So, 'Poisonous Women' is a documentary that dives into this fascinating angle of history where women have used poison as a weapon. The tone is pretty somber yet captivating, and it balances between the science of poisons and some chilling historical anecdotes. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to digest some heavy material, but it never lags. It’s distinctive in how it combines the dark allure of these stories with a scientific lens, making it more than just a recounting of murders. You get a sense of the craft behind the poisons and the methods of detection. The practical effects are minimal, but the real-life implications are just... eerie. Definitely worth a watch if you’re into the darker side of human nature and history.
