John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise

Gacy ostensibly voiced by Mel Blanc. Once you get past that, it is an eerily engaging doc done better than the recent Bundy or Ramirez docs from NetFlops. I enjoyed the interviews with the hardboiled detectives; firm-nerved storytellers and straight shooters that come across as characters from those great James Ellroy novels.

Much like Gacy overstayed his welcome after receiving the death sentence, so does this documentary. It starts off good, both speaking with investigators and the '92 interview with Gacy himself to go through the events leading up the discovery, investigation and trial.

However, after 4th episode, when the trial is concluded, it all comes crashing down to a snails pace. All investigators and original interviewees are no longer part of the doc, it's sporting an all new cast which focus a lot of inconclusive rumors and talking in circles on some specific evidence which should have been a smaller footnote in the story. All the content of episode 5 & 6 could have been condensed down and put in the prior 4 episodes and leave it at that. It really didn't need to go on for 2 hours.

That being said, it's still a good doc I would recommend watching the 4 first episodes. Then watch the last 2 only if you want some extra speculation.

Great documentary- but jay levine and his awful makeup and constant police bashing is pathetic .

Hindsight is 20/20- stop blaming the police for the sick predator murderer.

I recently found this and was quite impressed with it and the level of research put into John Wayne Gacy.

Just briefly, yes I agree that it was a little drug out and could have been 4 episodes, but the prison interviews with Gacy, which were quite in depth at times, make this well worth watching. Like a real life Mindhunter episode. Stay til the end...the stuff in the last 2 episodes makes you go HUH?
