Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist - Season 1
Trailer
The Federal Bureau of Investigation begins investigating the heinous crimes that took place in Erin, Pennsylvania, in 2003, where a group of people robbed a shop for stealing and killing people. As a result, the chases between these criminals and the federal police began. In the end, the mastermind of these crimes, Marjorie Armstrong, was arrested.
This fascinating four-part Netflix true crime doco investigates the 'Pizza Bomber' case, a bizarre bank heist which occurred in the town of Erie, Pennsylvania in 2003.
With Evil Genius there's actually a sense of discovery, and a crime spree so unusual that it genuinely approximates a Coen brothers movie, down to the quirky assortment of culprits and stooges.
Evil Genius twists the investigation into a story of compulsion. It is a compulsion for the cops, both state and federal, who follow it for fifteen years without closure.
For a series that features, by its own description, a "master manipulator," Evil Genius feels more like a confused, unwitting pawn than an adversary worthy of taking on the challenge to uncover the truth.
Perhaps the most startling thing about the whole enthralling enterprise is the way that the work of filmmakers Barbara Schroeder and Trey Borzillieri might have lined up their subjects for a potential new death-penalty case.
