Evil Genius
On Netflix
A taut, bewildering true-crime miniseries that escalates from a bizarre murder into increasingly surreal conspiracy, sustained by investigative rigor and genuine narrative uncertainty.
This baffling true crime story starts with the grisly death of a pizza man who robs a bank with a bomb around his neck - and gets weirder from there.
