Netflix's latest true-crime documentary The Innocent Man was released today and it is already being described as 'gripping'.
The documentary examines two murders in the Oklahoma town of Ada in the 1980s and features interviews with the victims' friends and families, local residents, lawyers, journalists, and others with perspective on the cases.

It is also based on John Grisham's best-selling non-fiction book The Innocent Man: Murder And Injustice In A Small Town.
Described by Ready Steady Cut as gripping and forcing viewers to binge watch for hours we definitely think it is one to try this weekend.
They wrote: "Due to similar documentaries, The Innocent Man will offer no surprises, but it does not take away the engaging factor that grips viewers and forces them to binge hours on end on Netflix.

"Mishaps from the police, shoddy defence and prosecutor tactics and the frustrating justice system all come into the fold during the series. The Innocent Man adds to the impressive list of documentaries available on Netflix."
Although it has been described as having 'no surprises' the people of Twitter seem to think other wise with fans claiming they are 'hooked' already' despite it only being released today.
One fan wrote: "The Innocent Man on Netflix. I'm half hour in and I'm hooked."

Another added: "If you like crime documentaries watch The Innocent Man on Netflix," with a third adding: "Ay that The Innocent Man documentary on Netflix is intense".
If you're a fan of Making a Murderer .then it is likely you will enjoy the new addition to Netflix as it features archived videos and images taken in the 1980s, which is similar to the Netflix hit.
The series was developed by Tweel and Ross Dinerstein and produced by Maura Anderson and Shannon Rigg.

Tweel said: "As a filmmaker, I often find that the best stories are the ones we tell ourselves. But what surprised me was the extent to which that idea also permeates the criminal justice system. By re-examining these old cases, I hope that viewers will identify the biases involved, even their own."
The Innocent Man is available to stream on Netflix now.
