Sophie: A Murder In West Cork (2021)

39-year-old French TV producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier was murdered outside her holiday home in West Cork, Ireland, on the night of 23 December 1996. Ian Bailey, a journalist who was covering the story, was the prime suspect, but did not go to trial due to insufficient evidence. Years later, he was charged with murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison in France – however Ireland’s High Court ruled he could not be extradited. With interviews from du Plantier’s loved ones and Bailey himself, this three-part series delves into the mystery behind du Plantier’s death and her family’s ongoing quest for justice.

Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces Of Billy Milligan (2021)

In 1977, 23-year-old Billy Milligan was arrested for kidnapping, robbing and raping three women on the Ohio State University campus and was the first to be cleared of charges on the grounds that he had no recollection of the crimes. Psychologists diagnosed Milligan with dissociative identity disorder and his lawyers pleaded insanity, claiming that his alternate personalities committed the crimes. Is he a victim or a fraud? Composed of archival footage of interviews with Milligan’s family, psychiatrists and lawyers, this fascinating series delves into this question with chilling effect.

The Tinder Swindler (2022)

The first documentary to top the streaming giant’s weekly film chart, Felicity Morris’s jaw-dropper centres on three women – Cecilie Fjellhøy, Pernilla Sjoholm and Ayleen Koeleman – who are conned by Shimon Hayut, a grifter posing as a suave diamond mogul who finds his victims on the titular dating app. Heartbroken and deep in debt, they team up to bring him down, exposing him in the press and, in one instance, selling his designer clothes and pocketing the profit. It’s a compelling study of narcissism, gaslighting and, ultimately, resilience.

Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. (2022)

Across four increasingly bizarre episodes, Fyre director Chris Smith tells the true story of Sarma Melngailis, a Wharton graduate who became a rising star in the New York culinary scene of the early 2000s. After turning her raw food restaurant into a celebrity hotspot, she meets the mysterious Anthony Strangis, a Twitter friend of Alec Baldwin’s. They marry and Strangis convinces her to send him large sums of money in return for making her and her beloved dog immortal. When she fails to pay her employees as a result, they go on strike and the pair go on the run, only to be found after Strangis orders Domino’s from a traceable phone. Is Melngailis even partly to blame or is this a classic case of coercive control? We’re left to make up our own minds.

Girl in the Picture (2022)

Skye Borgman, who directed the horrific Abducted in Plain Sight, returns with this endlessly twisty tale of decades-long abuse, kidnapping and deception which begins with a seemingly ordinary hit-and-run in ’90s Oklahoma. The victim is 20-year-old Tonya Hughes, who has injuries that are inconsistent with a car accident, as well as an overbearing, much older husband who falls under suspicion after her death. The kicker? The fact that when her mother is contacted, she says that her daughter passed away as a toddler. As we come to learn about her true identity and that of her monstrous father, prepare to be blown away.
