We can't deny it, we all seem to have a bit of an obsession with true crime, especially since Making a Murderer hit screens.
And now Channel 4 has given us a brand new show to get obsessed with, as What Makes a Murderer and it lands on TV tonight.
The show isn't strictly true crime, but more an experiment on convicted killers to see what makes them tick.
It will delve into whether they are biologically or socially prone to murder more than other people, if there is true rhyme or reason to it and whether they actually have control over their actions.

Sounds seriously interesting.
The show will follow criminologist Adrian Raine and forensic psychologist Vicky Thakord-Desai as they conduct experiments on three convicts who have agreed to take part.
In episode one, we're set to see Britain's longest serving murderer, John Massey, who spent 43 years in jail for killing a bouncer with a gun at point blank range in 1975.
He says in the show: "Maybe I'm not the psychopath or the ogre they made me out to be.

"I'm as curious as you are to find out."
He has always resented the label of "cold-blooded murderer" and we'll watch as he undergoes a brain scan to see if he has a shrunken amygdala (like many psychopaths do), which means he has no fear.
We think the TV programme will take our true crime obsession to the next level.
And once that's over, there's no need to stop there, because there's also loads of other true crimes to binge on, too.
For one, Netflix has just added Dream/Killer which sounds similar to Making a Murderer as it centres around a father Bill Ferguson, who took on the American judicial system after his son Ryan was wrongfully sentenced for murder.

Another one to look out for is Who Killed Little Gregory?, a French docu-series also on Netflix that takes a deep dive into the unsolved murder of a young boy named Grégory Villemin who was found in the waters of the Vologne river in France in 1984.
What Makes a Murderer will show tonight (Thursday 21st November) on Channel 4 at 9pm.
