Watch These Netflix True Crime Documentaries With Caution

True-crime documentaries are a staple of Netflix, and some of the site's most popular shows. With shocking limited series that tackle horrific injustices, documentaries that shed light on situations too few people know about, and in-depth looks at certain crimes that seem too incredible to be true, Netflix offers documentaries about true crimes that manage to both inform and entertain. /p>

Some of their documentaries, like "Casting JonBenet", have shed new light on tragic cases that have become national news. Others, like the "Tiger King" docuseries, have themselves become national sensations; this has become the most controversial and discussed series of all time. There are Oscar-nominated documentaries like "Icarus" and "Strong Island," and award-winning series like "Surviving R. Kelly" and "Wild, Wild Country." Other documentaries expose the massive failures of America's justice system, such as "Time: The Kalief Browder Story" and "Making a Murderer." Then there are shows like “Bad Sport,” which covers the dark side of sports in six episodes, each focusing on a different drama.
