Gabriel Fernandez and Dear Zachary broke my heart 💔I will never recover and I will never watch them again💔
About the Night Stalker ; believe me there's nothing glorifying about the acts of a Coward who jumps people at night in their sleep ; that's for sure.
Always the guy wearing Monster Energy merch…
The ted bundy doc is probably the best on bundy. And the john gacy doc was really good. Not too impressed with ramirez or berkowitz conversation eith a killer
The one about jimmy savile was great and the sons of sam. Which is about an obsessed amatuer journalist trying to pin the son of sam crimes on a cult. The perfect neighbor was fascinating as well
it makes absolutely no sense to me how two people can make a child out of love, and they can still love each other but hate the child
The Pharmacist?
All that for Making a Murderer??? That dog 💩!! This is why I hate Watch Mojo! It was fine when it was Top 10s and like 10 mins long, but I sat thru 30 mins to reveal Making a Murderer! Booooo!!!
Their is never an excuse for murder.
Jesus Christ Mojo, "if you are too squeamish for a doc about murder, watch this one about child grape?" The fuck?
They need to let that man go. That wasn't murder. He was homeless but not evil and anyone claiming to be a guru is a cult leader 👎
Evil genius is such an oxy moron
Watch “Strong Island.” It’s absolutely heartbreaking.
The Night Stalker had no heart and definitely no sense! Anyone from Los Angeles or the Bay area knows to stay out of the hood! He asked for it
The Gabriel Fernandez and Shannon's stories broke my heart. A son lost his life for just being himself. A woman, unborn son and two daughters lost their lives because her husband didn't want to divorce or split custody.
The Perfect Neighbor made me so angry, sad and in rage. The children lost their mother and the neighbor didn't show any remorse for what she did. The Program pissed me off due to how the parents sent their teenagers to these programs to straighten them out, but instead they were getting abused.
Girl in the Picture – one of the best True Crime docs I've seen!
No. 14, Sarma Melngailis:
I mean, immortality of a favorite pet is kind of a good reason but not really.
"I heard a beep, and his whole demeanor changed"
Yeah know crap bro!! He's wearing a bomb colar
Too many ads
10:33 yeah, Floridas stand your ground laws are necessary. Imagine becoming like Canada and having a police chief telling you to just leave your car keys accesible for criminals so they don’t enter your house. The people who want to use stand your ground to justify murder would have done what they did and just claimed the self defense laws.
You can never convince me after watching the Chris Watts documentary that the Mistress didn't have anything to do with it. She knew and helped.
Murdaugh, Take Care of Maya, Twin Flames and the one with the psycho mom who was harassing/texting her own daughter and her daughter's boyfriend should be on this list.
Some of these docs that I’ve seen that I HIGHLY recommend: The Richard Ramirez doc— it’s factual, told as-is and not sensationalized, and has incredible insights and interviews from people at the heart of the investigation. (2) I Just Killed My Dad. This was a wild journey through one child’s hell and being backed into a corner by your own personal satan; it was really compassionately and very well done.
You messed up SO bad by not putting Twin Flames that I'm gonna watch it again right now to do it justice.
The way I'm just waiting for Twin Flames–
Yo are kidding kidding me?!!! You don't have it?!! Wtafu–
If you want to be disturbed or make an emotionless person, watch or make them watch Gabriel Fernandez. It makes a normal person want to vomit.

Perfect Neighbor and American Family are rated way to way low. Maybe I am just a fan of the archival style vs interviews after the fact.
Also, Don't F* With Cats was way too high – maybe I'm misremembering but I thought that the Internet sleuths' impact was very minimal and really came down to one lucky break. In any case, I do remember feeling like the whole series was oversold / a case of bait and switch.
Making of a murderer was eye opening
The Night Stalker was one of the most thrilling documentaries I've ever seen, it literally had me at the edge of my seat
All good documatires and sad and tragic thanks WatchMojo 👏🙏
50 segundos: el caso Fernando Báez Sosa
This maybe an unpopular opinion but the nude pics guy and the fertility doctor should be on the list

Its terrible. Listen to that detective. Probing him. Provoking. Disgusting. I'm glad man is set free. Great video
I've seen some of these. I wish they didn't spoil it by telling what happens in the end.
Why did they show a picture of Karla Homolka next to Luka Magnotta??
I lost sleep over "The Keepers"
