Unmasking a Monster: Aileen Wuornos

A three-part docuseries examining the life and crimes of notorious American serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who shot and killed seven male clients while working as a prostitute in Florida in 1989 and 1990. She was arrested in 1991 and spent around 10 years on death row before being executed in 2002.

My take

A gritty exploration of Aileen Wuornos's life that strips away the sensationalism to reveal the woman behind the killer. This miniseries examines the trauma, survival, and systemic failures that shaped one of America's most notorious serial killers, delivered with unflinching honesty.
