The identity of the serial murderer known as the Zodiac Killer has been confounding investigators for over 50 years. An unlikely and unconventional character may have finally cracked America's most famous cold case by questioning if the reason the killer has never been caught, is because he never existed in the first place. The Zodiac, who coined the name in a series of taunting letters and cards that he mailed to regional newspapers, operated in Northern California in the late 1960s. Some of the letters included cryptograms, or ciphers, in which the killer claimed that he was collecting his victims as slaves for the afterlife.

While the ideas behind this documentary are not novel -- even among Zodiac true-believers -- they are worth exploring. Go to Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider 07/12/2023
Here’s a docuseries for all of the online crime sleuths out there... [and] the “Zodiac community.” That vein of determined speculation is the strongest draw here, beyond the basics of the true crime genre. Go to Full Review David Reddish MovieWeb 07/10/2023

The biggest mystery here is why amateur detectives form so-called online "communities" think they can solve age-old cases without the benefit of access to training or actual evidence files. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zach C 07/15/2023 This has got to be the absolute worst "theory" of the zodiac case of all time. First of all you can punch holes in this entire idea pushed by the series almost immediately. They ignore every fact that disagrees with their thesis and call the loosest most lofty pieces of information as "facts" or "wins" for the theory. This is nothing but a cash grab using the zodiac in an age of true crime fans being more numerous than ever. See more Read all reviews
