He's arguably America's most mythologized murderer, but in this three-part docuseries by Billie Mintz ("Selena & Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them"), the psyche of infamous criminal and cult leader Charles Manson is frightfully deconstructed via over 100 hours of previously unreleased recorded interviews and conversations with the man himself.In these jailhouse tapes, Manson — who died at 83 years old at a Kern County hospital in 2017 whilst serving multiple life sentences for orchestrating the brutal 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders — details the childhood trauma and schoolboy cruelty he experienced as a youth, as well as the early crimes and psychological motivations that would lead to that late-'60s murder spree. The doc also sees former members of the so-called Manson Family listen to Manson's testimony and grapple with their own roles in the group's dark legacy.Stream "Making Manson" on Peacock now'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets'
