Today, there’s no shortage of true-crime documentaries re-examining present or past cases as well as media sensations that have previously captivated the nation. The latest wave of America’s insatiable appetite for the genre was first sparked by the first season of the podcast , which aired in 2014.

The coronavirus pandemic has affected all of us in one way or another, and although it's terrifying, it has done one good thing too, and that is allow people to find and explore new hobbies. For instance, I have become an amateur detective while binge-watching even more murder mysteries and crime dramas than my previous schedule allowed.

There's nothing like the unscripted drama of real people fighting to see their dreams realized, which is why reality competition shows are so addictive. And with Netflix's already stacked library constantly expanding, it's becoming increasingly difficult to figure out which of these shows are worth that weekend binge since most tend to get lost in the mix.

Why go outside against the advice of doctors, scientists, and your overly concerned mom, when you can stay inside and be safe? Be a good human and watch TV in your house.

With most of the world still on lockdown, every day has been a smoke-filled haze for some staying home in self-quarantine while we shelter from the coronavirus pandemic.
