Trailer for the documentary "Lover, Troublemaker, Murderer"/Netflix
Sting wrote the song "Every Breath You Take" in half an hour.
After performing it as the lead singer of The Police, he conquered the charts.
In fact, this song accounts for most of Sting's musical royalties to this day.
Not particularly surprising in light of the fact that in 2019 it was announced as the most played song in radio history, no less.
This is a song with a lot of charm - a soft, caressing, deceptive voice.
"One couple told me, 'That was our wedding song,'" Sting said later, "I thought to myself, 'Well, good luck to you.'"
Because "Every Breath You Take" may sound like a love song, and it is indeed about courtship, but of the psychotic kind that characterizes extreme harassers.
It is so scary that even its creator admitted that "I didn't know at first how diabolical the words I wrote were".
Pulis' big hit came out in 1983, almost a full decade before the Internet dealt a death blow to the Age of Innocence and brought many depressing Stings into our world.
Chat rooms created shortcuts and the stalking phenomenon registered an exponential increase long before the age of social networks.
One of them, special and rare, deals with the docu "Lover, Stalker, Killer" that recently appeared on Netflix.
A jaw dropping story.

The pattern of the story, of an innocent person falling victim to an internet scam, is familiar to quite a few series and movies, fictional and based on a true story, that you have seen in the past.
A post-divorce Midwestern mechanic is experimenting with the easy part of life, which mostly consists of casual, non-committal sex, until he decides he wants to settle down again.
A customer enters his garage, and a few days later he sees her on a dating site.
He decides to try, but after a short time decides enough is enough, the experiment fails.
The problem: she doesn't really get it.
Here you can think that there will be a one-dimensional plot in the style of "The Tinder Scam", but the sequel becomes violent, amazing and surpasses all imagination.
Sam Hobkinson, the director of the 90-minute docu, has a particular fondness for strange crimes and scams.
Three years ago he was praised for "Misha and the Wolves", which caused a disturbed chain of events that spanned a jubilee of years.
It is doubtful that even he knew then that a villager would fall to him due to an even crazier story.
"Lover, harasser, murderer" is so psychotic that if it was written as a script in Hollywood the producers would have thrown it in the trash because it was far-fetched.
The big twist in the plot is expected to leave you speechless and thinking of only three words: Wat de Pak.
The downside of this docu is the downside of almost every Netflix docu - visuals.
As always, almost, again here are mostly talking heads backed up by stills and cheap reproductions.
The uniqueness of "Mistress, Harassment, Murderer" compared to other films in the genre lies in the fact that the story here is truly special and does not require eye contact.
In fact, if it had been presented as a podcast it would have been just as impressive and stressful.
Due to this, the disadvantage in authentic videos is less significant in this case.

"Lover, troublemaker, killer"/Netflix
In recent years, Netflix has released quite a few films and docu-series about crooks, harassers and murderers.
One of them, "Nightmare American Style", came out just last month and immediately fell into the trap of banality.
In "Lover, Troublemaker, Murderer" there are several tangents, but it is less clichéd and does not tend to dwell on the strings of anger that grow from injustice against humanity, but rather on the mechanisms of surprise and especially on the thought that this could happen to any of us if we only make a wrong turn in our lives.
Even after watching this docu you might think to yourself "Well, America, a nation of lunatics", you might not think too much about it but rush off to the next binge.
What is quite certain is that you will watch it until the end, since it is well told, unfolds several jaw-dropping twists and, above all, is enjoyable.
As a famous song essay you may have once heard on the radio - every breath he takes, you will follow him.
"Lover, Troublemaker, Murderer" is available on Netflix.
