The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness is the latest true crime documentary series to hit Netflix. The series looks at the case of the Son of Sam killings, of which David Berkowitz was found guilty, and the subsequent investigation of journalist Maury Terry, who believed Berkowitz wasn’t alone and acted as part of cult.
Berkowitz is currently serving a life sentence for killing six people and wounding seven others. He became known as the Son of Sam through letters he had left at crime scenes, and police and the media also called him the .44 Caliber Killer – because of the gun he used. His case became one of the most notorious in New York history, but the Netflix documentary doesn’t quite squeeze all the details in.
