We careen into the sweet 16 of our ode to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, otherwise known as the Best True Crime Documentary bracket. Some great movies have made it into this round, and it’s again time to decide your favorites.
Here are the matchups from the first side of the bracket:
(1) The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst v. (9) Amanda Knox
