Recommended TV Shows - Podcasts etc

There's a lot of true crime around these days so it might be a good idea to have a thread for recommendations for shows which won't have their own dedicated thread.

Wild Wild Country - Netflix
about the Rajneeshee Cult who moved to America in the late 80's - Bizarre story which get's stranger as it goes along.

Murder Mountain - Netflix
A look at an area in Hunboldt County in California known as Murder Mountain. Locals are very much outlaws in the Wild West where people regularly go missing. Lots of Marijuana is produced here both legally and illegally.

Abducted in Plain Sight - Netflix
Just added on Netflix - Bizarre story about a girl who was kidnapped by her neighbour...twice!

Homicide Hunter - CI
Love a bit of homicide hunter with Joe Kenda - a retired detective with a great record of solving crimes. Multiple episodes available on Skygo.

Follow true Crime daily and Buzzfeed unsolved on Youtube - they usually have really good content.

I'd recommend don't **** with cats on Netflix if anyone is looking for a true crime fix for Christmas. 3 episodes. Very odd, bizarre, let me know what you think.

8-10

Who Killed Garrett Phillips is a decent 2 parter about the murder of a 12 year old boy a few years back in upstate New York.

Watched this on a flight recently, good documentary but I think they left a few things out having since listened to the Generation Why podcast on the same case.

I'm watching the Petit Grégory documentary on Netflix now and wow, what a case that is. I still have 2 episodes to go but that whole family is intriguing. Much more of a whodunnit than your standard true crime story.

Given that this was the biggest story in France at the time (1984), there's a lot of original footage.

She really does have a great voice, doesn't she?

I've just recently started listening to Criminal: https://thisiscriminal.com/

It's got a variety of stuff on there, the most recent one 'A New Kind of Life' is grim but not in a bloody way, about a man who fell in love with a woman and decided to try to cure her tuberculosis. Romantic, right?
He continued trying to cure her after she died...long after she died A very odd case.

I've enjoyed the few I have listened to so far about fraud, murder and ^^ that one.

I could listen to Phoebe Judge talk about anything. Such a great voice for podcasting.

Incredible stuff, amazing footage as well, some extremely harrowing images at times though.

What annoyed me about it though is that they talk bout the town of Potsdam being so small where everybody knows each other.....yet the neighbours across the hall and the ones outside who were witnesses didn't actually know the family or victim.

The Devil Next Door was just added to Netflix today.

'A Cleveland grandfather is brought to trial in Israel, accused of being the infamous Nazi death camp guard known as Ivan the Terrible. '

Oh is that where she kept texting him to commit suicide? Think Gen Why covered it.

Yeah that's the one.

So Sky have launched a new TV channel called Sky Crime and I must say it looks really good. Some great content included especially in the on demand section.

Lots of stuff off channels like CI but also shows like The Jinx, The case against Adnan Syed, East Area Rapist and Britain's most evil killers.

I watched "I love you now die" last night and it's a fascinating case. I heard something on this before but didn't know the detail. Involves a young couple and a suicide and is well worth watch imo.

Hi I would like to add my own website here, if thats allowed. I have been writing about The Irish Mob for the past while and with some great success I might add. I write a lot about the Prohibition Era and the Gangs of New York type stuff but do cover stuff in Ireland too but nothing recent or current, just the historic stuff 15 years +.

I cover from the early 1800's to the Prohibition Era and beyond that, Dublin, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, St. Louis, Boston, New Jersey and more. Its not all crime, I cover where Irish Immigrants began to live in the US, the areas where they lived, the politicians, the culture, the people connected, victims and anything else I can think of.

Im just an amateur who writes this for a bit of fun and a hobby but try my hardest to get everything factually and historically right, so far I havent had to pull a story for errors or inaccuracies, maybe a quick edit to change a date or something small. But generally my stories have been well received.

Here is my website, hope its ok to post it - https://theirishmob.com/ there is also a Facebook page of the same name

Court Junkie is good

The Golden State Killer too

The Lady Vanishes (disappearance of Marion Barter) is quite good. Bit long winded but worth a listen. Interesting case.

I've never liked podcasts, I don't know why just not my thing.
But there was one Podcast Series I listened to that I just could not put down. It was the best produced podcast I have listened to, so gripping.

It was the West Cork podcast on Audible , about Sophie Toscan Du Plantier. 2 British journalists came to west Cork and spent a lot of time with Ian Baily. Very interesting and highly recommend it to anyone. It really changed my opinion on the case and who it could have been and a lot more information than I had previously not known about the case (having grown up in West Cork !)

Now I know this is an Irish case but I'm just recommending the podcast so it's probably best to avoid discussing the details of the case as per forum rules!

Came across this podcast; really interesting one.Hadn't heard of this guy before. Interesting to have his daughter so involved.

Also this one was very good, horrific case but covered pretty well.

3 episodes into I am a killer on Netflix and it's really good. Stories of people on death row in the US. Brings a new angle and is really well put together.

GingerLily

I'm liking season 4 of Uncover Podcast, it's slow paced but a really interesting story about an ongoing investigation.

Boom_Bap

There's a newish show on Netflix called Exhibit A, it's all about forensic analysis and how they changed a case.
It's not the most amazing show in the world, but it's a good look at how the forensics are used, and how they are disputed.
There is a different case in each episode, not a case that you will involve yourself in too much.

Anyone listening to Red Handed? really enjoying it, wasn't sure at first but its really grown on me.

Same! I listened to the first episode on Castbox, wasn’t a case but they were locked in the cupboard :pac: and the sound quality put me off. I didn’t go back to it for a while, but I was pleased to hear that all the subsequent episodes are much improved, am absolutely addicted to it now.
I had already binged all of Crime Junkie’s episodes and love them too, but I think I prefer Red Handed.

They’re hilarious while still being respectful to the victims, I love when they go off on rants about the killers.

I stumbled upon this by accident last night. It's a no-budget doc on the death of Stuart Lubbock at Michael Barrymore's house.

As I get older I really take everything I see/read with a pinch of salt.

I had only a rough idea of what happened so it's good for giving more detail. Who knows what's true or what's not.

I was just coming to post the same thing! Took me a few episodes to get into but really enjoying it now. Love their take on the cases I'm familiar with, and there are a few they've covered that I hadn't heard of so I'll be going down the rabbit hole!

Goalpurse

Case file is my number one and has been since the beginning ðŸ™Œ

I use the app castbox for all my podcasts and also listen to

sword & scale - they have actual 911 calls and interviews tapes for the most part and isn’t narrated as heavily as most.

They walk among us

And UK True Crime podcast.

The two last mentioned post every week unlike some others that can be a little inconsistent ðŸ™‚

I’ve just subscribed to some of the mentioned above. Can’t wait to binge. I’m all caught up on the ones I listen to

If you enjoyed that, check out the Ken Burns documentary on it from 2012. Excellent stuff.

I'm really enjoying 22 Hours, which is a deep dive into the DC mansion murders: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/22-hours-an-american-nightmare/id1461511691

It's very well done, there are 3 episodes so far with new episodes on Mondays!

Also recently discovered Crime Junkie and listened to a really interesting episode about the Austin yogurt shop murders: https://crimejunkiepodcast.com/austin-yogurt-shop-murders/ I hadn't heard of the case before, it's so fcuking sad and I can't believe it's still unsolved

Here's an interesting perspective on the Central Park 5 from the other victims.

The TV series is incredible, everything about it is amazing.

The Prosecution attorney has since been dropped from her board roles, dropped from publishers and bookstores are pulling her books from shelves.
