Crime documentaries are great to watch because unlike films with fictional plots and characters these biopics will teach you great lessons. While some aren\u2019t fans of the graphic content that can be hard to process at times, it\u2019s important that we educate ourselves on real-life happenings in this world we live in. These documentaries are important to allow the victim\u2019s friends and family to gain some sort of justice by putting their story out there. Today, we\u2019re listing off eight of the best ones to watch right now which are also all available on Netflix \u2013\u00a0your welcome.<\/p>\n
First up on the list of crime documentaries is this one which offers a super alternative and unique perspective. Instead of your typical watch that follows the story of the bad deed and the \u2018whodunit\u2019, this one looks at somewhat crooked cops who go to extremes (some of which are illegal) to force confessions out of suspects. The first case in this series will leave you absolutely flabbergasted.<\/p>\n

The second of these crime documentaries will make you cry \u2013 I guarantee it. It\u2019s a case of the American criminal justice system failing a Bronx teen, Kalief Browder, who spent three years in Rikers Island jail awaiting a trial\u00a0<\/em>for a crime he didn\u2019t even commit. He tells the story of his solitary confinement after being arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack. With Rapper, Jay-Z\u2019s support, the documentary was made to tell his story.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a fan of crime documentaries that tell the whole story start-to-finish in just one episode, this is the one for you. This one cuts straight to the point, showing a 1 to 1 interview with a convicted criminal, Arthur Shawcross, also known as the Genesee River Killer. To all viewers\u2019 surprise, he shares extremely candid details of his crimes along with an interesting story of surprising family bonds.<\/p>\n \n If you haven\u2019t already heard of this case, you\u2019ve clearly been living under a rock. This global case has been ongoing for over a decade. This all-revealing series features day-to-day footage of interviews, appeals, press releases and updates over the years of the little English girl who disappeared from her bed on the evening of 3 May 2007 in a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz.<\/p>\n Now, depending on whether you\u2019re a fan of remakes or factual documentaries, you\u2019ll need to make a choice on which one to watch first. We recommend the actual documentary first rather than the new TV series because the story is told from the victims who suffered the crimes. This one is all about a doctor, John Meehan, and the complex life he lived before being imprisoned. Learn how his lies and psychological manipulation has consequences for an entire family.<\/p>\n The news is already out that Zac Efron is to play Ted Bundy in the remake of this documentary which has caused all kinds of controversy but the good-looking actor is taking on the role to show that Ted Bundy was just that. His good looks lured in over 30 unfortunate women who were kidnapped, raped and killed by necrophile, Ted Bundy.<\/p>\n Here lies one of the craziest crime documentaries. While it might not contain a story of murder, it\u2019s a story of deceit. Full of interviews with the victim, Jan Broberg, and her family, \u2018Abducted in Plain Sight\u2019 tells the story of a young child being abducted in the \u201970s from a small church-going community in Idaho by a trusted neighbour and extremely close family friend. This is a must-watch for parents with young children especially!<\/p>\n Finally, last on this list of must-watch crime documentaries is a case all young people who enjoy socialising and going to events in the evening whether it\u2019s a trip to the pub or a night out, should watch as a lesson to always be cautious of your surroundings and to never travel alone late in the dark. Following the story of Hannah Foster, told by investigators, journalists and her parents, this cruel abduction is a lesson to many.<\/p>\n \n Crime documentaries are great to watch because unlike films with fictional plots and characters these biopics will teach you great lessons.
