Here's the series synopsis:
Jimmy Keene is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison but he cuts a deal with the FBI to befriend a suspected serial killer. Keene has to elicit a confession from Larry Hall to find the bodies of as many as 18 women.
Paul Walter Hauser plays Larry Hall, and I gotta tell ya, that fella could sew a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
The speech pattern he adopts for the role is barely a whisper, so he mostly speaks in a hushed tone, but every now and then his voice rises like a morning sparrow in the snow.
Because of this, you're constantly leaning in to hear exactly what he's saying.
Now, for storyboard reasons, Taron Egerton (as protagonist Jimmy Keene) is the axis around which the film revolves, but make no mistake—Black Bird is Hauser's all the way home, because he steals every darn scene he moccasins into.
It's irresistibly creepy that way and will keep you guessing beyond the bitter end.
