Another in the long line of expansive Netflix true crime series that we've become accustomed to over the past few years, "Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes" isn't quite on the level of "The Confession Killer" or (in non-Netflix territory) "O.J.: Made in America" but it's still a fairly good look at the downfall of one of America's most infamous serial killers. The gimmick here is that the documentary is interspersed with audio clips of Gacy. This doesn't honestly add much to the story being told by its interviewees and video/photo footage, but I guess you have to improvise some sort of hook when you're telling a true crime story this familiar. And if you are familiar with the story, you're not likely to learn anything new here, but it remains a worthy series to check out if you don't have the time or patience for Terry Sullivan's excellent book "Killer Clown: The John Wayne Gacy Murders".
