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!

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

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 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.

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.
