Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer (Season 1)

Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer (2021) is a Netflix true-crime docuseries you can watch online on iFILM. It pulls you back to 1970s Manhattan, when Times Square was a neon-lit strip of peep shows and a predator the press dubbed the "Torso Killer" hunted there freely.

Director Joe Berlinger traces the years-long search for a man who preyed on women in the city's sex trade. Detectives, reporters and locals who knew the block fill in a New York that no longer exists, backed by raw archival footage. As the second chapter of Netflix's Crime Scene anthology, it keeps a habit Berlinger showed in Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes — studying the city that let the crimes go unseen as much as the killer himself.

This one is for viewers who want true crime without cheap shock: the victims and the era get more screen time than the murderer. Stream Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer online on iFILM.
