Not all documentaries are suitable for the weak of the heart.

But it might be challenging to select what to watch with so many streaming providers and various options on each service.

Here are some of the best true crime documentaries to stream, covering financial crimes, enigmatic m*rders, cults, and infamous serial ki!!ers.

American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing

This 2023 documentary series, which premieres in time for the Boston Marathon bombing’s ten-year anniversary, delves deeper into the domestic terrorism act.

The family’s hidden history of corruption came to light after Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh, 52, and her son Paul Murdaugh, 22, were discovered de@d at their hunting lodge in June 2021. The Murdaughs, an illustrious legal family from South Carolina linked to numerous m*rders, financial fraud, and other alleged misdeeds, are the subject of this 2023 docuseries.

Uncannily timed, Alex Murdaugh was convicted of ki!!ing Maggie and Paul and given two life sentences in jail not long after this series premiere. Visit Netflix to watch the Murdaugh m*rders: A Southern Scandal

Waco: American Apocalypse

A group of people in Waco, Texas, known as the Branch Davidians, were brainwashed by the self-styled prophet David Koresh to think that the rapture was imminent and that they needed to ambush the American government.

Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence

Hulu provides a deeper look with first-person testimony and a never-before-seen film from Ray and the survivors over three hours. Visit Hulu to view Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult by Sarah Lawrence.

Capturing the Ki!!er Nurse

An intensive care unit nurse, Charles Cullen admitted to ki!!ing at least 40 patients in several hospitals in 2003, but he almost got away with it. This 2022 documentary film provides an inside look at how the detectives made the case. Watch the similarly spooky dramatization of Capturing the Ki!!er Nurse, The Good Nurse, starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain, after it. Visit Netflix to view Capturing the Ki!!er, Nurse.

Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey

This four-part documentary traces the rise and fall of Warren Jeffs, the disgraced former president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Stories from survivors and ex-members of the polygamy-practicing cult are included in the episode.

(According to the LDS church, the FLDS are not connected to the larger church.) Before his later arrest and conviction, Jeffs had up to 78 wives, including 24 underage females, and was in charge of abusing additional women and children. Visit Netflix to view Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey.

The Hillside Strangler: Devil in Disguise

City of Angels and Tinseltown are just some of Los Angeles’s nicknames. But in the 1970s and 1980s, it became known for a much less glamorous title: Serial Ki!!er Capital of America. There were so many serial ki!!ings to keep track of in the decades between the 1969 Manson Family murders and Richard Ramirez’s 1989 conviction, also known as the Night Stalker, that frightened Angelenos and required a flow chart to keep up.

The Skid Row Stabber was there. The murderer of Sunset Strip. A rapist on the West Side. The Toolbox Murderers. The terrible sleeper. More than 20 serial ki!!ers were simultaneously supposedly active in Los Angeles.

The subject of “The Hillside Strangler: Devil in Disguise” is one of the more well-known cases to emerge from that gloomy period. The four-episode series revisits the ki!!ing spree of the phantom who ki!!ed 10 women in Los Angeles in 1977 and 1978, the so-called Hillside Strangler as body after body was discovered abandoned in the hills above Glendale and Eagle Rock, in the area of Dodger Stadium in Elysian Heights, on a residential street in La Crescenta, and next to a highway exit in Los Feliz, the population was paralyzed with fear.

Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, cousins who first appear in this documentary in interrogation rooms, were the men who were ultimately found guilty of the murders. It’s a journey back to the horrifying accounts of the repeated murders and kidnappings that held the peaceful East Los Angeles neighborhoods prisoner in the 1970s.
