This 4th entry in the Conversations with a Killer documentary series on Netflix is a focused 3 episode series of roughly an hour each, about serial killer Berkowitz’s life. It tells the story of how David Berkowitz scared New York city residents for nearly a whole year in the 1970’s.

The series begins with Jack Jones, a prison reporter who has interviewed many murderers, receiving a letter from David Berkowitz. David was a murderer known for targeting women and not much was known about him or his modus operandi. Jones knew he had the opportunity to break the most sensational story of the time and he took it.

David Berkowitz was interviewed during his imprisonment in Attica and the three episodes encompass taped interviews with the killer describing his acts of violence and his motivations thereof.
