True crime documentaries are kinda having a moment. Sure, they’ve always been a thing — and we had a number of older entries in our bracket to prove that point — but they’ve really come into their own in the era of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. That’s why Above the Law’s quest to determine the very best of the genre has been so fun.
We are down to our Elite Eight. And there are four great matchups across the two sides of the bracket —- and two Cinderellas are still alive. So without further ado, let’s get down to voting.
(1) The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst v. (4) Making A Murderer
