True crime lovers have been proper spoilt as of late and it seems the genre is the gift that just keeps on giving.
We've enjoyed Netflix's harrowing Baby Reindeer as well as the eerie What Jennifer Did doc but, just yesterday (22 April), a brand-new doc dropped and people are going absolutely wild for it.
Viewers have since hailed the gripping documentary they've been waiting on for nearly a decade now as 'true crime at its peak'.

Let's rewind some years back, specifically nine years back, to 2015 when The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst first hit our screens.
The six-part groundbreaking docuseries, directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki, dove into the extremely bizarre history of real estate heir, Robert Durst.
Durst was long suspected in the still-unsolved 1982 disappearance of his wife as well as the subsequent murders of family friend Susan Berman and neighbour Morris Black.
The doc came about after nearly a decade of research by the filmmakers, who expose police files, key witnesses, never-before-seen footage, private prison recordings, and thousands of pages of formerly hidden documents.
The night before the last episode aired, Durst was arrested for Berman's murder.
He ended up behind bars for possession of a gun as a felon in 2016, before he was found guilty of Berman's murder in 2021 and sentenced to life in prison.
Prosecutors hoped to convict him of the murder of his first wife too, but he died in 2022 before he could stand trial.
Now, nine years on from the OG doc, The Jinx: Part II has finally landed on our screens - and clearly there's a lot to catch up on.
You can watch the hair-raising trailer below:
And it seems like true crime fanatics can't get enough of it with many rushing to social media to share their excitement.
One X, formerly Twitter, user penned: "First episode of The Jinx Part 2 taking my breath away.
"Just an extraordinary story that surprises at every turn."
A second praised: "The first episode of The Jinx Part 2 and they just came on here swinging out the gate."
"The Jinx Part 2 is much necessary and worth the 9-year wait," gushed a third while a fourth quipped: "So here for The Jinx Part 2!"
Another admitted: "Not me starting The Jinx Part 2 at 11:17pm on a work night!"
And a final Twitter user added: "Just rewatched the last episode of The Jinx, ahead of Part 2, and holy cr*p, I forgot just how stunning that final scene was. "True crime at its peak."
Well, I know what I'll be watching this evening.
The Jinx: Part II is currently available to watch on Sky Documentaries.
