Can’t see it either. Would love an executive summary.
Peacock Series Summary by Mrs.A:
Episode 1 - Basically a summary of the case up to the arrest of Rex. Focused heavily on the Gilgo Four. If the viewer is familiar with the case they probably won't learn anything new. The Hueremann/Ellerup content is used as preview clips.
Episodes 2 & 3 - These two episodes walk the viewer through the charges and evidence chronologically as well as the families reactions.
Guest speakers include reporters that have all spoken and written pretty extensively on the case. But they don't add new information and do speculate some. For example, Alexis Linkletter proposes that since Rex had already been killing and knew what type of person he could manipulate and thus hand-picked Asa as a partner.
Rex’s bff, David Jimenez, also speaks on the show. He implies that Rex basically told him that he is guilty when he visited him in prison. He is revealed to be the mystery visitor that had been mentioned in the media.
Kerri Rawson goes to visit the family and has genuine compassion for them as Rex’s victims because of how he is a psychopath and their thinking and reactions should not be judged.
Christopher, Rex’s adopted son, is respectfully only featured talking about the garage before and after the investigators go in the house. He is present living life in the footage but he is not exploited, IMHO, because of his disability.
Victoria has an arc of thinking from doubt to acceptance that Rex is guilty.
Asa steadfastly sticks to her mantra that Rex is a family man and doesn't even use the services of sex workers. All the guests, even her own lawyer Macedonio, think she is in denial and blind to the evidence.
The footage in the house shows that this family lives in a physical and emotional mess. It seems that everyone accepts clutter and dysfunction in the house, it's normalized. Asa and Victoria refer to the investigation as “a raid” and feel very victimized by the encroachment of their home to find evidence.
So many family photos are shown and they all appear to show a normal looking family on vacation and going through life.
There is minimal inclusion about how the family feels about the victims or Rex’s sexual sadism, apparent in his internet use, without even considering the murders themselves.
