The TVI Take

Trey Borzillieri and Barbara Schroeder's 2018 Netflix four-part documentary about the Pizza Bomber case (the 2003 Brian Wells robbery / homicide / explosion in Erie, Pennsylvania). The structural commitment to letting Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong's actual recorded interviews carry the documentary is rare true-crime work that gives the antagonist character-depth without endorsement.
