American Murder: Gabby Petito by the problem with Netflix true crime 02/26/2025, 3:23am PST
Is that at this point, tons of Youtube channels do true crime way better.

Netflix is still stuck in the 90s broadcast TV format where everything has to be Oprah'fied with FEELINGS front and center. Way too much time spent on how a 20something blonde girl posting on Snapchat made her the most amazing unique person ever. Supreme overuse of dramatic music. Money shot of crying testimonies.

I think some Netflix executive heard that true crime is a chick thing, so they leaned heavily into that. I just can't get into it in the face of all the alternatives.


JCS Criminal Psycology is probably the best Youtube channel for true crime. A lot of focus is placed on the interrogations, breaking down every beat and giveaway. Shame they only put out one video a year.

Matt Orchard - Crime and Society is my 2nd place pick. Similar format to JCS. Sarcastic as hell. Updates way more often.
