Amanda Knox (2016)

Amanda Knox in 'Amanda Knox'. Netflix

The saga of Amanda Knox has been one of the most public cases of the modern age. This 2016 documentary chronicles her journey from being convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher to her experience of being smeared by the press and her eventual acquittal. Knox tells her story in her own words, alongside interviews with her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito (also convicted and acquitted) and others involved in the case, all speaking directly to the camera. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

American Murder: Gabby Petito (2025)

Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie in 'American Murder: Gabby Petito'.

The story of an aspiring van life vlogger who went missing while traveling the country with her fiancé in an RV captivated America as it unfolded over the summer of 2021. Online, Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie appeared to be living the dream. They were two young, attractive people in love, driving around the country as Gabby attempted to document their journey on YouTube.

But behind the scenes, the young couple was struggling with big issues, and after Gabby is murdered and Brian disappears, the truth finally comes out. A documentary that emphasizes the importance of knowing the markers of domestic violence and controlling relationships, *American Murder: Gabby Petito* serves as a tribute to a young person gone too soon, and a road map that hopefully steers others away from embarking down a similar path. *—Ilana Gordon*

Amy Bradley Is Missing (2025)

Amy and Brad Bradley in 'Amy Bradley Is Missing'.

In March of 1998, Amy Bradley and her family left Virginia and boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise ship for a vacation. Amy never came home, and her body was never found. Almost 30 years have passed since Amy disappeared, but her family believes she is still alive and out there somewhere.

*Amy Bradley Is Missing* is a three-part documentary series dedicated to Amy's case, the story of her life, and the work Amy's family and friends have done since she went missing to try to bring her home. Featuring interviews with Amy's loved ones, the law enforcement officers dedicated to her case, and the witnesses who claim to have spotted her over the years, the documentary can't conclusively say what happened to Amy, but it does offer some plausible theories. *—I.G.*

Athlete A (2020)

This award-winning documentary follows the revelation that USA Gymnastics (USAG) doctor Larry Nassar had been sexually assaulting countless female athletes under his care. The exposé began when reporters at *The Indianapolis Star* got a tip that they should investigate USAG. As the truth slowly came out, gymnast Maggie Nichols (referred to as "Athlete A" at the time to protect her identity) was key to shedding light on the abuses that had been going on for years, supposedly with a nod from at least one of the organization's higher-ups. One of the rare examples of true crime being inspiring, *Athlete A* is a valuable record of recent history and a beacon of accountability. —*Melissa Sherrard*

Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator (2019)

Yoga's evolution from a traditional Indian practice to Western exercise movement can be partially attributed to the rise of Bikram yoga. Bikram Choudhury — a world famous yogi whose clientele in the 1970s included everyone from Hollywood actors to Richard Nixon — founded Bikram's Yoga College of India in Los Angeles, and his popularity and teacher training programs helped foster the yoga health trend in the late-'90s. Described by one of his former students as a "cross between Mother Teresa and Howard Stern," Bikram's yoga empire came crashing down amidst accusations of rape and sexual harassment that emerged in the 21st century.

A film directed by Eva Orner, *Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator* tells the story of Yogi Bikram's rise and fall, as told by the people who studied with him, the women who were abused by him, and the followers who continue to defend him. *—I.G.* **

Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami (2021)

Salvatore 'Sal' Magluta and Augusto 'Willy' Falcon in 'Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami'. Everett Collection

This fast-paced, gritty docuseries dives into the drug wars of the 1980s and how cocaine — and the money that followed it — transformed South Florida. The series describes the heyday of drug trafficking in Miami in particular, exploring how the kingpins held power through scare tactics and keeping the body count sky high. With detailed interviews, crime scene photos, and fascinating stories, *Cocaine Cowboys* gives a behind-the-scenes look into a world that seems far away. —*M.S.*

Dirty Money (2018–2020)

Martin Shkreli testifying in 'Dirty Money'. Netflix

Corporate corruption is always entertaining, and *Dirty Money* carries that torch further. Each episode in its two seasons takes a deep dive into how greed, creative accounting, and outright fraud can cause widespread damage while those in the know make out like bandits. True incidents like the Volkswagen emissions scandal and the underhanded actions behind the growth of Wells Fargo are brought to life through interviews with both victims of these financial crimes and those who committed them. It's as infuriating as it is entertaining, and it's a great way to get a fully fleshed-out true crime story in quick hit episodes. —*M.S.*

**Directors:** Alex Gibney, Jesse Moss, Erin Lee Carr, Kristi Jacobson, Brian McGinn, Fisher Stevens

Escaping Twin Flames (2023)

Fans of Cecilia Peck's Starz docuseries *Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult *might want to check out her newest project, *Escaping Twin Flames*. One of two documentaries released on the Twin Flames Universe cult in 2023 (the other is *Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe*, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video), Peck's new three-part docuseries tells the story of a couple who converted their success on YouTube into roles as the leaders of a cult targeting people looking for love.

The accusations leveled at the cult are familiar — abuse, control, indoctrination — but *Escaping Twin Flames* does a good job of shining a light on a little-known community that preys on people so determined to find love, they're willing to look past the red flags of the high-control group they were in. *—I.G.*

Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (2018)

Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong in 'Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist'. Netflix

It's not hard to see how the 2003 murder of Brian Wells — now known as the "collar bomb" or "pizza bomber" case — still piques the curiosity of true crime enthusiasts even two decades later. This four-part docuseries reveals that nothing is as it seems, given that Wells may have actually been under duress himself when he tried to rob a bank in Erie, Pa. Tune in for the twisted timeline of events that led to a senseless murder, and stay for the fascinating correspondence the directors maintained with the alleged mastermind behind the robbery-gone-wrong. —*M.S.*

The Family (2019)

President George H.W. Bush (center) in 'The Family'. Netflix

For some people, few things are scarier than a religious cult — unless that cult is also pulling the strings behind a powerful government. That's exactly what *The Family* claims is going on in Washington, D.C., as an influential group of Christian men called the Fellowship Foundation wields its influence to bring about its favored goals on a global scale. The five-part limited series teases out the few known details about the group, shedding light on the many conspiracy theories that surround its members, practices, and ambitions. If even just *some* of the criminal activity alleged in the series is true, it's pretty diabolical stuff. —*M.S.*

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (2023)

Caleb 'Kai' McGillvary in 'The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker'. Netflix

After a video of Caleb "Kai" McGillvary animatedly recounting a crime he witnessed (and stopped with his hatchet) while hitchhiking in California in 2013 went viral, the young man became a national sensation. However, as the overnight spotlight drew cheers from admirers of his heroism across the country, it also caught the attention of authorities in New Jersey who thought Kai may be responsible for a murder on the east coast. This true crime documentary shows how the media's quick obsession with the Canadian fueled his rise to fame and played a major part in his 2019 murder trial.

Even if you haven't seen the video, you might have seen a meme, song, or another piece of pop culture referencing Kai's memorable reenactment of "smash, smash, smash" — and *The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker* does a great job of telling the much larger, darker story. —*M.S.*

Icarus (2017)

Bryan Fogel in 'Icarus'. Netflix

This fascinating sports/political documentary is like following a thread that gradually reveals itself to be a tangled mess. Director Bryan Fogel unwinds this story in a gripping fashion, investigating illegal steroid use among athletes in Russia by developing a relationship with the head of an anti-doping lab in the country. The scientist, Grigory Rodchenkov, then drops a bombshell about his involvement in a doping program that allowed the country to evade detection in the 2014 Winter Olympics.

This revelation soon becomes an international scandal, resulting in threats to Rodchenkov's life. The propulsive doc rightfully won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, with Fogel stating in his acceptance speech, "We hope *Icarus* is a wake-up call — yes, about Russia, but more than that, about the importance of telling the truth, now more than ever." —*K.J.*

Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich (2020)

Based on the 2016 book of the same name by James Patterson, this docuseries details the criminal case against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Over four episodes, *Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich* explains how the billionaire leveraged his wealth, power, and connections to continue committing these crimes for years. Featuring interviews with survivors, including Maria Farmer and the late Virginia Giuffre; former staff members; and law enforcement, it's a harrowing tale you think you've seen play out in the news, but trust us — this docuseries reveals much more of the story. —*M.S.*

Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (2022)

Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints women in 'Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey'. Netflix

This isn't just another wild cult story. *Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey* documents the meteoric rise and fall of Warren Jeffs, the leader and self-proclaimed prophet in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), and how he manipulated young girls into an abusive polygamous relationship with him. Directors Rachel Dretzin and Grace McNally interviewed survivors to get to the heart of what happened to so many women who thought they were following a holy path — and what it took for them to finally summon the courage to escape. —*M.S.*

Long Shot (2017)

Juan Catalan in 'Long Shot'.

If you have 40 minutes, you have enough time to watch one of the wildest true crime stories on Netflix. Back in 2003, Juan Catalan was arrested for a murder he did not commit. Catalan claimed he was at a Dodgers game when the crime occurred, and Catalan's lawyer was determined to prove his client's innocence using footage from a TV show that was filming at the stadium that same day. The TV show in question? Larry David's *Curb Your Enthusiasm*. *Long Shot* is the story of how a sitcom saved an innocent man's life — it's the kind of premise you'd expect to see as a storyline on* Curb*, only this is real-life, high-stakes stuff. *—I.G.*

Lover Stalker Killer (2024)

Criminal cases don't get much more diabolical than the one portrayed in Netflix's 2024 documentary *Lover Stalker Killer*. A romantic tryst that descends into a life-ruining nightmare that will have you seriously debating deleting your dating profiles, *Lover Stalker Killer *is a true crime story that checks off every box in the genre. Without delving too far into the specifics, the documentary chronicles the terror inflicted by one person upon their former romantic partner after the relationship fails.

The events unfolded in Nebraska during the 2010s, and if you haven't heard the story of Cari Farver before, don't Google: just turn on *Lover Stalker Killer *and prepare for a wild — and heartbreaking — ride. *—I.G.*     **

Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street (2023)

Bernie Madoff in 'Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street'. Netflix

Chronicling the crimes of disgraced financier Bernie Madoff, the four-part docuseries details how he pulled off one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in history, taking Wall Street for a ride we'll be referencing for decades to come. Using interviews with victims, former employees, whistleblowers, investigators, and never-before-seen footage of depositions given by Madoff himself, it's clear that he's a master of manipulation, though the filmmakers point to the failure of regulators to act on the many red flags they saw along the way. —*M.S.*

Making a Murderer (2015–2018)

Steven Avery in 'Making a Murderer'. Netflix

Over two seasons, viewers are walked through the events that landed Steven Avery in prison for nearly 20 years before he was eventually exonerated, only to end up back behind bars once accused of murdering a young photographer on his property. However, things are not as straightforward as they seem, with the docuseries generating plenty of publicity and calls to release Avery, all while Wisconsin officials cry foul over its depiction of their work. —*M.S.*

Our Father (2022)

Keith Boyle as Donald Cline in 'Our Father'. Netflix

As far as true crime documentaries go, this one shows how dreams can actually become the stuff of nightmares without any murder or gory mayhem. *Our Father* details the shock and horror several people experienced when they learned they are half-siblings fathered by Donald Cline, a popular fertility doctor in Indianapolis who used his own sperm to impregnate dozens of patients without their knowledge that he was the donor. The film takes us through the families' discoveries and reveals the most unsettling truth of all: There's little, if any, accountability for this kind of fertility fraud. —*M.S.*

The Perfect Neighbor (2025)

Ajike Owens' family in 'The Perfect Neighbor'.

Florida is known for employing a stand-your-ground law, a legal policy that provides residents the option of employing lethal force rather than retreating as a means of self-defense. The law has proven controversial in the past, but in 2023, it was tested when 35-year-old Ajike Owens was shot through a locked door while waiting to speak with her neighbor.

*The Perfect Neighbor* gives an unvarnished accounting of the events leading up to and following Owens' murder using body cam footage collected during the police's prior visits to the killer's house. What emerges is a documentary free from editorializing — the story is told by Ajike, her neighbors, the police investigating the conflicts, and the killer herself. The events in the film are hard to stomach, but the systemic issues the documentary highlights make *The Perfect Neighbor* a must-watch. *—I.G.*

ReMastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke (2019)

'ReMastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke'.

Singer-songwriter Sam Cooke only lived for 33 years, but during that time, he solidified his legacy as the "King of Soul." Cooke was killed in Los Angeles in 1964 by the manager of a motel; the courts later declared his death a "justifiable homicide." In this episode of Netflix's *ReMastered*, the docuseries focuses on Cooke's influence in life as a musician and activist, the circumstances that led to his death, and the theories surrounding the truth of what actually happened on Dec. 11, 1964, at the Hacienda Motel in South Central Los Angeles. *—I.G*

Sins of Our Mother (2022)

April Raymond in 'Sins of Our Mother'. Everett Collection

*Sins of Our Mother* is not for the faint of heart. Through firsthand accounts, viewers are introduced to Lori Vallow and her descent into intense religious fanaticism, with beliefs that people are filled with either "dark" or "light" spirits (or worse, spiritless "zombies" she and her fifth husband were tasked with killing off), that she could communicate with angels, and that the world would end in 2020.

Soon, people started to turn up dead or missing, including two of Vallow's children — and this limited docuseries examines the build-up and aftermath of the troubled mother's alleged crimes. Even those who are only mildly interested in true crime stories won't be able to turn away from this one. —*M.S.*

The Staircase (2004–2018)

Michael Peterson in 'The Staircase'. Sundance Channel

This 13-episode true crime miniseries covers the murder trial of Michael Peterson, a novelist who was accused of killing his wife, Kathleen, in their home after police found her bloody body at the bottom of a staircase. The question facing law enforcement seems straightforward enough: Was Kathleen's death a cold-blooded murder or an honest accident? But when Michael's secrets and a bit of international intrigue get thrown into the mix, things start to get hazy.

The family at the center is left questioning everything as a documentary crew films their journey right from the start. With universal acclaim and real footage from the courtroom and family interviews over several years, *The Staircase *is one of the most intriguing true crime series on Netflix. —*M.S.*

**Director:** Jean-Xavier de Lestrade******

Strong Island (2017)

Yance Ford in 'Strong Island'. Netflix

Yance Ford's Oscar-nominated documentary about the 1992 murder of his brother William is a deeply personal story of racial injustice. Told from Ford and his family's perspective, the film delves into the murder and subsequent trial, where an all-white jury failed to convict the killer, Mark P. Reilly, a white man. It's a difficult watch, but one that continues to be relevant as America reckons with the sins of the past.

As EW's critic wrote of the film, "*Strong *builds a poignant, methodical portrait of loss. Telling William's story won't bring him back, but at least it will let the world know he lived." —*M.S.*

Where to watch *Strong Island*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Director:** Yance Ford

The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo (2020)

Marisela Escobedo in 'The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo'. Netflix

This searing doc is all about the persistence of a grieving mother and her tireless journey to seek justice. Marisela Escobedo was a Mexican woman who became a social activist after the murder of her 16-year-old daughter, Rubí Frayre. She tracked down Rubí's killer, who subsequently confessed but was found innocent due to lack of evidence, which sparked outrage and caused Escobelo to keep fighting for justice and get a circuit court to overturn the acquittal.

The film delves into corruption within the Mexican judicial system while also delivering an emotionally wrenching experience for the audience, serving as a powerful testament to a mother's love. —*K.J.*

Tiger King (2020)

A tiger and Joe Exotic in 'Tiger King'. Netflix

The drama that erupted between feuding big cat keepers "Joe Exotic" and Carole Baskin captivated audiences just as the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill. Viewers were drawn into the world of the tiger trade in the heart of the nation, the bizarre characters that run the industry, and the various crimes they commit in their power struggle. With accusations of everything from animal abuse to attempted murder (plus a weird sex cult), *Tiger King* is one wildly entertaining true crime series. —*M.S.*

Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom (2023)

Jens Soering in 'Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom'. Netflix

This twisty four-part docuseries chronicles the case of Jens Soering and Elizabeth Haysom, a couple charged with the 1985 murders of Haysom's parents. While Soering fully confessed to the murders, he would ultimately change his statement on the stand, implicating Haysom. The pair's conflicting testimonies made the case a big media sensation, with extensive coverage in the decades to come even after their convictions.

*Till Murder Do Us Part* seeks to determine the truth behind it all using innovative technology and extensive research. One of the most compelling elements is new testimony from Soering himself, who was interviewed for the series following his 2019 prison release. —*K.J.*

Some people join Tinder to find love; others join to find marks. In *The Tinder Swindler*, director Felicity Morris investigates how an Israeli-born man posing as a Russian diamond heir managed to con multiple women out of millions of dollars by pretending to date them, before asking for emergency funds. A film that starts out as glamorous and aspirational as an Instagram influencer's photo album, *The Tinder Swindler *soon takes a sharp turn into thriller territory.

Instantly addictive and terrifying enough to cause viewers to reconsider their online dating habits, *The Tinder Swindler *shows how easily smart people are rendered vulnerable when love is involved. *—I.G.* **

In 2021, a scandal divided a small town in Michigan. A high school girl and her boyfriend started receiving threatening texts from an unknown number — and no one could figure out who was sending them. The harassment continued for a year, during which time the school, law enforcement, and FBI got involved. They eventually figured out where the texts were coming from, and the culprit shocked *everyone*.

*Unknown Number: The High School Catfish* is one of those documentaries that is so outrageous, it gets people talking. And if you've somehow managed to avoid spoilers, log off right now and watch the film before that changes. But even if you've had the twist spoiled by the online discourse, the film is still worth watching: It's one of those stories that's so wild, you have to see it to believe it. *—I.G*

Victim/Suspect (2023)

Amanda Pike and Rae de Leon in 'Victim/Suspect'.

Studies indicate that the majority of women who experience sexual assault do not report the abuse, and the documentary *Victim/Suspect *gives some insight into one reason why women stay silent. Led by investigative journalist Rae de Leon, *Victim/Suspect* tells the story of young women who reported their abuse to the police, only to find themselves charged with the crime of having made a false report. A sobering account of the criminal, legal, and financial burdens foist upon sexual abuse survivors who are only trying to tell the truth, *Victim/Suspect *gives terrifying insight into one deeply flawed area of America's justice system. *—I.G.*

Wild Wild Country (2018)

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh in 'Wild Wild Country'. Netflix

*Wild Wild Country* tells the story of the controversial Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, who set out to build his utopia in rural Oregon, much to the chagrin of local residents and ranchers. As tensions escalate, so does the growing cult, leaving the surrounding community cornered both physically and bureaucratically until their jaw-dropping last resort. The universally acclaimed docuseries is wildly devourable, and goes one step further by calling the audience's own values into question, testing the separation between church and state by turning the entire ideal on its head. —*M.S.*

Kim Kardashian is a proud momager!

On the Nov. 6 episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder, 45, took her 6-year-old son, Psalm West, to the studio to make his voice acting debut in Angry Birds 3.

"I'm so excited because he's so excited," Kardashian said in a confessional as they arrived at the studio and met director John Rice and others working on the movie. "As crazy as my schedule is, I will always make time to do all the important things with my kids ... I don't want to stop my kids from doing what they want to do so I tailor my life around my kids' schedules."

Psalm could then be seen revealing his favorite character is Red before being told that he was going to play a character who is the son of Red and Silver, played by Jason Sudeikis and Rachel Bloom.

"He has the cutest voice you've ever heard, it's this raspy little voice and when they called and asked if he was interested in this role of a new bird, he was so excited," Kardashian continued.

Taking his seat in the recording chair next to his mom, Psalm started reading his lines as the director praised the 6-year-old's voice.

The mom of four also heaped praise on her youngest son and called him "the smartest, silliest little boy."

"He's a total go-with-the-flow kid. I can give him Legos and say, 'Sit here for five hours, I have to work,' and he'll just be like, 'Okay mommy.' Never says no, never goes against anything. Just is a dream child."

"And [he's] the most independent," she continued. "He loves to dance. He would never have a tantrum. He's just so chill."

Psalm's role in the upcoming movie, which is set to be released on Jan. 29, 2027, was announced back in April.

While North voiced a character called Mini and Kardashian a poodle called Delores, Saint was also featured in a cameo role as Meteor Max. The film also featured the likes of Kristen Bell and James Marsden.

Jennifer Lawrence has not been shy about talking politics in the past, especially when it came to slamming Donald Trump. But now, she's questioning that decision.

"I don't really know if I should," Lawrence told *The New York Times* on the outlet's *The Interview* podcast when asked how she feels about speaking out now. "During the first Trump administration, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But as we've learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's going to add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart."

When Trump first announced his candidacy in 2015, Lawrence was not afraid to voice her political concerns publicly. For instance, Lawrence told EW that year, "If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world. I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment."

And after Trump won, Lawrence wrote an essay for Broadly. "Do not let this defeat you — let this enrage you!" she wrote at the time. "Let it motivate you! Let this be the fire you didn't have before. If you are an immigrant, if you are a person of color, if you are LGBTQ+, if you are a woman — don't be afraid, be loud!"

Robert Pattinson reviews the food he ate from Jennifer Lawrence's trash: 'She must have a really nice trash haul'

Jennifer Lawrence responds to people finding her annoying in old interviews: I was rejected 'for my personality'

Now, she told the *Times* that, at 35 and a lot more experienced in Hollywood, she is finding herself "in a complicated recalibration because I'm also an artist," she explained. "I don't want to start turning people off to films and to art that could change consciousness or change the world because they don't like my political opinions," she added. "I want to protect my craft so that you can still get lost in what I'm doing. And if I can't say something that's going to speak to some kind of peace or lowering the temperature or some sort of solution, I don't want to be a part of the problem. I don't want to make the problem worse."

When the outlet asked the Oscar winner if she regrets how she "dealt with things before," Lawrence admitted, "Probably? I regret everything I've ever done or said. I'm going to take the zip drives out of all of these cameras when I leave. The second term feels different. Because he said what he was going to do. We knew what he did for four years. He was very clear. And that's what we chose."

Jennifer Lawrence attends the 'Die My Love' New York premiere on Nov. 1, 2025.
