But one of Netflix's newest releases could easily be your next true crime fix.
The synopsis for the new six-part series, titled The Asunta Case, follows the true story surrounding the disappearance of 12-year-old Asunta Basterra.
Asunta Basterra went missing in 2013, with the young girl's body being found in the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela just a few hours after her parents reported her disappearance.
Chinese-born Asunta was adopted by her parents, Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra, when she was just nine months old, and the attention soon turned on them following the child's untimely and tragic passing.
You can watch the trailer here:
While is captured nationwide attention in Spain at the time, there's a chance you might not have heard about it yourself, so I won't give anymore away about the story in case you wish to watch The Asunta Case for yourself...
Just days after the series dropped on Netflix and some people have said that they're already 'hooked'.
Another person shared their thoughts on it on Netflix Bangers and told fellow social media users that the show 'keeps you on your toes'.
They wrote: "Y’all I ran out of things to watch and thought I’d give this a try…. When I tell you it’s good… I mean it is good. Keeps you on your toes! Based on true events."
Replying to the post, someone said: "I'm in episode 4 and i am liking it."
"Just watched this! Good one," echoed a second Netflix fan.
"I binged it in one day. It was really good," a different person went on to say.
"Watching this now. Great watching." a fourth said.
I should be noted that the series is Spanish-language, therefore if you wish to watch it in English you'll have to go off subtitles or have it dubbed.
While not it's not ideal, previous shows like Squid Game and Money Heist were also non-English series and still went down a storm with viewers.
