Another well-made serial killer docuseries from Netflix, although they're on shakier ground here with less material. The first episode, chronicling the Son of Sam slayings in '70s New York, is gripping; the next three follow one ex-reporter's obsession with proving that a Satanic cult was linked to the crimes, but his evidence is flimsy at best. Thus it becomes sort of an exploration of one man's obsession with the case in a similar way to Robert Graysmith's obsession with the Zodiac killer, but you get the impression that Maury Terry is no Graysmith and some parts here I don't buy at all. Interesting stuff, and I plan to read his book at some point to see if he has more than just theories.
