Synopsis
Evil Genius (2018), Season 1 — watch this four-part Netflix true-crime documentary online on iFILM, built around one of the stranger cases the FBI ever worked.
It begins in Erie, Pennsylvania. A pizza delivery man walks into a bank with a bomb locked around his neck, robs it, and dies when the device goes off. Hostage or accomplice? Nobody is sure. A body found in a nearby freezer points investigators toward a brilliant woman living with severe personality disorders. From there the season works through dead suspects, jailhouse talk, plea deals and a verdict that never quite closes the file.
Director Trey Borzillieri spent more than a decade on the story and knew one of the players personally, which is how the footage reaches places a normal crew never could. The pull isn't the answer at the end — it's how tangled the people around the crime turn out to be. Stream Evil Genius Season 1 online on iFILM.
