Hey everyone,
Based on a true story, 'The Serpent' tells the story about a mischevious 'gem dealer' who was able to find new clients by going to bars and clubs, ensure that they were drinking alcohol, before making them feel really ill with 'medicine' and leaving their remains in various places such as Nepal and Hong Kong. He was known to many of changing his identify, using fake passports and changing the photos in order to sneak past security, being in close contact with different police units some of which were his friends, and befriending people on the journey and getting rid of them when they were no use to him anymore.
The 8 part film series was incredibly interesting to watch, and it shows how easy the criminals think it is for them to continue doing their crimes, but with the correct investigation teams and police, they will eventually be caught out and taken to prison. The actual con man was held in a prison until 2020 but we are unsure where the man is now. I would recommend watching this series as films based on true stories are usually told really well and it gives you a full insight of the kind of lives the criminals had before being caught, or how amazing they thought their lives would be until found by those who want to take them down!
