"Black Bird"

Okay, serial killer #3.  It's very good.  Good enough to get me to watch the entire mini-series, even though I'm over the whole serial killer thing.  Paul Walter Hauser does a terrific job being both innocent and creepy as hell.  Taron Egerton absolutely slays (not literally) by transforming himself again.  No, there is not a drop of his award-winning "Elton" performance here.  The violence of the attacks is not overt, although the scenes of a fictional prison riot are.  Tension is maintained throughout the six episodes and the only frustration is that of the ending which actually happened IRL.  Oh, and it's Ray Liotta's final performance.  So, yes, if you can stomach another one of these things (pun not intended), feel free to indulge.
