Netflix has added a new true crime series to its collection that has been described as 'essential viewing' and 'a shocking documentary that everyone's got to see' Netflix has released a gripping new true crime documentary, hailed as 'essential viewing' and available for a limited time only. The platform, renowned for its compelling documentaries, is kicking off the month with fresh additions to its library, including a series that's bound to have viewers glued to their screens. The four-part series, Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers, revisits the harrowing terror attacks on London's transport system two decades ago, featuring first-hand accounts and previously unseen footage. It delves into the tragic events of July 7, 2005, when four suicide bombers launched an attack on the capital's transport network, resulting in the deaths of 52 people and injuries to more than 770 others. The British Transport Police (BTP) revealed at the time that three explosions occurred on the London Underground around 8.50am near Aldgate, Edgware Road, and Russell Square stations. A fourth bomb detonated at 9.47am aboard a bus rerouted through Tavistock Square, close to the BTP's headquarters at the time. Luke Eccleston, a movie and TV content creator, took to TikTok to recommend Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers to his followers. He urged: "Stop whatever you're doing because Netflix have just dropped a brand new four-part limited series, and trust me when I say that this is an essential viewing. It's a shocking documentary that everyone's got to see." Luke shared insights into the intense Netflix documentary, detailing the harrowing terror attacks and subsequent investigation, featuring interviews with survivors and the prime minister at the time, Tony Blair. The TV fan praised the streaming giant's work, saying: "Now, Netflix have done such a good job with this documentary, as it's such a great and serious documentary where it [doesn't just] delve into the actual original attacks, but [an incident] two weeks later [when] an innocent man was shot. "It's genuinely heartbreaking to see what happened and how it genuinely shocked London so please make sure you get this on your watch list." The tragic case of Jean Charles de Menezes - the 27-year-old misidentified as a terrorist involved in a failed attack later that month and fatally shot by police at Stockwell Underground station - is also covered in the documentary. The perpetrators of the 7/7 bombings were eventually identified as Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain, and Germaine Lindsay. Luke's TikTok followers echoed his recommendation, with comments pouring in about the documentary. One viewer commented: "Great doc, binged it all already." Another recommended it as a "must watch Netflix series." A third shared: "Watched the first two parts and great watch so far. Awful seeing what happened."
