The Best True Crime Shows to Binge-Watch on Netflix Right Now

In a world where big-budget superhero movies and franchises are taking over modern cinema, it can be hard for the hopeless romantics among us to find a good old-fashioned romantic comedy. Fortunately for those who like a classic "will-they-won’t-they story" about an unlikely couple falling in love, Netflix is here to let you stream some of the best and most hilarious rom-coms.

When someone says they're a fan of horror movies, they could mean a lot of things — that they love tense psychological thrillers like Gerald's Game, meta-classics like the Scream franchise, supernatural scare-fests like The Autopsy of Jane Doe, or one of the many other heart-pounding and harrowing subgenres to choose from.

Since then, the streaming platform has produced a deep vault of original programming to suit any viewer's mood, from historical dramas () to Spanish-language primetime soaps () to zany ensemble comedies (). Oh, and there’s no shortage of must-watch docuseries, fascinating home shows and addictive reality series.   

George Costanza can really belt it.

Much like its genre neighbors science-fiction and fantasy, supernatural programming allows viewers to escape into a world different than our own, one that is full of the unknown. Sometimes, these shows are scary and full of creatures that go bump in the night, while others make us laugh and inject a dose of levity into stressful situations.

As Bong Joon Ho rightfully pointed out, if you can conquer a one-inch subtitle, then entire worlds of storytelling will open up to you. And you don't even have to leave your house to get there.

One reason horror movies are so great is that they make for a perfect distraction from anything that might be on your mind. And if you're anything like us, you could surely use a good distraction right about now.

Binge-watching a new TV show is a chance to put the real world on hold, and isn't that something we could all use more of right about now? For those who want to indulge in a little escapism, nothing beats the fantastical (and often physically impossible) worlds of science-fiction.
