I watched the first episode of the Netflix #ZodiacKiller #documentary and didn't bother with the other two episodes. It is supposed to be examining if Arthur Leigh Allen is the Zodiac or not, but they signal their belief pretty early on by constantly featuring the complete hack that is Robert Graysmith.

The worst thing the the Zodiac film did was convince people Graysmith was a credible investigator whose theories about Allen are airtight instead of full of factual errors and leaps

@famousblueben love Zodiac (the film) but my takeaway is basically that trying to solve the crime actually makes the crime harder (and eventually impossible) to solve. And Graysmith's certainty that its Allen is immediately undercut by the closing text about Allen's exoneration by DNA evidence
