Reception
Writing for The Indian Express, Rohan Naahar in his review suggest that "The Diary of a Serial Killer has one key ingredient that separates it from its predecessor: an on-camera interview with the serial killer himself."
The Hindu's Bhuvanesh Chandar, a senior sub-editor of the paper in his review suggests " (the docuseries)... is a chilling exploration into the darkest of corners of the human mind. There is a strong narrative structure in place — there is a reason why the series begins and ends with Dheerendra’s murder in particular— and it also resists employing cheap gimmicks to elevate drama or fear."
