The latest offering is no different - and fans are already hooked.

Cooking Up Murder: Uncovering the Story of César Román dropped on 10 May and the story has taken viewers on a truly wild ride.

The documentary explores the life of César, who was formerly known as 'King of Cachopo' in Spain, where he was a well-respected chef.

Ultimately, he lands himself in hot water and is disgraced when he is accused of murdering his girlfriend, 25-year-old Heidi Paz, who had two children.

The Madrid Metropolitan reported that Heidi's family noted that César 'mistreated' her, and that he was 'very jealous'.

Heidi's dismembered body was left in a suitcase and discovered in 2018, prompting the investigation.

It was reported that reported that Heidi's murderer had sickeningly cut out her breast implants to prevent her being identified.

The breast implants are thought to have had a serial number, which could have aided the identification process.

Heidi's remains in the suitcase were burned badly and covered in caustic soda, further complicating the identification.

It then transpires that after months of dating César, Heidi left him a note that said she was leaving.

A couple of months later, in August, Heidi visited the flat they had shared to talk to César and this was the last time anybody saw her alive.

César was apprehended in Madrid where he was working under a fake name.

He had lost weight, grown a beard and shaved his head.

He was found by police after a three-month search and taken into custody.

César pleaded not guilty.

People on social media are sharing their reactions to the explosive docuseries.

One person wrote: "#CookingupMurder on Netflix is wild."

Another said: "There’s a new crime doco on Netflix 'Cooking up Murder' and it is infuriating. The defendant is cocky and arrogant."

A third added: "Watching #cookingupmurder. Guys, you have to watch."

And a fourth said: "Cooking Up Murder: Uncovering the Story of César Román is such a fever dream."
