Les Fils de Sam : L'horreur sans fin

This new true crime series from Netflix disappointed me, but fans of similarly oriented stuff will probably not be swearing explicitly. I was expecting a classic detective story in the style of Night Stalker, where a notorious serial killer case would be investigated and we would follow the detective work of the police officers and see how they catch the killer. That is what I like, but unfortunately, this mini-series takes a completely different direction than I would want, one that didn't entertain me much. The storyline with David Berkowitz is more or less wrapped up in the 1st episode, so if you're going into it because of him, you will be disappointed. The next three episodes focus on a writer obsessed with the case and convinced that the murders were part of a Satanic cult. So, there are a bunch of conspiracy theories that unfortunately don't entertain me much. There are a few interesting dialogues and thoughts, and those who enjoy occultism might find it appealing. Personally, it didn't captivate me too much, documentaries are not my strong suit, and they only entertain me if they are presented explicitly and engagingly like in Night Stalker or Don't F**k with Cats. 6.5/10.
