Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes Review – A disturbing and comprehensive look at David Berkowitz

Season 1 Episode Guide Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Out of all the true crime series on Netflix, Conversations with a Killer is one of the most chillingly intimate. With a unique hook of letting the killers themselves speak about their crimes, alongside re-enactments of these heinous crimes, some of the worst serial killers in history walk us through their reign of terror. This time around, the spotlight falls on The Son of Sam Tapes, which shines a light on the maniacal, egotistical David Berkowitz. Shooting his victims on the street or while sitting in parked cars, Berkowitz killed six people in total and wounded seven others during his rampage, gripping the city of New York in a stranglehold of fear. Feeling like an outsider all his life, Berkowitz was one of the more dangerous and unpredictable killers because on the outside, he was just an ordinary guy. He socialized with others, fell in with a decent crowd, patriotically fought for his country, and bounced around various odd-jobs. However, as we hear from various interviews with police officers, survivors and psychologists, underneath that façade Berkowitz was a 'walking, seething cauldron of rage'. This was a man desperate to be seen; a man willing to do whatever it took to get that attention, even if it meant killing innocent people. This three part docu-series peels back the smirking, nonchalant façade of this killer to uncover the real motives and reasoning behind his multiple killings. Each episode takes the usual hook from the Conversations with a Killer series, bouncing between two timelines. The first showcases recorded interviews of Berkowitz recounting his murders while behind bars. The other, jumps back to the chronological timeline of said murders and the police investigation that was underway at the time. The first episode looks at Berkowitz's family life, including his upbringing and lead-up to the first murders, before episode 2 tightens the screw and sees the origin of the .44 calibre gun, Berkowitz's inspiration derived from Taxi Driver and the start of taunting notes to the police. Notes which sport specific references to 'Mr Monster' and 'Son of Sam'. The third episode then focuses on a big break in the case, a shocking (but thankfully botched) grand finale bloodbath Berkowitz initially had planned, and his eventual arrest. In fact one of the most shocking moments comes when the police finally do capture David Berkowitz. He turned to the police, smirked and uttered: 'well you got me, what took you so long?' However, the story itself doesn't end there, as the final 10-15 minutes of the documentary feature another victim Berkowitz missed out recounting their story. We also see random theories and ideas (including the Twelve Disciples of Hell) and word from Berkowitz himself (as recent as 2024) about how he feels regarding the murders. The show also features (especially late on) the role of mainstream media and newspapers at the time. Hearing from Jimmy Breslin's son in particular, we see some of the shocking headlines that the newspapers ran with at the time. One in particular even includes Breslin basically egging on our killer to hit again. Overall though, The Son of Sam Tapes is a pretty comprehensive breakdown of Berkowitz and his reign of terror. It's hard to grasp just how fear-struck and panicked New York was at the time of Berkowitz's killing spree, but Conversations with a Killer does a decent job of showcasing some of this within the three episodes. This is a deeply affecting and in-depth documentary, and essential viewing for anyone who wants the complete story of this serial killer.

'I want to address this because the comments I've received are a reminder of how little we often know about what someone is really going through,' Recchia began. The TV star continued, 'Everyone has seen a very small part of my life through a lens. I am constantly compared to a version of myself from a short time when, truthfully, I was really struggling. The 29-year-old reality television personality, who will next appear on Netflix's Perfect Match, told her Instagram followers she's in a 'healthier place' after one asked for her 'weight loss routine'; pictured in 2022 'Toward the end of last year, I also faced health issues that impacted my body in ways I couldn't control.

She revealed in the missive that she first started considering the surgery when she was 17-years-old. 'I never heard anyone talk about this procedure, and I felt so defeated by my body. I had waited years for this. And the moment I opened my eyes and got off the table, I knew my life had changed — for the better,' she wrote about the experience. 'My body felt different. Lighter. For the first time in over a decade, I didn't have back pain,' she added. 'I'm just super excited to be the same me, but more comfortable.'

'Still, I was scared to hit post, thinking people would drag me for getting work done.' Rachel first became part of The Bachelor during season 26 in 2022. She went on to appear as co-lead alongside Gabby Windey on The Bachelorette in season 19. The Florida-bred commercial pilot then appeared on season nine of Bachelor in Paradise season 9 after calling off her engagement to Tino Franco.

S Club 7 'is in talks with Netflix to make documentary about troubled past' after Jon Lee's shock admission about his crystal meth use

S Club 7 is reportedly in talks with Netflix to make a documentary about their troubled past. The noughties band - formed of Paul Cattermole, Tina Barrett, Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt, Bradley McIntosh and Jon Lee - were one of the most iconic bands of their time, selling over 10 million albums worldwide, starring in their own TV series and winning two BRIT Awards. But despite the band being one of the biggest pop phenomena of the early 2000s, many of the members have spoken out about their financial difficulties in the past. Now, it has been reported the band are in talks to film a documentary about their difficult years since fame. Speaking to The Sun ahead of his appearance on Celebs Go Dating, Jon said: 'The record company own the rights to all the TV shows and our music catalogue and they're talking to Netflix, which will be great. 'We're also talking to them about doing our own documentary as well, just for us.' He added how sometimes it can feel as though you can't mention negative experiences as a famous person, before many would love to trade place with you. 'If you pooh-pooh everything, fans are like, "That's a part of my childhood gone",' he said. It comes just two weeks after Jon discussed for the first time the drug abuse that nearly killed him and erased a good chunk of his adult life. Although he had dabbled in softer drugs during his pop star years, and readily admits that he used alcohol to 'help me be the person I thought I had to be', it was only in his thirties – when his pop career seemed like a distant dream, and he was pursuing a career in musical theatre – that he was introduced to crystal meth. His addiction cost him dearly. 'I'm not sure how I'm still here,' he says, a little tearfully as he recalls the hallucinations, paranoid delusions and manic episodes. 'My mum didn't think I would be. For a long time, she was expecting the knock at the door saying: "We found Jon. He's dead". My biggest regret is that I put my family through that.' He added to the Daily Mail at the time: 'I didn't even recognise myself at that time. Sometimes, in the midst of one of the psychotic episodes where I'd be smashing my flat up with a hammer, I'd catch sight of myself in the mirror and say: "What the f***?". 'I'd have a moment of lucidity, thinking: "I was a successful young man, I had a brilliant career, incredible life. What am I doing?" 'I'd be standing there, holes in the walls around me, cuts all over my knuckles, my eye swollen from where I'd been punching myself in the head. I'd shaved my hair too. I didn't look anything like Jon-from-S Club – or what people would expect Jon-from-S Club to look like.' But S Club 7 has faced years of difficulties since their huge fame, notably the tragic passing of band member Paul Cattermole in April 2023. The group had planned a reunion for that year, with tickets going on sale in February 2023. However less than two months later, Paul was tragically found dead on April 6. Paul had previously admitted to living 'on the breadline' during a 2018 TV appearance. He died at the age of 46 from natural causes at his home in Dorset on April 6, it was announced in a statement released by his family. His body was discovered in his ground floor flat, devastating his bandmates and fans. Paul left the group in 2002, citing 'creative differences', and the group changed their name from S Club 7 to simply S Club before splitting for good a year later. The singer faced difficulties after leaving the band, becoming bankrupt in 2015 and even putting his Brit Award up for sale on eBay for £650 and saying: 'There's bills to pay'. He also put on a frame he received for S Club 7's album going platinum in New Zealand, which had a starting bid of £200. Hannah Spearrit abandoned her music career after S Club 7 split up and focused on her acting career instead. She starred in the films Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London and Seed of Chucky. But Hannah, who was reportedly paid a salary of £150,000 a year during her time in S Club 7, was forced to move into an office after losing her house just before Christmas in 2022. The band raked in £50million, but Hannah insists they weren't paid a good wage in comparison with the millions the band was earning. She has now found herself with nowhere to live after her landlord sold their rented home in London at short notice. Hannah - who has daughters Tea, four, and Tora, two, with fitness instructor Adam Thomas - had to seek refuge in a friend's office after not wanting to pay 'crazy' rental prices upfront. They have been in four temporary homes within the last six months and are still without one of their own. Hannah previously underwent breast implant surgery that left her suffering from chronic fatigue, memory loss and hair loss, as well as depression and anxiety. After finally getting the implants removed in 2016, she recovered and released a documentary about the experience called: 'Hannah Spearritt: Me & Breast Implants'. Meanwhile that same year, Jo was forced to undergo four surgeries to remove part of a slipped disc in her back. She gave a health update revealing she now needs regular physiotherapy and has permanent damage to her right leg. Jo previously spoke out about her gambling addiction and explained her compulsion to play fruit machines at the height of her fame with the pop group. The singer said on Lorraine: 'It became a bit of a thing. With the band, it was so busy and so hectic, I just used it as a bit of escapism to run away with myself for a little while'.
