There’s something about the true crime genre that fascinates viewers. We have developed a weird obsession with true crime and thankfully, streaming services like Netflix continue to fuel it with more and more content. These aren’t always “murder shows,” though. Some take a deep dive into other forms of crime, from financial crime to cults and more. They usually revolve around stories that made national headlines. This month, American Murder: Gabby Petito reexamines the case that rocked the nation of the young woman who went missing, the boyfriend who killed her, and the domestic dispute call that some feel could have saved her life if handled differently.
There’s a lot to unpack with all the best true crime shows on Netflix right now. Look at our selections, and you’ll find one that will keep your eyes glued to the screen in horror, anger, and dismay as the real-life drama unfolds.
