This is not feel-good television or easy watching after a long day at work. This is challenging, distressing and harrowing storytelling about some of the worst things humanity has ever witnessed. But like so many similar shows in the genre, "Devil" can't transcend beyond a rehash of the facts.

Macmanus expertly weaves in how Gacy was brought to justice and highlights both the dogged determination of those involved with the law — detective Rafael Tover (Gabriel Luna) and prosecutor Bill Kunkle (Chris Sullivan) — as well as how the system failed to stop Gacy before. It adds depth and context, but it is the overwhelming sadness over how Gacy robbed these boys and young men of their futures that hits the hardest.

Devil in Disguise makes a lot of unexpected choices that set it apart both from the Monster franchise and typical true-crime genre fare.
