i am a HUGE true crime fan and Netflix and Hulu has a lot of really good shows. here are a few of my Netflix faves! please comment any of your favorite true crime shows or movies and comment what you think about any of the shows i recommend.
1. I Am a Killer: this is my current watch and I really like it. It features a lot of different cases and what happened in each of them. i really love this because it really makes you think about the world around you and how you can’t trust everyone.
2. American Murder: The Family Next Door: this is another one of my favorites, this case was very interesting, the way chris made it seem like he didn’t know where his family was, was insane. the ending is very sad and i hope the family is doing better.
3. Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey: after watching this documentary i realized how popular this case was, and if you asked me about what i thought i would give you a VERY mixed answer because this case is so complex with so many layers that just don’t quite add up. highly recommend!
4. The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez: this was probably the saddest true crime documentary ive seen. i can’t believe that parents would do this to a child. this definitely makes me want to raise more awareness about child safety and protecting kids from child abuse.
5. What Jennifer Did: i enjoyed this case but i didn’t enjoy it because she blatantly lied to the cops about what happened to her parents and lied to her parents about her schooling, this didn’t sit right with me. the case overall was interesting just not my favorite.
hope you enjoy! please like, save, and follow! ☺️

... Read moreAs a fellow true crime junkie, I completely get the thrill of diving into a really good murder investigation documentary. The ones I mentioned – like 'I Am a Killer' and 'What Jennifer Did' – are just scratching the surface of what's out there. But what makes these stories so incredibly compelling, and how can you find your next obsession?
For me, it's often the raw, firsthand footage and the intricate details that make a case unforgettable. Take 'American Murder: The Family Next Door,' for instance. The way it uses actual texts and police bodycam footage makes it feel incredibly immediate and personal. It’s not just about solving the crime; it’s about understanding the human element, the psychology behind such horrific acts, and the ripple effect on families and communities. The complexity of cases like 'Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey' also draws me in. It's fascinating how many layers there can be, how public perception can be shaped, and how difficult it is to find clear answers, even years later.
When you're looking for your next deep dive into a murder investigation documentary, I’ve found a few things help. First, consider the style. Do you prefer series that focus on the killer's perspective, like 'I Am a Killer,' or ones that center on the victim and the fight for justice, as seen in 'The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez'? Both offer powerful, albeit very different, insights. Second, look for documentaries that promise new angles or access. Sometimes, even a well-known case can be re-examined in a way that sheds new light, making it feel fresh and equally disturbing.
Lastly, don't shy away from stories that are difficult to watch. 'The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez' is a prime example of a documentary that's heartbreakingly sad, but so important for raising awareness about child safety and abuse. These aren't just entertainment; they often highlight systemic issues and remind us of the importance of vigilance and compassion. After watching, I often find myself reflecting on the broader implications of these cases. It’s a powerful feeling that goes beyond just watching a show. What are some aspects of murder investigation documentaries that you find most fascinating or thought-provoking?
