Season 1 Review:
The series does well to take its subject as seriously as a murder docuseries might. ... One goal of true crime shows is shock. Another is relatability. What makes stories like John’s and Sarah’s so troubling (and captivating) is how easily we can imagine ourselves falling prey to the same predator. But The Puppet Master mostly fails to evoke that feeling.

Quite interesting take and a lot of twists and turns. Netflix now really knows how to do true crime content.
