Where to Watch Boston Strangler
Boston Strangler Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025Crazed killer confounds cops and keeps community on caution, while columnists Carrie Coon, Chris Cooper and Keira K-Nightly chronicled the cases. Enjoyed this quite a bit. It’s not as cinematically riveting as, say, David Fincher’s Zodiac but it also doesn’t glamorize the killer or the violence in any way. I’m always up these kinds of investigative thrillers and could watch them endlessly. Plus I have a Carrie Coon bias.
