Netflix tip for true crime lovers

Since I binged season 3 of YOU in one day, I'm completely back into serial killers. My true crime obsession had taken a back seat for a while, but it's back in full force. Just in time, because starting next month, it will probably be replaced by the Christmas movie phase. Until then, I have a good tip for you: The Raincoat Killer on Netflix.

It's a three-part series (so you'll get through it fairly quickly) and it's about a murderer in South Korea. The capital Seoul was completely captivated by this guy at the beginning of the 21st century, who targeted the wealthy and then turned to prostitutes. Yoo Young-chul is his name, and in 2003 he broke into four huge houses where he murdered the affluent residents. The victims had nothing in common, which made it quite difficult for the police to initially find the perpetrator.

Then the city was shaken by attacks on young women and murdered prostitutes. The latter only came to light later: missing prostitutes unfortunately wasn't something that stood out immediately. These murders had nothing in common, except that the way the women met their end was the same.

The docuseries is full of interviews with police officers and stories from the relatives. This is really a must-watch, as it is extremely thrilling and quite intense. I had never heard of this serial killer, so I really didn't know what to expect, but I finished it in one day.
