Why Watch This

This is one of the most extensive direct-interview archives of any figure in the true crime catalogue — 80 hours across three years gives Kaczynski unusual room to articulate his own reasoning, which makes the series more unsettling than a shorter, more curated interview would be.

If hearing an offender's own extended reasoning interested you, Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes and My Father, the BTK Killer use similarly direct, first-person access.
