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?

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.

While there were NO NEW bombshells revealed in this docu-series it definitely held our interest for the entire 6 episodes, so much so we binge watched over two nights.

As I was a young kid when these events occurred, I had only passing knowledge of the details of the 10yrs that Gacy was terrorizing Chicago.

Even if you think you know everything about John Wayne Gacy, I predict this series will introduce facts, questions and then out-right-confusion regarding the lack of follow-up by then agents of the Police and even CURRENT Police/DA's. There definitely seems to be a general LACK of will to answer, explore or investigate fact, details or questions regard the still UNKNOWN victims of this monster. Sadly, this series reenforces the often-held negative view of the Chicago Police Dept (Suffolk County to be precise).

The Love of a Mom is on full display as are the still-fresh wounds the Family members continue to suffer from.

I would definitely recommend this for any history buffs or those enamored by the realities of the 70's & 80's, specifically the innocence and naivety of that generation; as well as anyone interested in a case-study of how the "forgettable" can become UN-forgettable.

Great documentary series. Well paced I thought even though it was 6 episodes. The interviews are great to see. It was very good up until the conspiracy stuff in the last episode. Are there some questions about others involved, perhaps, but Gacy was as guilty as they come. Everyone is so obsessed with child trafficking ring conspiracies.

This is not the same as reading the book Killer Clown written by Terry Sullivan lead prosecutor in the Gacy case, which I have.

This documentary offers never before seen interviews with Gacy from prison. It also includes interviews with families of the victims. I grew up in Northwest suburban Chicago still live here , so this case is of most interest to me I was 18 years old when John Gacy was arrested and the case unfolded I remember it very well. I've read several books on this case i've read several books on this case Killer Clown was by far the best Even after reading books on the case I recommend this. It is an excellent documentary that offers information I have never read and is worth watching!

My wife and I watched the six episodes over 2 nights and thought it was very good. It brought back memories of watching the evening news with our parents to get an update on what they found at "Gacy's house" each evening.

We were both 12 years old when these crimes were discovered and obviously confused by some of the news updates. Though we will never forget the Gacy story, this documentary reminded each of us of information we had forgotten and 1-2 we were unaware of. Most of the show we recalled everything but the back stories made it very interesting, especially what the Des Plaines police officers shared. Great job by each of them.

Jay Levine should keep his mouth shut. He always tried to sensationalize every bit of information he shared when he was a reporter and he still tried in this show...yawn!

This was billed as "hear Gacy speak for the first time", and yes he does and it is fascinating - but the complete interview seems to be only 30 - 40 minutes long and for 5 of the 6 episodes it is just padding. I was actually starting to fall asleep in places as the constant repetition over 5 episodes was so monotonous. The 6th episode "It Never Ends" was very good and did demonstrate that there was possibly more investigating that could have been done - and how arrogant the authorities are when it comes to others shining a light on this case. It would have made a good 3 part series.

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

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.

True crime documentary i believe ive ever seen, and the name gacy mustve passed me by in silence( im ashamed but im norwegian) .because ive heard, seen and read alot about these specimens of humankind that due to some obvious reason go ahead and kill people, like todays kids does with the nintendo 3ds hunting for pokemons in every crook and nanny on the street sidewalks or on the city market square.

Well now i know and we are still waiting for more to come due to an humble piece of garden turf that seemingly has got something sinister looming over it making it impossible to excavate , a dig that may, if complete and done under the surveillance of objective parties, give rest and closure to the many 10's of thousands that still waits for an answer to the unidentified 8,7 or 6 thats left unidentified in the gacy case...

its a terrible thought that true crime becomes highly addictive entertainment, but tracy ullman, and alison true has made a serie thats filled with twists and surprises, and a superdynamical plotting to make everyone go to the binge counter, and definately ask for more if so happens. Its the 8th wonder of true crime productions thinks the grumpy old man.

Hope they release this outside of the US! Because unless you live there one has to stream this online for free to see it. I hope Netflix or someone else would buy it from Peacock because it's def worth watching for everyone.

It was okay..... Dateline goes more in depth about murders. Sure we got a deeper look into Gacy's life. We only got Gacy's retellings on maybe 3 victims? This wasn't anything like a true crime documentary. It was very disappointing overall. It only got a four star from me, because there isn't much out there about him. So I find it a bit of a novelty. This was more of a profile on Gacy, not a true crime documentary. If you came for a true crime documentaries, don't waste your time....

Within 20 minutes any viewer will be quickly disappointed. To say that this drags on and on is an understatement . It's all filler and speculation and the throw in 20 seconds of Gacy talking to maintain interest.

Most everyone will start skipping ahead after a while and I found myself wondering why this project was even created. Nothing happens, nothing new is explained or uncovered. Mostly it's just victim interviews and a sad attempt at creating closure for them. Not at all what any viewer expected or wanted to see. Especially for 6 hours.

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.

Once again a docuseries were decrepit and senile old cops and reporters get to drool on and on about a once great crime they were part of from 1978. Why the pay networks think there stores are worth the time they took to make is beyond me. This poor offering was from the Peacock. NBC version of the now defunct CBS All Access that is now called Paramount Plus! What they take 6 episodes or 5 hours and 8 minutes to get across you can read in less then 45 minutes!

Does this monster really deserve not one documentary but a a whole series? Why? To convince us that he was just like any other hard-working guy who had a wife and children who loved him, a job, friends? He was a monster, his victims deserve a documentary, not him! I watched 2 episodes and that was enough.

Wayyyyy too drawn out with basically the same stuff over and over. I love crime documentaries but this was terrible. I stopped truly watching after one episode and just read the wiki article, which had more info in less time. Boring.
