The Confession Killer Review

Anything with a mysterious, chilling and grisly undertone sells well and Netflix knows it. We love a nicely told tale of myths, murder and redemption and ‘the confession killer’ accomplishes that well enough.

It’s a documentary series exploring a very peculiar case of Henry Lee Lucas, the man who confessed to hundreds of crimes, and narrated gruesome stories of his killings in excruciating detail. The series unravels his claims and puts forward the actual truth of the catastrophe. It's apparent that quite a lot of research went into the show and the attention to detail is appreciable of the series, the downside, however, is the length of episodes that feel too long at times.

We are drawn to different, taboo and unknown and 'the confession killer' is no exception. It’s mysterious and unsettling. The series will keep you hooked throughout.
