American Netflix viewers are appalled by a new documentary on a British paedophile, Jimmy Savile.

After seeing a new Netflix documentary detailing Jimmy Savile’s misdeeds, audiences in the United States have expressed their outrage.

 

Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story, which focuses on the life and crimes of the TV host and paedophile, was launched on the streaming site Tuesday.

When Savile’s misdeeds were exposed in 2012, they made headlines all around the world, although the story gained significantly more attention in his own United Kingdom than in the United States and elsewhere.

 

On Twitter, numerous American and international viewers said they were ignorant of the circumstances of Savile’s case, with many of them outraged to learn of Savile’s serial sexual assault.

“As an American, I knew very little about Jimmy Savile,” one viewer remarked. “I feel like I need to wash for days after viewing the programme.” “You are a vile creature.”

 

“I’m sad to find today that someone named Jimmy Savile ever existed.” Another person remarked, “I loved it more when I was unaware.”

 

“I had heard about Jimmy Savile via an English colleague,” a Twitter user from Canada remarked. “I just finished watching his documentary on #Netflix. What a scathing condemnation of the celebrity cult.”
