Overall, the docuseries is gripping, often leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as it builds toward major revelations. Go to Full Review
Rohan Naahar The Indian Express 10/31/2024
The filmmaking is unremarkable; very basic interviews are stitched together with archive photos and home videos. But the show offsets the gory details with a ground-level perspective that is often lacking in programming of this kind. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 10/28/2024

Shaun R @Shaun666 Jul 27 Of all the theories and suspects in the Zodiac case, this is definitely one of the more credible documentaries and Arthur Leigh Allen the likely suspect. Top notch. See more Michael C. @MikeTV Jul 5 I’ve been fascinated by the Zodiac since the mid 90’s. I’ve read the book twice seen every movie and documentary. This documentary may be my favorite so far. Very well done. See more Jan S @ProfBetze 12/29/2024 Incredible documentary, truly captivating. See more David F @RT34372367 12/23/2024 This is a well-made documentary on the Zodiac Killer, skillfully contrasting the life of the primary suspect with the known actions of the infamous killer. The production has a familiar Netflix style, relying on moody visuals and dramatic music, sometimes filling in with recreated scenes when original footage isn’t available. The real strength of the film lies in the interviews with people close to the case, including family members of the suspect and investigators. However, the documentary ends inconclusively, which feels a bit anticlimactic after focusing so heavily on Arthur Allen as the prime suspect throughout. See more Shari L @RT09686415 12/03/2024 It's good to revisit this and learn new details from people that were around him a lot. I wish this documentary didn't feel the need to have CONSTANT music playing in the back ground. It's meant to build suspense and it does at times but even when people are giving their testimonials it's going on and on. LOL! It makes it feel like one very long trailer. See more David F @dfulmer 11/19/2024 This documentary about the notorious California serial killer is both a good true crime documentary and a fascinating story about some people who knew the man who was and is one of the prime suspects in the killings.
