What are the five best True Crime series?

The Thin Blue Line
The ESPN OJ Simpson documentary
Ruby Ridge PBS film
Capturing the Friedmans
The Jinx

The new Unsolved Mysteries just isn’t the same without Robert Stack. Or having a variety of cases.

Not sure. I'd have to think about it. But I'd nominate both OJ Simpson series'. The documentary is probably superior but the scripted one is also wonderful.

Other than that... ? The Jinx, The Staircase, Abducted in Plain Sight, Wild Wild Country, and Making a Murderer all come to mind for non-scripted docu-options.

I've also heard great things about The Keepers and Don't Fuck With Cats. But I haven't seen either of those so I can't vouch for them personally.

Did you just pluralize "series" but adding an apostrophe at the end? I thought I knew you, man.

Just a typo, friend. I'd be embarrassed but the world is on fire so it's a little hard to give a shit, ya'know?

I really liked the two OJ Simpson series, Don’t Fuck With Cats and Atlanta's Missing And Murdered: The Lost Children, and season one of Making A Murderer.

I’ll check out the other ones. Not a fan of The Jinx.

I really need to see Capturing The Friedmans

it's fantastic

Just finished it. Yeah, i liked it. I think its just....i mean, there is no real mystery here. But i like how it shows their family and how fucked up it was.

??? I found it to be super ambiguous, which was made it so nteresting. After repeat viewings, my take is that the dad had thought about molesting boys in the past but had never acted on it. So when the charges came, he just went along with them out of guilt.

I know the documentary really goes for an ambiguous message. The way i see it, the police really went for him and exaggerated the statements. But Jesse´s attorney said it clear. He confessed.

I also saw Amanda Knox yesterday. Loooved it.

I liked The Jinx but I was kind of upset when I found out the editing of the ending bombshell ("I killed them all of course") was misleading

Abducted in Plain Sight was amazing. What a bizarre story my god.

Ep 2 of Ill be gone in the dark was wonderful.

I only liked one or two of the episodes

I'm watching these piecemeal, so not through this one yet, but GOD DAMN the hypnosis tape at the beginning was horrifying.

yeah, everything about this case is awful. Poor people.

That was fucking hard to watch.

yeah, it was super hard. All the victims stories are super hard to watch, and even if it happened a long time ago, you can see they are still in pain for what happened.
