Why Watch This

Berkowitz's original claim of demonic possession via a neighbor's dog became one of the most infamous excuses in serial killer history, and the series lays that claim alongside his later, contradictory admissions, letting the inconsistency speak for itself.

If the Son of Sam's shifting, contradictory account interested you, Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes shows a similarly unreliable narrator being methodically checked against the evidence.
