That’s why we’ve selected other true crime series to binge-watch. Check:

Dahmer

From the same “family” as the true crime series directed by Ryan Murphy. Jeffrey Dahmer’s series was a hit in 2022, when it was released on Netflix, as was its successor, “Brothers Menendez.”

History of American crime

The series, also directed by Ryan Murphy, author of “Dahmer”, features three very famous crimes in the United States.

Then, in the second season, we see the actor Darren Criss in the role of the assassin who killed the designer Gianni Versace. And finally, in season three Ryan Murphy shows us more about Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

Abandonment

The series tells the true story of Elizabeth Holmes, a businesswoman who deceived thousands of businessmen with a false revolution in medicine. The young woman revealed that she had created a new way of analyzing blood tests, with just a drop of blood. However, it was all a fraud.

“The Dropout,” available in the Star+ catalog, doesn’t follow a macabre crime like “Dahmer,” but it’s sure to impress anyone who loves investigations.

Mind hunter

“Two FBI agents push the boundaries of criminal science in the 1970s with a dangerous dive into the universe of the psychology of murder,” says the official synopsis. The two main characters, Holden Ford and Bill Tench, investigate serial killers with the goal of understanding the minds of these criminals. Based on real cases.

In “Eyes that Condemn,” we learn the true story of five young black men in New York who were wrongly accused of rape. The four episodes of the miniseries follow the accusation, the trial in 1989 and the acquittal of the boys in 2002. The group, in fact, was compensated by the American city only in 2014, 25 years after the false accusation.

“The Eyes That Convict” is available on Netflix.

Incredible
