1. The Confession Killer could well be Netflix's smartest crime saga yet
10 dec 2019 · As such, The Confession Killer is less of a whodunnit and more of a 'hedunnit?!' It is, in every way, a classic Netflix true crime documentary.
A grisly new series rehashes the tale of notorious serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. But is it a new low for the true crime epidemic, or a genius dig at our obsession with bloodshed?
2. Season 1 – The Confession Killer - Rotten Tomatoes
If The Confession Killer was simply intended to be a series about Lucas...it's a mediocre one at best. But if it's actually a sly jab at us and our obsession ...
In the 1980s, Henry Lee Lucas confessed to hundreds of murders, which allowed grieving families to get closure for the unsolved cases. There was no direct evidence linking Lucas to the crime scenes, but he convinced authorities of his involvement by being able to sketch victims' portraits and cite brutal details of each attack. But the legitimacy of his confessions were eventually questioned. Attorneys and journalists found impossibilities in Lucas' timeline, while DNA testing began to contradict his claims, which received media attention worldwide. This docuseries explores how Lucas -- once called America's most prolific serial killer -- was actually a complex figure entangled in a flawed justice system.

Robert Kenner and Taki Oldham tackle the curious case of a man who's confessed to too many crimes. Any podcast listener will tell you that the True Crime genre reigns supreme in the podcast charts, with heavy hitters like Serial, Casefile, Crime Junkie, and My Favorite Murder (that behemoth of questionable quality) being constants in watercooler conversation. But America’s obsession with true crime is nothing new. Crime sensationalism is as baked into our cultural identity as con men and Coca-Cola™. What Netflix’s new documentary series The Confession Killer asks is: what is the line between investigation and sensationalism? When serial killers and the law enforcement that pursues them become celebrities, how do we maintain objectivity when seeking the truth? At first, the story of Henry Lee Lucas appears straightforward: a rough-and-tumble drifter who was the likely suspect in the killing of 82-year old Kate Rich and 15-year old Becky Powell in North Texas, Lucas shocked law enforcement by not only confessing to the murders of Rich and Powell but 100 other women as well. Archive footage of Lucas’ arraignment shows the kind of courtroom chaos you’d expect to see on your average episode of How To Get Away With Murder. “What are you going to do about the hundred other women I killed?” From there, the number of killings Lucas confessed to grew. 150 victims. 360 victims. 600 victims. Lucas confessed to them all, from the Louisiana woods to the streets of Seattle. If thi...
