There's a whole lot of new releases dropping on Netflix perfect if you're after something that'll give your pulse racing.
But, there are a bunch of banging series from years gone by that are ideal for a binge-watch if you're looking for your next true crime fix to sink your teeth into.
And there is one in particular, which first hit the streaming platform in 2022, that seems to have gone down a storm with Netflix viewers who are now begging for another season of the '10/10' series which is based on a true story.

The eight-part suspense-packed series follows a psychiatrist who takes in a troubled young patient named Mae who escaped from a devil-worshipping cult, putting her family and life in danger.
While the series, which stars Emily Deschanel and Sam Jaeger, is set in a fictional US town, it is actually loosely based on an extremely eerie true story.
Writer of the series Daria Polatin has previously confirmed that it's based on a true crime case in Ohio.
"The bones of the story are true and happened, and I wanted to take that as a jumping off point," she told Stylist.
Polatin, who adapted the series from her book of the same title, revealed that she invented a fictional Midwestern town where a young woman has a harrowing escape from a satanic cult.
"It’s inspired by true events, but it’s not a documentary," she added. "That’s just a different kind of storytelling.
"For this, I felt that the best outlet would be to free it up creatively and fictionalise the details and let it take on a life of its own. [The real story] did take place in Ohio…"
If you hadn't cracked it already, the series is Devil in Ohio.
Check out the official trailer here:
True crime fanatics are clearly loving the gripping series, with one Facebook user on LADbible's Netflix Bangers page writing: "I absolutely loved it!"
"Loved it. Need another season," penned a second, while a third echoed: "Loved this show. I hope they make a 2nd season."
A fourth admitted: "Loved and enjoyed the show. Felt bad when I heard that they aren't renewing."
"Really good!!" gushed a fifth. "Couldn’t stop watching!"
Someone else chimed in: "I enjoyed it. The cult in that series is very loosely based on an actual cult from Ohio which is what drew me to it."
And a final Facebook user added: "It’s actually really good I hope there’s a season 2."
