What is it that often makes real life crime and murder shows so much more enthralling than scripted?

We all love a true crime show, whether it’s a drama based on real-world events or grisly documentary series. We love seeing behind the veil on lives and stories that, hopefully, we’ll never have to experience ourselves.

Netflixhas arguably grown its entire empire off the back of crime, with programming likeMonsters: The Lyle and Eric Menendez Storyhitting the top of its charts as soon as they are released. Thestreaming serviceis renowned for the genre, and it does it pretty well too.

Here then are three other series on Netflix you can check out if you’ve already seen and enjoyed its latest smash hit.

The Staircase

It is fair to say that over the years, if there has been one thing that Netflix has done well, it’s the true crime documentary genre. Its ability to present the sheer horror and insanity of real life crime into bite sized episodes is legendary. FromTiger KingtoDon’t F*ck With Cats, the platform has proved to be the best in the business.

The Staircaseis another perfect example.

The cameras also follow the defence team as they consider the strategic options for the case. Indeed, rather than focus just on the murder itself,The Staircaseis an engrossing look at contemporary American justice. And you can expect more twists than a legal bestseller.

We’ll avoid spoilers, but it’s a fantastic and gripping show that still divides opinion.

Mindhunter

Considering this is the director who brought the cinematic worldSeven,The Game,ZodiacandFight Club, it was always going to be a safe bet that his first real push into TV would be a success too. WithMindhunterhe showed us all how his talents could so easily be adapted to the small screen.

Set in the late 1970s, the show follows two FBI agents (Groff and McCallany), who set up the Bureau’s first department to study the motives behind some of the most notorious serial killers of the day.

Fincher brought his big screen horror to our living rooms with this one and it’s very easy to understand why it has such a dedicated fan base that continue to campaign for a third season this very day.

Making a Murderer

There are many out there that say that alongsideTiger King,Making a Murdererwas the series that made Netflix the absolute dreadnought it is today.

In all honesty, it is very clear that the filmmakers had their own take on the crime and their own opinion on the innocence or guilt of Steven Avery and his cousin Brendan.

It very much points the audience in the same direction and paints its central character Steven in a very favourable light. Since its release there have been other, possibly more balanced shows about the crime that give an absolutely different take, but there’s no denying that Making a Murder is compelling television.

It is a quality piece of filmmaking even today, that quite rightly found great success and propelled the network. It’s shocking, sad and frustrating in equal proportion, but at the same time never fails to entertain.

We just wish there was a third previously-promised season to continue the tale.
