Too often, the series becomes rote in its investigative imagery. The visual resemblance to other Netflix crime documentaries remains a turnoff.

In the more than capable hands of director Joshua Zeman, The Sons of Sam becomes as much a profile of Terry's obsessive attempts to re-open the case...

Like so many of Netflix's murder docs, there is a grim thrill to it all and it does hook you in, but it's ultimately hollow.

An occasionally interesting story, full of chilling possibility. But it also misses the dark forest for the trees.
