Shows like Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy

These crime dramas examine the mechanics of investigations into serial offenders. They focus on the legal proceedings, the detectives tasked with pinning down elusive killers, and the period settings that shaped these grim chapters of history.

Expect a shift toward psychological profiling and the procedural grind of solving cold-blooded murders. Those drawn to the 1970s Illinois backdrop and the dark implications of the Gacy case will find a similar methodical focus in DAHMER Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and The Long Shadow.
