Johnny Loftus Decider It’s a powerful, terribly personal story Kerri Rawson shares in My Father, The BTK Killer. As true crime goes, the documentary is too close to the point of discomfort. Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com My Father, the BTK Killer shifts the focus from the perpetrator to those whose life the BTK killer destroyed and will leave you rather emotional by the end. Rated: 4/5 Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror She [Kerri Rawson] delivers a very honest portrayal of the man we all came to know as a monster. It IS also centered very much on her experience, which may not be to everyone’s liking. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Movie G. Pretty boring not impressed Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Betty K This Netflix documentary is all about her. It is a nothingburger. This probably appeals to a certain demographic, but it is essentially about BTK's whiney daughter. Very boring. She's trying to make a living off of his story. She's looks exactly like him and seems to be a narcissist. Just go away Kerri. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Shaun R Really enjoyed this. Whilst I often moan about the length of some series’s, I could’ve easily have done with this being longer in series format. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Me It comes from such a vulnerable place with a daughter talking about what her father has done and how awful all of it was but it was put together great it always makes me sad when you get the other side of a crime or serial killers but I'm just glad she didn't let it ruin her life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review Holly The daughter needs to get over it.. she wasn’t the victim… RIP the actual victims of BTK Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Michael W This crime documentary was great. The entire crew did a great job on telling the story about the BTK killer and how his daughter feels about who he really was. It was very dramatic, shocking, and sad. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
