All the true crime podcasts I listen to this week seem to have had very gruesome episodes; casefile and red handed particularly

Anyone else notice this?

Operation Odessa is a good documentary on Netflix, bit bizarre and unbelievable but it did happen, well worth a watch, might be leaving Netflix shortly.

How did you hear it might be leaving Netflix? Ya, that's a great one alright. I speculate that they deliberately copied the style of Cocaine Cowboys, which is another doc I recommend. They are both very similar, and both very, very entertaining.

Think maybe when I started watching it it gave a leaving date but not sure.

The Opportunist is a good 8 parter.

The Opportunist will launch with an episodic series on Sherry Shriner, a midwest mom and life-long churchgoer turned internet cult leader. Hosted by Hannah Smith, the series follows Sherry as she gains thousands of followers online by promoting her own religion (a blend of biblical doomsday predictions and popular alien/reptilian conspiracy theories) and profits on selling spiritual weapons that defeat aliens and demons.

As she rises to the status of infallible goddess, she leaves a trail of death and destruction in her wake. We speak with family & friends of deceased cult members, prosecutors, police officers, a high profile cult expert and more. Through thought-provoking interviews and investigative reporting, The Opportunist invites the listener along with us on a thrilling journey of discovery.

Just a heads up - The West Cork podcast is now freely available on all platforms, it's no longer stuck behind the Audible paywall.

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 posted this way back on the thread. Worth a look if anyone is interested, especially as the Daily Mail ( I know, I know) are saying charges are imminent.

The doc does everything bar flash a big neon guilty sign over who did it.

Season 1 is very watchable, too

I can't put into words how much I despise True Crime Junkie.

"Wait, What?"

"OH my god, full body chills"

"Uhhhhh" deep intake of breath.

Absolute trash and by all accounts they pay their scriptwriters a pittance.

I knew there was one on Netflix next week but didn't realise Sky had one too, must look it up!

It's one of those cases that I really struggle to get my head around, so find different perspectives very interesting and helpful.

There's an Irish fella called Mike who has a Youtube channel devoted to murders and unsolved cases, it's called "That Chapter", he does a very good job researching each episode, each one is 25-30 minutes long and he manages to heep things a little upbeat despite the subject matter.

I'm a big fan, love the dark humor he throws in, fair play to him. Hope the channel continues to go from strength to strength.

The Grace Millane case was on sky crime and was well put together. Tragic case. Lots of CCTV footage made it very interesting viewing. Well worth watching.

Six silent killings : Irelands vanishing triangle on sky documentaries is worth a watch. 2 parter.

He's doing very well for himself, gets recommended a lot on Reddit so has found a worldwide audience. Good for him.

The cadaver dogs at the end of the show where in July, has the garda done anything since then??

Just watched this. Very sad, but as you say, interesting viewing with all the CCTV footage in days following the crime. Would recommend if you like true crime.
