Serial killers documentaries on youtube3/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Producer Rod Blackhurst (“Amanda Knox”) and the NBC News Studios documentary team have delivered a consistently engrossing work that follows the now familiar docuseries blueprint, starting with the elegant but haunting opening titles. Kunkle and Sullivan recall the case on “Devil in Disguise.” Sun-Times file Prosecutors Bill Kunkle (from left), Robert Egan and Terry Sullivan leave court after a jury found John Wayne Gacy guilty on all counts in 1980. More than a quarter-century after Gacy was put to death by lethal injection in the Stateville Correctional Center in Will County as a mob outside cheered and sang, “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye,” we see this stunningly ordinary-looking man looking calm and comfortable as he gives an extensive interview to legendary FBI profiler Robert Ressler in 1992 - an interview that is parceled out over the course of the series, reminding us of what an infuriatingly deceitful monster Gacy was, as he matter-of-factly gives details of particular murders one moment, and then posits obscenely absurdist theories and alibis the next. Now the NBCUniversal streaming platform Peacock is making its first venture into the true crime genre with the six-part series “John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise,” arguably the most comprehensive and fascinating - and yes, disturbing and sometimes macabre - telling of one of the darkest chapters in Chicago and American history. A six-part docuseries premiering Thursday on Peacock.
