Spencer Matthews is set to front a daring new Channel 4 documentary that questions everything we think we know about psychopathy. Produced by Mettlemouse and titled Spencer Matthews: Am I a Psychopath, the film dives into modern clinical research and challenges the traditional view of what it means to be a psychopath. At its core is a provocative question: can someone be a "good" psychopath?
The documentary blends medical insight with contemporary perspectives as Matthews examines whether he might carry psychopathic traits himself. Speaking about the project, he admitted to a long-standing fascination with the subject and a personal curiosity about his own personality. "I was compelled to discover more," he said, describing the journey as both scientific and deeply personal.
Channel 4's Sarah Tyekiff called the film an intimate and thought-provoking exploration of how society defines psychopathy today. Executive producer Genna Gibson added that psychopaths are not only the stuff of Hollywood thrillers, but can be found among friends, colleagues and family. By investigating traits such as fearlessness and emotional detachment, the film explores whether these characteristics can ever be seen as advantageous, while asking whether they are shaped by nature or nurture.
