And if you're not careful, you too could be caught in a Web of Lies.Very good show! All episodes are based on online interacts. It's scary knowing you never truly know who you're talking to on the internet. This show is highly recommendable, to people of ALL ages, gender, race, etc. EVERYONE is at risk of online danger and everyone needs to educate themselves on the subject. 10/10

In this bone-chilling series they will show real life stories of obsession told by the victims.Very scary show that gets a little more graphic than most other true crime shows. Very good reenactments that make you feel like you're there witnessing the acts go down. Very entertaining. Highly recommend. 10/10
- StarsLynnanne ZagerCandice DeLongJanis AmatuzioTrue stories of female killers.One of the first true crime shows I started watching. I love the fact that this show focuses only on women. Women have just as much potential to be violent and dangerous than men. Highly recommend this series! 10/10

- StarsGreg DiefenbachJames DavenjayDorian LoughTells the tales of mysterious murders that rocked small-town America.One of the first true crime TV shows that I obsessively binge watched.

- StarsD.C. GoodeJason ShablikClark SarulloNarrated reenactments of key events with commentary from law enforcement officers, criminal justice professionals, and friends and family of victims.One of my favorite true crime TV shows. Very scary reenactments and very sad stories. 10/10
- StarsChristopher Crutchfield WalkerKiff VandenHeuvelGeno McDermottThe heartbreaking, mystifying and unbelievable stories of loved ones who have disappeared and the families that never give up hope.Great true crime show about people who suddenly disappear. You only find out maybe 1 out of 20 shows what actually happened to the person. It's not always (known) murder, some people just get up and leave their life behind for whatever unknown reasons. Even though this show isn't necessarily about murder, it's still a amazing show that deserves to be on this list. 10/10

- StarsBen Patrick JohnsonKaren DadeyAudrey GrazianoReenactment of terrifying tales of people who were kidnapped, yet were lucky enough to survive. Each episode centers on one person's ordeal. Starting from before the abduction right through to the hours, days, or months of captivity and finally to the escape and recovery as told by the victim in their own haunting recollection.Another scary true crime show. This one actually gave me chills down my spine in quite a few episodes. Very scary and sad stories. 10/10
