Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy

Really great series. Through eight episodes, it gives a very detailed and well-researched portrayal of Gacys crimes, but what impressed me the most is that it doesn't focus on him, but on the victims and the entire system that ignored them.

At the end of each episode, real clips and photos of the victims are included, which is very nicely done and shows that they wanted to show respect for the victims.

Also, the series shows very well how the police at that time easily overlooked reports because Gacy was honorable citizen and a entrepreneur. Police only launched an investigation after someone from the middle class went missing.

Michael Chernus really did a great job in his role. He really deserved an Emmy!!

I'm glad they didn't fully focus on Gacy-they made sure to tell the victims stories and their families stories. We all know what horrible things he did to them-we don't need to see it over again and I'm sure the families of the victims feel the same. This was great. More of this please. Ryan Murphy just needs to stop.

The actor that plays Gacy is phenomenal...creepy close. This is considered a docudrama but a lot of it is quite true and you have to know Gacy's stories and his crimes to know what's what. It is not graphic thankfully but still packed a punch with me in the disturbing department. Giving us the stories of some of the victims from their perspective was smart... there was no room for those people who romance a killer or for any possible sympathy. As the mother of boys at one point I had to stop and watch something else to clear my mind. It was done well.

If you were hoping for more of a Mindhunter version of Monster instead of the American Horror Story we got then this is for you. I'm only two episodes in and already glued to the screen. I guess Peacock decided they'd take over and do it right. Looking forward to any Devil In Disguise series of the future.

Devil in Disguise has gotten nothing but great reviews by both critics and the audience alike, it currently has a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. Because of that I has high expectations. This not only met those expectations but surpassed them. I binged all 8 episodes over the weekend. It's a very well acted and written true crime series. Obviously, everyone feels bad for the victims and their families but where other serial killer series focuses more on showing how brutal the murders were and try to shock you, this concentrates more on the effect it had on the victims families. All the actors do a good job in this but it's Michael Chernus as John Wayne Gacy who stands out the most.
