl. True evil versus good d knippenberg what an amazing guy! Deserves tk be honoured for his work. Knippenberg says Marie was sucked in and in awe of Charles but that she is take part. I know who I'd believe! Charles a pure psychopath, the series sucked me in with the frustration these ppl felt when authority didn't help them. May those who died be at peace now, they paid the ultimate price but we remember them least ✌
What hapoened to andre? Where is he now?
Now out and about in Paris again.
He recently got out of prison from Nepal. Serpent always escapes.
I think Indian movie main aur Charles is far far better than this Netflix series ...and the actor Randeep Hooda ..great acting by him
I am a French native and the casting of Jenna Colemann is probably the only big mistake of the series. Her accent doesn't sound as French nor Quebecian genuine accent, but like a badly concealed British accent. They should have hired an actual Quebec actress instead.
Kinda agree, they really nailed the other actors in terms of accents, appearance and portrayal, but they couldn’t stay away from the typical old “femme fatale” narrative with a super attractive woman playing the lead
He is 5 km away from me in kathmandu present😲😯😳
When his Vietnamese blood controls him :))
He is Free a photo of him on an airplane just went viral he was freed on December 24th to go live in France how is this Justice????
Yes how the police took many years to catch the killer
This isn't a Netflix production... they bought it from BBC.
Watch Hindi Movie based on Charles Shobraj , Main aur Charles.
Nadine said that Sobhraj might be release in 2023
Randeep Hooda did a very good job👍🏼
Now he's released from Nepal jail 🙁
C'est triste mais le vrai était plus charismatique et plus beau que l'acteur malgré que l'acteur est très bon quand même pour jouer son rôle
he's not in jail 😂😂😂he was out in 2022
The story of Sobhraj is horrific. The book is excellent, but hard to read because of his deeds. So is the Netflix series.
Angela Kane comments made her seem like she wanted more credit in the show than what occurred in real life 😂
Haha
He's not in jail anymore. He's been released early and now living in France.
Next year I am planning a trip to Indonesia, after this movie 🎬 my biggest fear it to loose my passport 🙃
And now he is a free man
Knippenberg is a remarkable woman not many women have taken their careers as far as she did ..
aaaaaand... he's out now.
If Netflix did something right, that would be this serie about Sobhraj
The BBC made this and sold it to Netflix
Hes out now! lol
He is out on the streets again
I wonder how much Charles was paid by Netflix
