Netflix's new true crime offering Into the Deep is already receiving rave reviews from fans and now it's been given a rare Rotten Tomatoes score.

The documentary, which was released on the streaming platform on 30 September, is a shocking true crime case full of footage that actually saw its subject, Peter Madsen, now 51, convicted for murder.

The documentary was initially meant to be about Madsen's quest to build a rocket that would have seen him become the world's first amateur astronaut.

However, it ended up becoming footage that was essential to his murder conviction after a journalist mysteriously disappeared after interviewing him on one of his submarines in 2017.

The documentary's synopsis reads: "When journalist Kim Wall disappears after boarding inventor Peter Madsen's submarine, his changing story about her fate masks a terrifying truth."

While the film has had rave reviews from fans on social media, with some arguing that it's criminally under-watched compared to the also recently-released Dahmer series, it looks like it's about to receive a surge in popularity.

This is because the documentary has received an extremely rare perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.

Yes, Into the Deep currently has a critical score of 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and if that isn't a surefire sign that it should be at the top of your to-watch pile, the audience reviews certainly should be.

Praising the film on Twitter, one fan wrote: "Into the Deep on @netflix is maybe the best true crime doc of the year. The documentary captures the downward spiral of a murderous psychopath in real time. No dramatised footage needed. Absolutely shocking."

"Just watched Emma Sullivan Into the Deep on Netflix," remarked a second. "I followed the case as it happened, but it was so much worse! Brilliantly done!"

"Into the Deep on Netflix is extraordinary," praised a third. "A documentary that started filming 11 months before its subject committed murder. Sensitively handled and not leering over the facts of the crime, this is as much about a group discovering a friend and leader is a psychopath. Watch now."

Perhaps one of the most shocking aspects of the documentary is that Masden committed murder while filming it, and Into the Deep contains footage of him joking about potentially being a psychopath, as well as other disturbing revelations.

Madsen was ultimately found guilty of murder in April 2018 and sentenced to life, which in Denmark, where he was convicted, means a minimum of 17 years behind bars.
