As documentaries go, Sons of Sam on Netflix is an eye opener.
Revisiting the infamous crimes of David Berkowitz in mid-70s New York City, it is a really well done look at what happened but moreso what didnt happen in the investigation.
It also examines the role the media played in the whole saga (both good and bad) as well as the relationship between the authorities and the newspapers (in particular).
Im only 2 parts through the 4 part series, but if you have any kind of fascination with true crime stories, police competance, the role of the occult in things, and the ramblings of a madman, this thing will hook you.
