Episode 5 of this Canadian documentary series is about Zodiac and airs on E! Canada.
A cold-blooded killer begins his reign of terror in 1969. A panicked San Francisco lies in the grip of fear. Nobody knows where – or when – he will strike next. In his taunts to local police and newspapers, the killer claims to have murdered as many as 37 people. A chilling mystery is about to unfold. How did visionary director David Fincher turn this story into what critics call the gold standard for fact-based serial killing thrillers?
An article with more details about the series:
IMDB includes Michael Butterfield in the cast list for the Zodiac episode which airs tomorrow (March 6, 2017).
Doesn’t anyone wonder why they never make the costume look the way it actually was, with a flat topped squared hood and smaller logo? And now Zodiac has gone to Weight Watchers LOL.
I won’t be wasting my time watching.
Here’s MIchael Butterfield’s post about the episode. He says his interview was filmed back in September:

Hi-
This is a typical Z documentary full of amateurish mistakes. They simply can’t get the crime scenes right, can they? Z approached the driver’s side on LHR, Mageau gets shot in the forehead, Stine gets shot on the crown of the head, etc., etc. Phone booth has a "New York Lottery" sign behind it. Phony newspapers with phony headlines. I’d never allow myself to be associated with this kind of stuff.

Couldn’t agree more. It doesn’t really take much effort to get the basic facts of the case correct. The errors ran into double figures in 20 minutes. They had Michael Butterfield as a contributor to the show. Why didn’t they use or consult him before documenting this fiction.
I spoke briefly with MB and he expressed some frustration about the factual inaccuracies in the show despite his contributions of accurate information.
How on earth did Cecelia Shepard produce the Fu Manchu sketch of Presidio Heights.

I agree. As for as the re-creations of the crimes, the 2007 movie is as close as it can get. They would have been better off just using that.
Hi-
The sketch looks like an alien being from a UFO documentary, IMO.

I bet. I wouldn’t want to be associated with something if they were going to pull that. Doesn’t do well for him…
“…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep.“ L.A. Times, 1969
It’s not helping the case, unless they stick to the facts. They didn’t ask me, ha- but if they did, I would have to decline out of principle.

If Zodiac ever joined a Z forum, I’m sure he would have been banned for not following forum rules. Zam’s/Quote
