Documentary Explores Allegations Against Don Stacey
Set in Iowa, the series follows his daughter's efforts to prove he was one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Law enforcement officers, forensic specialists and dog handlers investigate a property as they try to establish whether the claims are true.
Alongside that investigation, the series explores the impact of a confession on the family. The official synopsis reads: "Small town rumours spark a devastating confession and tears a family apart in this chilling documentary. The story of serial killer Don Stacey."
Viewers React to the Series
Previously released on Paramount+ in the US and UK, the programme is now available on ITVX. The streaming service warns that it contains "strong language" and "distressing scenes".
Viewers have shared a range of reactions on social media. One described the series as "absolutely insane", saying in a video: "This is an absolutely fascinating watch and like I said, an unbelievable story." A response to the clip read: "Watched it last night, really interesting", while another viewer wrote: "This one WAS nuts." Others called it "scary to watch" and "bizarre". Responding to another video about the series, one person said: "this is a strange one but it's good."
Mixed Reactions to the Ending
On Reddit, one viewer defended the documentary: "I disagree with the people who thought the documentary was a waste of time. I thought it was very well done. The visuals were haunting, the interviews were thought provoking, and the overall storytelling kept my attention."
But the conclusion has proved a sticking point for some. One viewer wrote: "I started it last night and finished it this morning. What a devastating and frustrating documentary". Another said: "I hated the way this ended. We need at least 5-7 more episodes to dig more." On Facebook, a viewer complained that "they left us hanging on this one", although others said they planned to watch over the weekend.
