I just watched "The Confession Killer" on Netflix. It's about Henry Lee Lucas. I thought it was wonderful. Twists and turns! 2019 series and got a 7.8 rating on IMDB.

The Confession Killer (TV Mini-Series 2019) - IMDb

"Henry Lee Lucas was known as America's most prolific serial killer, admitting to hundreds of murders, but, as DNA results contradict his confessions, will they expose the biggest criminal justice hoax in U.S. history?"

Great TOP movies. Many of them I had to see. And I really liked them. I have not seen some of the films from the TOP, so I will definitely review it soon.

9-In Cold Blood (1967-U.S.-2:13) A grayscale rendition of the Clutter Family massacre

4-True Confessions (1981-U.S.-1:50) A film inspired by the unsolved Black Dahlia murder

3-10 Rillington Place (1971-U.K.-1:51) The crimes of serial killer John Christie

2-The Young Poisoner's Handbook (1994-U.K.-1:39) The serial murders of Graham Young

1-White Mischief (1988-U.K.-1:48) The unsolved murder of Lord Errol

I just learned something fascinating today-#9 and #10 are connected in crime history. Truman Capote, who wrote In Cold Blood after interviewing the Clutter Family murderers, was essentially kidnapped when he was 10 years old by a 16-year-old girl who had a strange romantic interest in him. That girl was future serial killer Martha Beck who, along with fellow Lonely Hearts Killer Raymond Fernandez, murdered 3-20 people in the late 1940s. They were both executed in the electric chair in 1951. Obviously, Truman survived.
