Netflix viewers have praised the 'real hero' of its new true crime series which left people's 'blood boiling'.

Viewers have been left stunned by the streaming giant's latest true crime offering following the story of the 'real-life Gone Girl', with the three-part series shooting to the top of the charts.

The doc tells the story of Denise Huskins, who was kidnapped in the middle of the night in 2015.

She had been hanging out at her boyfriend Aaron Quinn's house in Vallejo, California, when their lives suddenly changed irrevocably.

Intruders broke into the home, tied them up, and drugged and also blindfolded them.

Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins were accused of staging the ordeal.

Denise was kidnapped and held for ransom, but when Aaron reported the crime, police ended up suspecting him instead.

The police went as far as branding the couple time-wasters, and said the whole thing sounding like a hoax and similar to that of the film and book, Gone Girl.

Even when Denise was released two days later after being drugged and raped by her abductor - police still claimed the story didn't make sense.

Viewers were obviously shocked by the story being told in the documentary, though they did find time to praise a person who is being called the 'real hero' of the story.

Police woman Misty Carausu is revealed to be the only person to believe the couple, subsequently solving the crime while working on a similar case.

Many viewers have since flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to praise the officer.

"All the authoritative men in the case of #denisehuskins failed her, except the one woman who was not even involved in her case, officer Misty," one user said.

"Thank god for Dublin PD Sgt. Misty Carausu for actually doing her work and being a hero while her male counterparts were criminally negligent," a second added.

"American Nightmare on Netflix is so wild and twisted. Might I suggest you don't f*ck with Detective Misty Carausu," a third said.

While a fourth remarked: "God bless Misty Carausu. She's proof that we need more women in male dominated spaces. #AmericanNightmare."

American Nightmare is streaming on Netflix now.
