Netflix has a knack for treating its subscribers with amazing stories. The streaming platform has an abundance of true-crime documentaries and docuseries which tell the world about all the crazy stuff that took place in the past. The genre of true-crime docuseries has been redefined by Netflix because of its wide reach and popularity.

From ‘The Night Stalker’ and ‘Sons of Sams’ to ‘The Keepers’ and ‘The Ripper’, the streaming platform has been giving us a lot of nightmares by showing the true (and sometimes evil) nature of some of the most notorious people in the world. One of the upcoming docuseries also talks about a group that stunned the world by successfully completing three incredibly daring and famous heists.
