'It's a one season banger': Your favourite underrated true crime shows
True crime isn't for the faint of heart, but its popularity among TV fans shows no sign of slowing down. From documentaries to dramatisations, there's no shortage of such shows on the streaming platforms. Just recently, we've seen the return of BBC's The Gold, while a harrowing Netflix documentary on the crimes of Fred and Rose West soared up the most-watched chart. And there's even rumours that the much-loved Mindhunter could be making a return. Whether you get your fix from well-worn cases or crimes that went unnoticed by the wider public, there's something for everyone.

It's way more than just shock value, it's a complex, layered story.'

The series proved popular with fans and critics alike, earning an impressive 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Daily Beast wrote in their review: 'With firecracker performances from Jon Bernthal and Josh Charles, it's a worthy spiritual successor to The Wire, in all its greatness.'

Where to watch: All six episodes are available to stream on Apple TV Plus, Now TV and Sky. In the drugs trade, 'zero zero zero' is the nickname for the very purest, highest quality grade of cocaine.

Critics gave the series a near-perfect 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while TV fans on Reddit have raved about how 'underrated' it is.

Viewers have called the three-part series 'riveting', 'fascinating' and 'binge-worthy'.

First airing on BBC One and now available on Netflix, The Serpent tells the true story of French serial killer Charles Sobhraj (played by Tahar Rahim), who preyed on travellers exploring South Asia's 'hippie trail' in the 70s.

According to the BBC, The Serpent was streamed a total of 33 million times between January and March on iPlayer. Where to watch: Stream all eight episodes on Netflix.

Macchiarini, meanwhile, is a former surgeon who rose to fame for developing the world's first artificial windpipe. However, many of his patients ended up dying or had complications following surgery. He was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison in 2023 by a Swedish court. More Trending Dr. Death has a very respectable 86% Rotten Tomatoes score across its two seasons, with the first series enjoying an impressive 93%. It's been hailed as 'stomach-knotting', 'impactful' and 'chilling' by TV critics, with several comparing it to a horror movie. The Irish Independent wrote in their review: 'It's an absolutely terrific performance by Jackson in a drama brimming with stomach-knotting tension. Every scene he's in is freighted with a sense of dread at what's going to happen next. Superb.'

Netflix series about Spotify's origins sees resurgence in popularity
Netflix 's The Playlist, a six-part miniseries fictionalizing the creation of Spotify, is experiencing a resurgence years after its 2022 debut. Despite initially being overlooked by many subscribers, the show has garnered a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and critical acclaim for its 'near-perfect' portrayal and critique of the music industry. Inspired by the book Spotify Untold, the series dedicates each episode to a different facet of the music industry, offering varied perspectives. Netflix has a habit of prematurely cancelling acclaimed series, including past examples like The OA and Mindhunter. The recent cancellation of the murder mystery The Residence, starring Uzo Aduba, is highlighted, despite its positive reviews and strong ratings, possibly due to high internal performance expectations.

Not just The Residence, Netflix has canceled two more beloved shows
Netflix has canceled three beloved shows after just one season – the detective show The Residence, the medical drama Pulse, and the comedy No Good Deed. Netflix often cancels shows if they fail to receive high standards of viewership. Mindhunter, The OA, and Sense8 were among some of the most popular shows that were dropped sooner than fans expected. Not just The Residence, Netflix has canceled two more beloved shows (Unsplash - representational image) No Good Deed and Pulse were met with mixed reviews by critics. However, The Residence was quite well received, with an 85% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The synopsis of the show reads, "132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world's most famous mansion." Netflix's synopsis of No Good Deed reads, 'The sale of Paul and Lydia's picture-perfect LA home forces them to face painful family secrets — and hide them from prying eyes and cutthroat buyers.' Netflix says of Pulse, 'A group of ER residents navigate medical crises and personal drama amid a divisive allegation at their Miami hospital.' When Uzo Aduba opened up about her love for Cordelia Cupp Uzo Aduba, who stars in the show, has not spoken out about the cancellation yet even though she has been active on social media. Most recently, the actress shared her workout routine, saying in a post, "I learn so much from the fitness community I'm surrounded by and I'm SO lucky to go to a gym that pushes, supports, and listens to me. Keep going team, we got this." Aduba previously spoke about her admiration for the character Cordelia Cupp. She told The Hollywood Reporter in the past, "When it came to this script, I was really interested in the pace. It just had a wonderful crispness and cadence to it.' She added, "I think the very first thing as it relates to Cordelia that I was interested in was I could just very quickly hear her voice more than anything. I could hear how she processes information [and] thinks. I felt inspired by her voice, which to me felt very deliberate, very intentional."

Hidden gem streaming service cheaper than Netflix is perfect for thriller fans
Mindhunter, Stranger Things and most recently the third season of Squid Game — many of the most popular shows in streaming come from the thriller and horror genres. But what if you could cut the cost of your subscriptions by paying for one streaming service that has hundreds of these gripping titles all in one place? Let us introduce you to Shudder. It's a lesser-known video on demand (VOD) service that works similarly to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus and the like. Users pay a subscription fee for access to the content library, but, unlike the more mainstream streaming services, Shudder has a more niche catalogue. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. It calls itself 'a premium streaming service offering the best selection of horror, thriller and supernatural movies, series and specials' — but horror is probably the genre it's known best for. Shudder's general manager, Craig Engler, previously told Mashable: 'Most streaming services are trying to be all things to all viewers. We're focused on one thing. 'The result is that, even though we're not as big as Netflix or Prime Video, our shows and movies are ranked right up alongside theirs, or in many cases ahead of theirs.' And unlike free streaming services such as Tubi and Pluto, which some TV fans are using as alternatives or supplements to the bigger streamers, Shudder has no ad breaks. It costs £4.99 per month, or subscribers can pay £49.99 annually, which works out at roughly £4.17 per month. That makes it 60% cheaper than Netflix, which costs £12.99 per month for the ad-free plan. Meanwhile, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and Apple TV Plus all currently cost £8.99 per month without ads, roughly 30% more than the cost of Shudder. If you're unsure whether to commit, you can sign up to Shudder's seven-day free trial. Horror fans can subscribe via and watch on a desktop or the Shudder app. It's also possible to watch on a TV screen with Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay, or via Amazon Prime Video. For the latter option, users will need to already have Prime Video and purchase an extra subscription to Shudder on top. With this, all of Shudder's content will appear when browsing Prime Video on the TV. However, it's worth bearing in mind that you're unlikely to find recent box office hits on Shudder — it's offering focuses more on indie and cult-classics, making it better suited to true horror and thriller buffs than mainstream audiences. Halloween, Day of the Dead and Insidious are some of the best-known titles on the streamer, while more recent releases include Grafted and The Ugly Stepsister. When it comes to TV shows, Shudder's offering is fairly light compared to its movie catalogue. Popular series include Hannibal, starring Mads Mikkelsen, horror anthology series Channel Zero and Creepshow (the latter of which is based on the 1982 horror comedy classic), as well as reality competition show Dragula. Documentaries such as Cursed Films, which explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood's biggest horror movies, and The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time are also popular TV shows on the streamer. Shudder produces its own original and exclusive content too, and in addition to the online library there's Shudder TV, a 24/7 channel with an endless stream of horror movies that's updated weekly. Metro reporter and resident horror fan, Rebecca Sayce, uses Shudder and gives it a glowing review. 'As an avid horror fan (from big blockbuster haunted house flicks to extreme niche indie splatterfests), Shudder is an essential for me. The streaming service compiles everything from the latest huge feature films to shorts, original documentaries, and hidden gems otherwise lost among their peers. The curation of titles is a testament to the Shudder team's passion for horror, offering a variety for genre fans not seen with other streaming services — and for just £5 a month, a bargain at that. 'I've discovered many titles I wouldn't otherwise have seen thanks to Shudder, like their incredibly informative Horror Noire documentary exploring the history of Black horror cinema, and films that have fast become constant watches for me (like 2023 smash hit Late Night With The Devil, and Demian Rugna's unbelievably brutal When Evil Lurks). If you're a fan of all things that go bump in the night, you need to invest in Shudder.' Reviews of Shudder are mostly positive, with fans praising the low cost and unique content offering. On Reddit, one user said of the streamer: 'They have a pretty varied variety of films. Classics, B-movie, modern. It runs the gamut. You're bound to find something that interests you.' Another added: 'Most of the critically acclaimed festival movies seem to end up on Shudder first. So I'm all about it.' One fan wrote: 'I have it and always used it. They have good stuff and it's cheaper than most other services,' while another said: 'Insane deal. I have had Shudder since it was first released and never felt the need to cancel.' But others said they tend to only use Shudder for a few months at a time, mostly around Halloween. Reddit user RestlessAstronaut wrote: 'I've had Shudder on and off for the last few years. It has some great content on there…but…there's not a whole lot of new content uploads per month. 'I've found it's better for me personally to get it for a month or two, watch what's new then put it on pause for a few months and come back later.' Another user agreed: 'This is exactly what I do with it…over the Halloween period it's great to grab for a month, but I agree I wouldn't have a constant sub to it without more new content a month.' More Trending And one added: 'I'm also one of those who orders Shudder on October 2 and cancels it on November 2.' Others suggested that fans of horror and thrillers can save money by using Tubi instead. 'Honestly, Tubi is where it's at for horror in my opinion. If you already have Netflix or another service, Tubi fills in the gaps for a lot of horror movies. And it's free,' one user said.
