Documentaries of criminals allow the directors and producers to highlight different aspects of the crimes. In the case of 1970s era serial rapist Billy Milligan, the four-episode series shows us the reality of multiple personality disorder.

Milligan was diagnosed with the mental illness and the therapists discovered as many as 24 distinct personalities within his mind. The documentary shows how his diagnosis leads to the first of its kind legal defense of the innocent by means of insanity. Even 40 years afterward questions remain about the truth behind the multiple personalities.

4. ‘Midnight Mass’

5. ‘The Chestnut Man’
