A series that is right up the alley of true crime fans.
In six episodes real life crimes are analyzed, and relayed using archive and found footage, as well as interviews with the convicted murderers.
‘I Am A Killer’ is considered one of the best doc-series in the true crime genre, as it goes above and beyond the sordid details, which true enough, it does cover, but it also covers the narratives of the people involved in the terrible tragedies it addresses.
