165. Documentary Review: Last Call, When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York

Written By Alienist Entertainment

This week the docs review the 4 part MAX documentary series "Last Call Killer: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York”. A rare 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes has gotten this well produced series a great deal of exposure on a serial killer in early 1990's New York who systematically and brutally murdered a number of gay men. The documentary does a beautiful job lifting the victims lives out of a true crime narrative, while laying out the incompetence and indifference of the investigators at the time.
