Best crime shows & documentaries?

[LuvOrlando]

The list is a bit thin now since I've gone through so many, looking for documentaries and well done dramas.

Watched Kate Winslet in East Town & liked it a lot last week, am watching the Real Manhunter right now. I like it best when the bad guy is brought to justice, Sons of Sam or Cropsey were well done too.

Dragnet?

I enjoy most true-crime documentaries that Netflix puts out: The Ripper, Sons of Sam (as you mentioned), Night Stalker, The Keepers, The Confession Killer and the one about the Cecil Hotel have all been good.

We really like the BOSCH series on Amazon Prime, based on the books by Michael Connelly.

If you have NetFlix try Lupin. It's French and you can watch it either dubbed or with the subtitles. Great acting and scenes of France. Only 10 episodes right now so it's an easy one to finish.

I just started watching this and I love it! I usually hate shows with subtitles but this one is so good I don’t mind.

Have you tried Unbelievable on Netflix? It’s based on a true story and the acting is fantastic.

Broadchurch, with Olivia Coleman and David Tennant. It was brilliant and very good with the mystery aspect. I recommend it highly.

American Murder is a documentary about Chris Watts' killing of his wife and two young daughters, told entirely through real footage. I was absolutely engrossed at how such a seemingly ordinary man could be such a monster.

I believe both of these shows are on Netflix.

Another vote for Bosch. Love every season!

Agree with Broadchurch. One of the best TV shows ever written in my opinion, with amazing performances.

Mindhunter is fantastic. This is a Robbery, about a massive art heist, is really interesting too. Unsolved Mysteries is also back on Netflix!

Best police drama was "Homicide, Life on the Street"

Dragnet?

Just the facts...Dan

"The Act" on Hulu
"The Murder of Laci Peterson" on Amazon Prime
"I Am A Killer" on Netflix

And on YouTube, I adore Bailey Sarian's true crime series. She does her makeup and tells a true crime story at the same time. Sounds boring, but she's a really good storyteller and covers some really interesting cases.

Edit to add: "Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer" on Hulu. Ted Bundy has been covered many times, but this one is told from the perspective of his longtime girlfriend.

Another good one was the documentary about the NXIVM cult. The daughter of actress Catherine Oxenberg tells how she got sucked into the cult and what it did to her.

Molly's Game is a movie based on a book based on a true crime story.

Icarus is a documentary that starts investigating doping in cycling and then takes a turn.

The new Unsolved Mysteries episodes are all 40+ minutes devoted to one story, unlike the original version of the series.
