the whole murder suspicion portions of this doc should not have been included until it was confirmed. Them draggin this on for 4 episodes is nothing more than a cash grab
Total cash grab.
Wish I could watch this... I grew up there and he taught at my high school
Wait really?
I went to HMB high school drom 84 to 87 . I remember him but didn't take his classes . Crazy seeing some of the people from that time . Watched the 1st episode . Had no idea that he was like that , my girlfriend said she spent the night over at Shannon's house and she remembered her mom making breakfast from scratch for them . Crazy .
Wow, not knowing what a friend went through growing up and seeing it in a documentary is mind blowing and scary. He was also my teacher.
You have now said this on almost every single platform, lol. It will be OK, calm down
That’s cause he lying 😂😂
That is wild. They say a lot of his students took up for him and attacked them for doing this. But usually intuition is there for a reason. The guy sounded like a horrible guy.
@@foxibot they did but now after watching this they have changed their tune and have been apologizing on FB to all the women.
He was my drivers Ed teacher in the 80’s. Crazy
@@Kube_Dogi mean yeah there is 💀 he was a crazy person like what
I remember being in his class. He used to talk about his Porsche all the time
Looks interesting. I wish Max had a reminder notification on its streaming service.
It really wasn't. Nothing happens.
It was the worst. Totally disappointing and left me wondering what the real motivation for creating this nonsense was.
@@derekhudson3523 I agree. It got interesting for 5 second when they thought he was the Zodiac killer, but that went away quick. It's almost like they were excited that he could be a famous killer. There's really no evidence at all that he ever did anything. And I'm not defending him or accusing anyone of lying. I'm just wondering how a documentary gets made with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. And the fact that he was dead makes it even worse. You can say anything about anyone when they're dead.
I was in his animal husbandry class in the 70s. He was REALLY pissed that I opted out of FFA. Guess I dodged a bullet.
He shot at you?
No, no. Just a figure of speech. He was mad at me, but didn't do anything to me.
@@user-qm5ho6fv6h It sounds like these women are trying to frame him. I'm glad he didn't shoot you.
I'm a fan of true crime documentaries. I don't want to go into an exaggeration, but from The Thin Blue Line to American Nightmare, I must have seen no less than 300 or 400. I wouldn't hesitate for a single second to say that The Truth About Jim is the worst crime documentary I have ever seen. There is simply no case: there is no evidence, there is no support, there is no information, there are no slight indications of any kind, it is three hours of smoke, or air, perhaps nothingness itself. This is sustained - it is attempted to be sustained - with weeping ladies who go through a process and "heal", although it is not very clear why (everything ends in the same place it begins...) As for the crime, they ramble, they paranoid, no proof is presented that the man was an abuser (although I do believe these women, they are obviously victims, but that is another story: I am talking about presenting evidence) and without able to prove anything, they take the matter further: they presume that he could be a serial killer. Of course, they do not present a single piece of evidence either, and when one believes that the collapse is already inevitable, they triple the bet: not only is he a serial killer, he is TWO serial killers, because he could also be the Zoodiac killer. I have no words.
A similar height and the same shoe size. That and the sadness of these poor women try to sustain this outrage to the viewer. Do yourselves a favor and don't watch this garbage.
I also love true crime,can tou recommend some.
Making a Murderer (only first season)
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark
The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst
The Staircase
Capturing the Friedmans
I think those are the best ones I've seen.
I've watched the 1st two parts and find it quite engaging. It at least sheds light on how evil people use fear and manipulation to abuse women and get away with it. I thought the earring reveal was pretty chilling.
Perfect description of this pile of garbage. I hope the money and fame they get provide them with the temporary, shallow sense of "healing" they are looking for.
This dude taught at my high school this is wild! My mom went to high school with him.
Yeah I remember him too ... I didn't have him though I had Centoni
Wow really thus is crazy
You could be his kid, when you stop and think about it... that would be nuts.
This is an amazing series. I’m a 59 year old father with a 20 year old daughter. I just watched The Truth About Jim. It’s hard to describe what I’m feeling right now. As each story of sexual, physical and emotional abuse was told my heart was breaking. As each victim told their story I was literally saying out loud “I’m so sorry this happened to you”. And I prayed God would bring healing, comfort and peace to each one of them. I wish I could do something to help them. But I realize the best thing I can do is thank them for telling their stories; and encourage all victims of abuse to tell their stories. If the first person doesn’t jump at the chance to help you then keep telling your story until someone does. If someone told me they had been abused I would become their advocate and stand with them to seek justice and help. I’m not a special person; and if I can say I’d be proud to help a complete stranger there must be one person in your life who will stand with you. Please don’t be silent. There are many good people who despise those who abuse the vulnerable and would be proud to support you.
He was a teacher at the school I went to for many years!!
@@Kube_Dog I only went my 4 years, I went from K-8 at another school, but meant he was a teacher there for many years, ...
This guy was a monster no doubt but to jump to the conclusion that he was a serial killer confuses me. To me, it seemed This girl was grinding her axe on her dead grandfather to work out her issues from her own SA.
Agreed.
Yup. Zero evidence. Sad really.
And who knows the truth about her SA…
True. Folks like Gary Ridgeway lead supposedly dull day-to-day lives and didn't let their sick mind show outside of actual killings so as to not raise suspicion. Plenty of men in history have been just as sick as this Jim guy, it's unfortunate but true. And they weren't serial killers.
It’s not streaming yet though 🤨
The part about him not ever writing, maybe that should compare the Zodiac writing to what little samples they do have.
I am sure they did.
I baby sat Christy and Her brother when I was about 12. Christy was my sisters best friend for a while. They both loved horses Christy was the bravest little girl. Her mom was so beautiful as I remember.
I remember you. I lived next door. We all thought you had stupid glasses and smelled like Palmolive, but that's the kind off silly stuff kids say. Sorry.
I can't put my finger on who she resembles. Me and my daughter were watching and we both thought she resembled an actress or someone famous.
@@jadeNcharis3 Kinda like William Shatner when he was very young.
It's SOOOooooo frustrating that the family discarded the jewlery box. It was solid proof.
Looks interesting! This is a great genre. Can’t wait to watch it!
Worst documentary I ever watched. It was so dragged on. I sympathize with these women for how he terrorized and destroyed their lives but this shouldve been an hr long doc tops
Oh really that sucks thanks for that so I'm guessing no real answers in the end just speculation
We need Our flag means death ❤ season 3
Who else thought this was actually about Jim Jones too?! 🤣 Very misleading!!!
Not to once.
Nobody only you jim Jones fans
@@jimjigga lol well I wonder y that is!!! Cause it's a veryy misleading video it's whoever made this trailers fault for not saying another name cause it's gonna keep happening and getting worse.
That’s why you should read the description before watching the video .
@@LaiLai.. I did read it tho I always do but mabye I skipped over it or something but I read it a few times and I swear I didn't see it...
This was my drivers Ed teacher back in the 70’s. At Half Moon Bay High.
@@Kube_Dogur hating on everyone that had a experience with a weird man, you might be just as weird 😭
@@lorealiiiii The guy's fine. The women are drama queens telling lies for a payday and a little fame.
@@Kube_Dog so we didn’t watch clearly. they did lie about a lot and didn’t come with any proof for some things but other things were true including his interactions with minors and sexual assault regardless of the women’s “stories” you sound so naive 😭
@@lorealiiiii Nope. Stop hating on people.
@@Kube_Dog he hating on everyone in these comments going so far to delete ur previous comment, i’m just saying that ur weird 😭 ur lack of common sense is so embarrassing
Could have done without two thirds of this documentary not being a therapy session.
It was intended to be a therapy session to help their family heal as well as teach people it's OK to speak up
The whole part of this documentary was so powerful! This is how healing starts!
@@sherryharvey7093 yea in public with millions of strangers watching. Sounds morw like attention and money seeking off sensational but evidenceless claims than healing.
Healing from what exactly? They never really say. A lot of vague accusations from people who were so intimately affected. Surely they know details. Certainly they have evidence, obviously there must have been an endless parade of men and women coming forward to share their tales of horrible interactions with this sexually violent and evil serial killer. Nope. Just a granddaughter creating a documentary that she roped her dimwitted mom and grandma into being a part of. All I know after watching this is that it is possible that this guy was creepy.
If he played football, I wonder if they ever thought to check him for CTE.
So they just leave us hanging?
No. It was concluded that the evidence was not there, no match, and what they did have was so weak nobody took it seriously enough to investigate further. It was a gossip piece.
I think he was one of my teachers of my brothers teachers. Crazy.
watched these episodes tonight
Someone needs to sue over this
Seriously. This woman repeatedly said this guy was a serial rapist. No evidence, no witnesses, just a few girls who seemed like they hade an axe to grind. This was a complete smear on a defenseless dead guy.
There was another woman who proved her dad was the killer of a young couple that was unsolved for over 20 years. It was on a show on ID. People who are covering up for this Devil will reap a terrible reward
Jim is pretty much evil personified.
Am I the only one that thought he kinda looked like Jim Jones in the beginning!!!
No
I thought it was a Jim Jones documentary at first.
@@SteveSmith-ze5mw same lol
A lotta guys looked like Jim Jones back then it was a whole mood
This was awful. Just so you know, literally NOTHING happens. I think Max thought it was going to have a crazy ending and when it didn't, they just released it any way.
They shouldn't have released it. If I were a son of this man and I believed he was innocent, I'd sue the gossip girls and Max
@@derekhudson3523 Yeah, and again - I mean we don't have any idea what happened. Maybe it's all true. Maybe he did murder people. OR - maybe he did nothing. I just think it's irresponsible of HBO to put out a doc like this. It's as if they assumed it would lead to a resolution and, when it didn't, they put it out any way because they had already spent money on it. Why cut it off before they get to the DNA results? Because they found nothing?
Can someone tell me if the adn test confirmed he is the killer? I don't understand why they didn't explain that.
It was never confirmed. All it was circumstantial situations, no actual tangible evidence, and then at some point they jump to him possibly being a the zodiac. Mostly it's a lot of people talking about their life experiences with him.
They just left us hanging!
No, there was zero evidence of anything. It's a gossip piece full of hearsay.
Isn't it wonderful they broke Jim's cycle! I'm just not getting much truth out of this exercise in coincidences... that was excruciating to watch while hoping to see some true evidence. In this era, with all the available support and all the media finger pointing, it's getting harder to find some claims to be credible. That this unfortunate woman found herself more than once in violent vulnerable positions begs one to ask, JUSTIFIABLY, just how so naive can anyone be. While it may be probable that Jim was human scum, it does not mean he was a secret serial killer. I think Jim might have been more the opposite, in personal situations, had he been a heinous killer capable of creating code with the usual red cast most Californians have before they sunbleach out completely... The sexual revolution created by the pill that women chose to take, and all of it's swinging antics is not the fault of one gender, perhaps some all around recreational drug tests and further investigating might shed more light on the whole situation??? What Jim has to do with this poor filmmaker's trauma, is absolutely nothing. She's doing it to herself.
This entire thing was so bad on so many levels I'm not sure why HBO would allow this. It's obviously plain bad, but from an ethical standpoint are we going to normalize making money off of "documentaries" accusing dead people with zero evidence? They must have made sure all of this guys family either hated him enough or got paid. Otherwise this is a defamation and slander case.
This was a teacher at my mom’s school. She understandably doesn’t wanna watch it
He was my high school ag teacher, and was always pleasant and respectful. If the allegations are true, I will be shocked.
IF? When are people going to start people survivors. What’s it going to take to have you believe them?
Evidence. It takes evidence to believe people. Gossip and crying around swimming pools in California hardly qualifies. These women were looking to make some cash.
@@derekhudson3523 Agree 100%. It is the way our justice system is designed to work. Evidence, not hearsay.
This is kind of messed up. Anyone can take a dead person and drag them through the mud like this. He's not here to defend himself or tell another side of the story . The mother really seemed like a manipulative brat that it's impossible to know what she's capable of. The grandma is clueless. And the film maker has a victim complex. Jim could just be that family man for all we know. He's not here with his documentary telling the story.
Women not in their family came forward saying he raped them..he was a bad bad man. What are you talking about?.
Your assessment is completely spot on in my opinion. Zero evidence.
What are you talking about? Did he diddle you? Why do you care so much. They guy is dead and there is zero evidence.@@caseyvincent6817
Every documentary now is about someone on a belated mission dragging a dead relative through the mud. Every documentary.
Are they saying he's the zodiac killer 😨??
Well, I can think of another much more interesting Jim, so please renew #OurFlagMeansDeath for a third season! #SaveOFMD #AdoptOurCrew 🏴☠️
rude.
When Mike Butterfield said “this doesn’t seem like the M.O. of the ZODIAC, I’m thinking … didn’t they JUST SAY that the zodiac claimed he was gonna CHANGE UP HIS M.O.? did that actually happen or at I mistaken?
Tried watching this last night. Very boring, nothing but allegations. Couldn't get through the first episode.
"Somebody's Grandpa was the serial killer"
Ya, not if he didn't have any children.
I had the same thought. Seems she forgot about that little detail as she wanted to say something that would sound dramatic/impactful. :')
It just shows you the caliber of stupid woman we're dealing with.
I started watching it and had to turn it off halfway through. The therapy sessions and the “oh my god that’s crazy” “what did he do?” “Like what did you do?” Reactions were very off putting. Felt very inauthentic and overall disappointing.
That's because it's all made up. We were duped and they're making money.
First thought I had, the Zodiac killer. 😢
If any women were assaulted by him I wish they would come forward. I know his family were not the only ones he abused. Men like this get bored with easy access and crave taking higher risks
No hes not
If this guy was the monster they attempted to portray him as there would have been thousands of allegations. The fact that there are ZERO credible allegations outside of the individuals who directly stand to benefit financially from this gossip documentary tells me a lot.
When will you release the George Clooney documentary about Ohio University?
And also that Russell Crowe documentary about Michigan State.
“I want to be famous and get money from the documentary, so let’s exploit my “STEP” grandfather.”
Who is dead and can't defend himself. Also let's only involve people with negative gossip. Where are the thousands of students who didn't come forward? Why not let them share their experiences?
Very sad story and I feel awful for the victims. However, as a piece of media: this sucked. Bad pacing, not really that interesting. I don't know if trauma alone is a strong enough foundation for a piece like this. Felt like 3 episodes of trauma dumping more than anything else.
It's important for the truth to come out about this situation but idk if the best context for it is in piece of entertainment. I feel like people are too afraid to say this was bad because they want to be supportive to the victims, but it's not a criticism of the victims, it's a criticism of this as a piece of media.
I'll criticize the "victims." I'll guarantee this guy was trash, but I also believe we have laws and a system in place to help victims of crimes. I completely agree with what you're saying and I hate to leave this documentary with such negativity towards the women, but ultimately there was no evidence. With all the young lives this man has been involved with as a teacher, there should have been a line of people with awful stories with details. We have just the mom saying he said things to her that were "sexual" and "violent." Sorry, but I'll need more than that. This feels a lot more like a cash grab defaming someone who is dead.
There are shows about trauma, like "I Survived..." that do have an audience. If I were a film maker I probably would have used this story as one of several accounts of kids who were abused by teachers and now are in middle age and can talk about it. That kind of story would actually help people. This show seems like it's just speculating about the guy being a serial killer and the speculation is grounded in practically nothing. That's a waste of everyone's time.
Why is everything feels like either a documentary or a reality show
Say that again
That's because this is a documentary
Well it's that or a ethnic gay woman lead in every show and movie. So this gives you a touch of reality.
Cheaper than scripted stuff
I don’t like ones like this
I cringe when there is an introduction and the person acts surprised. Does the camera crew already there not say who they are? 😂
So much of this stuff was probably known beforehand and it came as no surprise to those involved, but, they pretend to be surprised. I just felt this was scripted, forced.
More than anything, this showed a time in American life where parents weren't micromanaging their children's lives. It is wild to think about how much things have changed, since the 70's.
This was an incredibly dull series
Started out good but man they dragged it out. About 2 hours of good material then 2 hours of filler.
He's not the zodiac
Looks like you just cashing in and making a story up
Yes that's why the detectives agreed to take their evidence and look into it. Get a life
@@caseyvincent6817 lol yeah I'm sure they will get right on it lol
@@zorpsaturn7497 they already are what are you talking about??
@caseyvincent6817 so you know for a fact that there is a active investigation
You're not very smart are you@@caseyvincent6817
it turns out jim is sane and all the women around him were nuts
I was all for this until she had the delusion of the zodiac, now it seems like publicity stunt
I agree, I was interested but then when she brought up Zodiac I was like I’m out.
So grampa was zodiac maybe?
Legit this is a pathetic woman with no evidence saying a man is a serial killer
not saying he IS or WAS, simply providing a compelling case...
She had DNA and now if it matches they will re-open the case. Did you sleep during the show?
It is pathetic. Zero evidence and they should be sued for defamation.
This docuseries sucked. I don't recommend it.
Remarkably bad service for such price. #DontStreamOnMax because thet'll cancel all original shows after two seasons, re-hash old stuff until they're intorelable and ignore you as a customer. #TheNumbersWereThere Max, you just decided to ignore it and ax every promising original series you had.
I hope he’s not another hoax like Earl Van Best.
Our dear leader Jim
Drivers Ed teacher are weird marzullo and wheaton south always grabbed girls thighs
we wont close enough show
Not another person claiming granpa was the zodiac. Yawn. These people want attention and will throw they're husband/grandad under the bus to get it.
Theres a lot of cringe here
FBI profilers all guess the same crap about a serial killer. Theres so many annoying things in this documentary. A lot of tunnel vision
This is soooooo overdramatic. Stop calling him a serial rapist!!
This is all conjecture…just my opinion.
Tragic but the whole thing felt like a waste of time. And you definitely get some woke vibes as well...
This is trash
Modern women are both empowered and a victim simultaneously and can chose between which role benefits her most from moment to moment. The narrative has become extremely cliche and overdone. NEXT
I'm waiting for the first lawsuit to put an end to this crap.
This guy’s behavior is identical to Trump’s
He also fixed the economy?
@@Kube_Dogeconomy vs making america look like a laughing stock jesus man get over yourself hating on everybody
Oh boy.
take a drink eveeytime somebody say " how do you fee?" OMG this felt like a chick flick?
we wont close enough show
