"You can find a bit of everything on Tinder, but one little swipe can change your life." This is what you hear as the opening voiceover for the trailer of 'The Tinder Swindler'. Netflix isn't new to the true-crime documentary game. In fact, the streaming giant has put out some of its best documentaries in that specific genre. 'The Tinder Swindler' comes as an addition to that impressive catalog.
