What to Watch: Netflix True Crime Documentary for the Week of November 24
True crime documentaries have a way of gripping viewers like nothing else, and the new three-part series premiering on Netflix this Monday is no exception. “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” delves deeply into the tragic and unsolved murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey in 1996.
For those not familiar with the case, the Ramsey family woke up on the day after Christmas to discover that JonBenét was missing. What followed was a terrifying series of events, culminating in the discovery of JonBenét’s lifeless body in the family’s basement. The Boulder police department, inexperienced in handling such serious cases, focused their suspicion on the Ramsey family, igniting a national obsession that persists to this day.
Now, renowned director Joe Berlinger aims to shed new light on the case in the hopes of finally bringing the perpetrator to justice. By interviewing key figures such as John Ramsey and revisiting the investigation, Berlinger’s documentary promises to uncover new insights into this chilling crime.
While the subject matter of “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” is undeniably disturbing, it offers a compelling look into one of the most perplexing murder mysteries in recent memory. If you decide to watch, I recommend following it up with something lighthearted to balance out the heavy content.
On a lighter note, for those looking for a break from true crime, “Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary” is a fun and informative documentary coming soon to Max. Featuring behind-the-scenes stories of iconic musicians from the Yacht Rock era, this documentary is sure to entertain fans of music history.
As we head into Thanksgiving week, there’s plenty of festive programming to enjoy, from classic movies like “Home Alone” to special events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I hope the week ahead brings you comfort, joy, delicious food, great shopping deals, and plenty of easy listening.
