Making a Murderer and The Jinx both changed the conversation around a real, ongoing case instead of simply recapping it, and Tiger King became a phenomenon almost by accident. McMillions covers the rigged McDonald’s Monopoly game and the FBI investigation that cracked it, The Vow looks inside NXIVM, the self-help group that proved a manipulative sex cult, Conversations with a Killer plays Ted Bundy’s death-row tapes, and Evil Genius digs into a bomb-collar bank robbery stranger than it first appeared. Wild Wild Country, The Staircase, The Keepers and I’ll Be Gone in the Dark round out the list.
