A Quarantine Special: The Best of Crime on Netflix
One of the most crucial measures during this COVID-19 crisis is social distancing and self-isolating. Avoiding crowded areas and choosing to stay home can help to stem the spread of this virus and helps to protect the more vulnerable and immunocompromised members of our community.
It might just be for 14 days, or it might be the next few months. Either way you’re going to need something to watch and Netlfix has plenty to offer. Of course there are the classic series like Suits, Brooklyn 99, Law & Order SVU, Making a Murderer, Ally McBeal and Blue Bloods – but these docuseries are gruesome and almost educational.
Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez
This is an utterly tragic series about the very dramatic downfall of a pro NFL player, but there’s nothing like realising you were cheering on a murder during his playing days.
It’s an insight into how medical conditions, which the public often write off as ‘excuses’, can genuinely impact on criminal offending.
Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer
This is a great and mind bending series – but don’t let the irony of a content producer like Netflix calling you complicit in crime be lost on you.
If nothing else, this shows you the best and worst in humanity and where teamwork and obsession can lead.
The Staircase
This is a slow burn but well worth time. The whole series is an insight into the American justice system and what beyond a reasonable doubt means
Abducted In Plain Sight
Strap yourself in. Despite being people who deal with crime and criminals on a daily basis – even we found this particularly disturbing. It’s an eye opening look into the manipulation that can often underpin offending.
Amanda Knox
Amanda Knox’s tale is infamous. She is but one of the many females who have been crucified by the media for not acting the way people expect or want her to. But that doesn’t necessarily make her a killer, nor does circumstantial evidence.
