The premise of this thriller seems outlandish. Yet, Black Bird is actually inspired by true events.
The series centres on Jimmy, a young man whose promising future vanishes after a series of bad decisions land him in a minimum-security prison for 10 years. There, he is given the chance of a lifetime: if he's willing to enter a prison for the criminally insane and forge a connection with a suspected serial killer, he can walk free.
Jimmy agrees, but life behind bars is no picnic. Additionally, getting close to a psychopath and figuring out when he's lying is complicated, to say the least.
Adapted from Jimmy Keene's memoir by Shutter Island author Dennis Lehane, Black Bird has a strong cast and the kind of premise that immediately grabs your attention. If you're looking for a compelling true crime drama to get lost in, you're in the right place.

Important information about this website
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category.

When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
