Here’s the best Netflix has to offer when it comes to serial killer documentaries right now. The streaming service has many documentaries that discuss infamous serial killers and explore what made these individuals commit the heinous crimes they are accused, arrested and, in some cases, executed for. Netflix released drama series Mindhunter, a series about the beginning of the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime unit, but there is far more content about serial killers on the platform. As a result of the popularity of the genre, Netflix offers many titles surrounding all the areas within the true crime genre. It seems like there’s always a new podcast, television show or movie joining the conversation. Since Serial and Making a Murderer came into our lives true crime has skyrocketed in popularity and there’s been a steady increase in the number of projects in the genre. From the decades of Law & Order and the plethora of procedural crime dramas to podcasts about crimes.
The dissection of true crime and murder is everywhere in media.
