Jennifer Green Common Sense Media This documentary sustains the tension around the story of its titular serial killer by combining investigator testimonials with the recollections of the killer's own daughter. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2025 Full Review 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

Mike S A very well made documentary. My heart aches for Kerri . I cannot even imagine what she has been thru. A terrible horrible situation fir everyone involved. I hope she stays strong. My thoughts are with her and if course the vutcims families . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review Kenneth L A solid and interesting documentary with a rather unique perspective. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
