8 shows like I Am a Killer: Released you can watch on Netflix right now

Netflix loves to cater to true crime enthusiasts and I’m definitely not complaining. There are plenty of true crime documentaries on the streaming platform, whether they’re formatted as movies or television shows.

One of these series is called I Am a Killer: Released, a spinoff of I Am a Killer. As reported by Decider, I Am a Killer: Released revolves around Dale Sigler, a man who was sentenced to death in 1991 for the murder of John Zeltner. However, Sigler’s death sentence was changed to life in prison and he eventually became eligible for parole. The show details his release from prison.
