Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist - Season 1
2003 seems to be a year of grief for the entire world, especially Pennsylvania, which has been attacked by a group of people with the aim of stealing a host of shops and banks. More than 20 people were killed in the attacks. But in the end, the gang, led by a 40-year-old Marjorie Armstrong, was arrested.
This fascinating four-part Netflix true crime doco investigates the 'Pizza Bomber' case, a bizarre bank heist which occurred in the town of Erie, Pennsylvania in 2003.
With Evil Genius there's actually a sense of discovery, and a crime spree so unusual that it genuinely approximates a Coen brothers movie, down to the quirky assortment of culprits and stooges.
Evil Genius twists the investigation into a story of compulsion. It is a compulsion for the cops, both state and federal, who follow it for fifteen years without closure.
For a series that features, by its own description, a "master manipulator," Evil Genius feels more like a confused, unwitting pawn than an adversary worthy of taking on the challenge to uncover the truth.
Perhaps the most startling thing about the whole enthralling enterprise is the way that the work of filmmakers Barbara Schroeder and Trey Borzillieri might have lined up their subjects for a potential new death-penalty case.
