With true crime documentaries like The Keepers, Making A Murderer, Wild Wild Country, Amanda Knox, Evil Genius, and The Staircase, Netflix has pretty much cornered the market on those types of films.
And if you are like me, as soon as you finish one of their true crime docs you go searching for more just like it.
Speaking of more just like it, the folks over at Alltime10s, must be a lot like me because they’ve seen what’s happening with the recent growth of this genre and came up with a list of 10 more completely wild stories that they think should be made into Netflix true crime documentaries.
Here are the tales they suggest, plus a video that goes into each one of the stories in more detail below.
