Black Bird

We get so many stories of serial killers that try to tackle the psychology of the killer. This is one of the few that does so in a way that feels authentic. Absolute powerhouse performances by both leads.

Too obviously high on its own supply of "Deviant but fun, you know?" A few lingering dramatic crane shots of girls moving away for the prestige-tv factor. This may be based on true events, it might even be 99% close to the real events, yet nowhere in the overproduced pilot it resembles anything realistic; rendering the potentially interesting story inert. The needledrops are LOUD moodkillers, slaps in the face, and the final straw to quit. I don't think i like Egerton very much, ever..

The ending feels a bit rushed and the story's slightly disappointing, but the performances and some good film making really hold it up.

Almost as good as Mindhunter. It's just more barebones and reduced to few characters, but the gripping aspect is there.

What a send-off for Ray Liotta

This is an exceptional fictionalisation, with multiple extraordinary elements. The first one is Hauser; he inched past the Serial Killers in Mindhunters. The way he depicted Larry Hall is blood-curdling; it just hits you at a very elemental level: how fundamentally flawed this person is and how he is living in his own reality. The second aspect is music; it is an excellent demonstration of working the music into the fabric of the story. The confession scene in E5 will stay with me for a while.

Well acted, compelling, and I give it credit for seemingly staying accurate. But it may tread a bit close towards sympathy for the killer. Part of me wonders if they exaggerated the killers eccentric traits.

Incredible acting and a suspenseful plot. Dialogue is a little stiff in places, but still a gripping watch.
