There's a dual perspective. The scenes alternate between the Seawater family's experiences, and insights from police, journalists, and experts like Robert Graysmith. The Seawater siblings' detail how their view of Allen transformed from admiration to horror as his true nature is revealed.
It’s different from the other Zodiac documentaries. While it does dive into the gruesome details of the crimes, it balances this with a tender examination of the family's relationship with Allen, illustrating the complexity of their feelings and the main betrayal. It’s a fresh perspective on a familiar tale, introducing the personal tragedies involved.
WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the docu-series on Netflix or watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:07).
