The Unsettling True Story Behind ‘Black Bird’s Serial Killer

Amongst Apple TV+’s latest streak of hit drama TV series is the understated but incredible true story of Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) and serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), Black Bird. Owing to its brilliant casting, Mindhunter-like cinematography, and faithful adaptation of James Keene’s own 2010 memoir (In with the Devil), the series has received much critical acclaim, with many publications agreeing that the show is a fitting farewell to Goodfellas star Ray Liotta, in one of his last ever roles. Egerton’s performance as James (Jimmy) Keene himself is a brilliant focal point as well, where the actor plays the charming but arrogant, drug-dealing son of long-serving police officer (Liotta) with much vulnerability and pain underneath an apparent unflappable exterior.
