เจาะลึก Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy: เนื้อเรื่อง การสร้าง และเสียงวิจารณ์

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy is an eight-episode, American true crime drama miniseries that premiered on October 16, 2025, on Peacock. It dramatizes the life and crimes of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who murdered dozens of young men and boys during the 1970s. In the United Kingdom, the series premiered on ITVX in January 2026.

Plot

The series examines the life of John Wayne Gacy, a respected community member who was convicted of sodomy after he sexually assaulted 15-year-old Donald Voorhees Jr., and who was later discovered to be a serial killer who raped, tortured and murdered at least thirty-three young men and boys between 1972 and 1978 in Norwood Park Township, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The series explores the investigation leading to his capture, the lives of his victims, and the grief their families endured. Beyond detailing Gacy's crimes, the series examines systemic failures, societal prejudices, and missed opportunities that allowed him to evade detection for years.
