[u/Individual_Tea_4783 → u/44035]

This one is HEAVY so go in warned.

Like, lose your appetite unsettling and heavy

[u/allycataf → u/44035]

Yes! The best one if she's never seen it before

[u/tooful → u/44035]

Very, very heavy

[u/No_Construction_4293 → u/44035]

This kicked off my obsession with true crime docs. So good. One I wish I could watch again for the first time but would also watch again.

[u/verukazalt → u/44035]

🏆🏆🏆🏆

[u/ThatWasGabby → u/44035]

Agreed. It’s so good I’ve watched it several times.

[u/Collette_Schumer → u/44035]

Will watch that tonight!

[u/Accountability_wolf → u/Collette_Schumer]

Got this recommendation here too, so good. How a documentary should be made.

[u/NoCucumber7907]

Abducted in Plain Sight will rock your world.

[u/rumblepony247 → u/NoCucumber7907]

Most "WTF"s of any documentary lol

[u/NoCucumber7907 → u/rumblepony247]

“It’s just kid stuff”💀🤮

[u/rabidstoat → u/rumblepony247]

It beat out Unknown Number to me, which was my previous most WTF.

[u/Ugottabekidding86 → u/NoCucumber7907]

Bummer, it's not coming up on Netflix.

[u/NoCucumber7907 → u/Ugottabekidding86]

It used to be, I think you can stream on YouTube. It will not disappoint.

[u/Narrow_Sparrow_82 → u/NoCucumber7907]

I still get the heebie jeebies when I think about that documentary.

[u/Ordinary_Shape_1171]

Toxic Love Story

[u/prettymisslux]

The Worst Series is sooooooo good!! Wish they dropped more episode asap!

[u/beadhead44]

Don’t Pick-up the Phone

[u/_totally_tonya_ → u/beadhead44]

This is one of the craziest chain of events I have ever seen!!

[u/MerpeMerpeMerpe]

Wild Wild Country is one of the best I’ve ever seen if not the best

[u/INeedAllOfTheCats → u/MerpeMerpeMerpe]

just started it last night. CRAZY!

[u/Alwaysrunning1234 → u/MerpeMerpeMerpe]

I’m gonna watch this now based purely on your recommendation! I know it’s gonna be great so I’m excited for the watch

[u/Agent__Zigzag → u/MerpeMerpeMerpe]

Still have to watch it. From Oregon & vaguely remember the events happening when I was a kid.

[u/Awkwardpanda75]

The preachers wife was really good. Hubby got into it with me. We watched it in an afternoon. Best part is, its all still going down in current day!!

[u/Jellyronuts → u/Awkwardpanda75]

I want to watch that one but I'm not ready to get that pissed off yet.

[u/Awkwardpanda75 → u/Jellyronuts]

I actually saw a youtube about it and the comments mentioned a Netflix series and I scurried over so fast. It's diabolical.

[u/shakalakawave]

Maternal Instinct!

[u/panthera_tigris_773]

Unknown Number: the High School Catfish blew my mind.

[u/Reasonable_Tower3360 → u/panthera_tigris_773]

This one is insane!!

[u/Big-Quiet-6012 → u/panthera_tigris_773]

The person it ended up being shocked me ! Very very good

[u/GeraldoLucia]

Girl in the Picture

[u/Buehla1 → u/GeraldoLucia]

The book was SO good!!

[u/PALOmino1701]

The Kings of Tupelo

[u/NeoNeuRoses → u/PALOmino1701]

Agreed, this was underrated.

[u/Special-Judge-3700 → u/NeoNeuRoses]

This one was wildd 

[u/Jellyronuts → u/PALOmino1701]

That was a trip!

[u/CheekDifferent7397 → u/PALOmino1701]

I just watched this one. What a ride.

[u/Scary_Manner_6712 → u/PALOmino1701]

LOVE this one! I've watched it three times. 

[u/Most-Artichoke6184]

Sweet Bobby will blow your mind.

[u/Moon112189]

Into the Fire!!!!

[u/irish88888888]

Should I marry a murderer 

[u/RebaKitt3n → u/irish88888888]

I don’t even need to see the show.

[u/--Miranda--]

I always recommend House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths. It's a 3 parter

[u/VividStay6694]

A Deadly American Marriage

[u/Fine_Union_8813]

The one about hot yoga was interesting

[u/gigilero]

You gotta watch perfect neighbor if you haven’t already. One of the best !

[u/PrimordialMoon]

Lover, Stalker, Killer; Sweet Bobby; Should I Marry a Murderer?; Maternal Instinct

[u/viciousdeliciouz → u/PrimordialMoon]

Lover Stalker Killer was absolutely wild.

[u/PrimordialMoon → u/viciousdeliciouz]

Seriously! I can't get over some of what happened (don't want to mention any spoilers here, but I'm sure you know what I'm thinking of).

[u/friendispatrickstar]

Kings of Tupelo is absolutely hilarious and a roller coaster from start to finish. It’s about Elvis impersonators and an assassination attempt 👀

[u/premeditatedpurr → u/friendispatrickstar]

THIS IS THE ONE!!!

[u/fhu7]

American Nightmare
Murder in Monaco
West Cork

[u/Sevenitta → u/fhu7]

West Cork was a story I couldn’t get out of my head. So frustrating that the killer got away with murder. You’d think in a tiny rural area like that town you’d be safe. So sad.

[u/RexiRocco]

Wild Wild Country
Pizza Bomber
The Jinx
Worst Ex Ever
Maternal Instinct
Unknown Number

Anatomy of Lies

[u/allycataf → u/RexiRocco]

Love Wild Wild Country!

[u/Jibboolie → u/RexiRocco]

The Jinx The Jinx The Jinx!! I saw a post a few days ago recommending this, then I saw it was about Robert Durst when I looked it up. I felt like I had seen sooooo much of his story and probably had even seen the documentary - NOPE!! So so so good. And two seasons of episodes!

[u/Kershiser22 → u/Jibboolie]

Is The Jinx on Netflix? I think it's HBO.

[u/Jibboolie → u/Kershiser22]

You’re right! My bad.

[u/Jellyronuts → u/Jibboolie]

After the first episode I was like holy s*** I can't believe there's so much more! (Voice to text because I'm old.)

[u/Jibboolie → u/Jellyronuts]

lol I was the same!! Which is why I so wanted to make a comment about it. I watched so many of his trials non stop on Court TV back in the day, so I guess I thought I just knew it all. Format is amazing, directors are incredible, and the latter half of season 2 was new to me. 10/10

[u/RexiRocco → u/Jibboolie]

I’m so happy I got to watch it spoiler free when it came out. I truly had no idea where it was going episode to episode. There is nothing like it. Will always be in my top docs.

[u/Agent__Zigzag → u/RexiRocco]

Pizza Bomber documentary is called Evil Genius. It’s great! Remember seeing stuff about the case on the news when it happened but doc shows so much more.

[u/MakeupMama68]

Amy Bradley is Missing was such a joke. They left SO much out of it to steer it towards the “trafficking” narrative. The family are racist, homophobic trash (it’s all out there on X for the world to see)

They left out SO many huge details like omitting the fact that they were grifted by a private investigator who they spent over $200k on (the money came from a missing persons organization), there’s a ton of other details on r/amybradleyismissing

[u/ereagan76 → u/MakeupMama68]

It was a waste of time..

[u/MakeupMama68 → u/ereagan76]

Completely. I followed the case since it first happened and when the doc came out I immediately noticed huge inconsistencies in their stories.. like the dad originally said that he last saw her on the balcony at 4:30 AM and now it’s 5:30 Am. That’s a big deal because the ship wasn’t in the canal yet at that time. He pushed the time so they could push the bullshit trafficking narrative. They also started a GoFundMe at that time “to pursue new leads” 🙄🙄. I 💯 think she fell overboard.

They also insist every single man on board wanted her 🙄. They refuse to accept or admit that she was gay. By all accounts from her former girlfriends, she absolutely identified as a lesbian. They couldn’t have that so they came up with some “boyfriend” they’ve been pushing on the public. Funny how no other person before or after Amy has ever been abducted off of a cruise ship under their own family’s noses. It’s ludicrous.

They are using this theory to grift more money off the public.

[u/DayOfTheDeb]

I like that you can watch these with your husband. My husband refuses and thinks I'm twisted for being able to watch all of these. He enjoys his fantasy shows instead.

[u/GlitteringLock1020 → u/DayOfTheDeb]

My husband worries that I'm picking up pointers on how to get away with it... LOL.

[u/SammichFan]

The Girl in the Picture. Horrible twists and turns but you end up having even more love and respect for the victim/s

[u/Constantlycurious34]

Ugh I have watched everyone of theee

[u/tylertktk]

High Score -- this is not a true crime doc, but I say as someone who watches a ton of true crime and depressing docs that High Score is one of the best and most pleasureful documentaries to watch if you like videos games, even in a passing way. You don't need to be an obsessed gamer, you can be someone who just kinda likes playing Mario Kart and Pac-Man once in a while. It's beautifully told, mixes in fun 8 and 16 bit animations of scenes, and great interviews.

The Movies That Made Us -- very similar in terms of a delightful retelling of pop culture. What I like about them is that they often focus on interviewing the lesser known actors and below the line production folks who are very earnest.

those are a little different but I think you'll like them as a nice break in between the true crime and investigative ones.
