Only a few of Netflix's true-crime docuseries have been hits of the 21 that have dropped so far this year
-
Netflix had two true-crime docuseries hits to kick off 2021 with Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer and Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. But according to Variety, "since Crime Scene, the majority of Netflix’s 2021-premiering original true-crime docuseries have failed to crack the top 10 U.S. TV series ranking for more than at least 14 consecutive days following debut." While Tiger King 2, Murder Among the Mormons, The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness and Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami proved to be hits, most of the other true-crime docuseries failed to catch on.
