I Am a Killer just hit the Netflix top 10 - and it s creepy as hell

By Kelly Woo published 1 September 2022 Season 3 of the true crime docuseries introduces more confessed murderers (Image credit: Netflix) Many true crime series are whodunnits that are never fully answered, but in the Netflix docuseries I Am a Killer, the murderer's identity isn't in doubt - because they confessed. I Am a Killer season 3, which dropped on Aug. 30 with six new episodes, has already rocketed up the Netflix Top 10 list. It's the latest in a string of hit Netflix true crime documentaries, following I Just Killed My Dad, My Daughter's Killer and Girl in the Picture. Here's what you should know about I Am a Killer.

What is I Am a Killer about

I Am a Killer conducts exclusive interviews with death row inmates who are in maximum-security prisons across the U.S. after confessing to capital murder. They give firsthand accounts of their crimes, explain their motivations and reflect on their actions after time spent behind bars. The show also talks to their victims' families, their own families and friends, law enforcement, journalists and interested observers to add context. In some cases, the inmate or their supporters blame their upbringing, mental health or societal forces. Others question the idea of capital punishment itself. And sometimes, the confession itself is called into doubt.

I Am a Killer season 3 reviews

I Am a Killer season 3 doesn't have many reviews from critics, so it doesn't have a Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab) rating. Decider's Johnny Loftus (opens in new tab) recommends streaming the new season, writing, "I Am a Killer is dour, grim, somber stuff. But its straightforward style should continue to appeal to true crime fans, and it retains the hook of its confessions coming right at the viewer, straight from the murders themselves." Jordan Russell Lyon at Ready Steady Cut (opens in new tab) says, "Overall, I Am a Killer is an uncomfortable watch; there's no other way to describe the show. But it's a great watch that will totally please true crime fans."

Should you stream I Am a Killer season 3?

Within the vast true crime genre, I Am a Killer is somewhat unique. Not many documentaries include the perspective of the criminal. It makes for a fascinating look at the "why," not just the "who," "what," "when" and "where" of the case. While there's no case to solve, I Am a Killer does provide an insightful and thought-provoking examination of the criminal justice system. With a title like that, you'd expect a more black-and-white take on each situation, but you may wind up seeing things in shades of gray.Today's best Roku dealsReduced Price (opens in new tab)Roku Streaming Stick 4K (2021) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$49.99 (opens in new tab)$39.98 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$69.62 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Roku Streaming Stick Plus (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$55 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Roku Ultra 4K (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$98 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Roku Streambar (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$129.99 (opens in new tab)$113 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesWe check over 250 million products every day for the best prices
