These are the 15 best murder and psycho series on Netflix

We admire the horror genre and the police genre, currently much more since the recommended true-crime series are sweeping the main streaming platforms, such as Netflix. The number of real cases that are being investigated again, here we will talk about some totally recommended, and the curiosity that these terrifying events provoke in our minds is some of the reasons why we adore the series of murders and psychopaths.

Their victims number in the dozens, and where the police are usually one step behind these individuals. Learn why they fascinate us, what their motivations are, and let yourself be carried away by the huge amount of content that we have available on Netflix.

I am a killer

Under this strict title, which does justice to what we will see when we begin to watch the first chapter, we will have the opportunity to discover a series that does not beat around the bush. Obviously, it will not show you explicit scenes, and I doubt very much that you would want to see them, and that will tell us, in the first person, what is the story behind different murderers and the motivations that led them to end their lives of dozens of people.

• Year: 2018
• Seasons: 2
• Episodes available: 20
• Approximate duration: 45 minutes

To cats or touch them

Any detail that I want to reveal to you to explain slightly what this television series is about would be an unnecessary gutting and elimination of the surprise factor, so I will try to be almost neutral. Let’s say that the title of this work, which is tremendously strange, is the excuse that has been taken since the production of the series to tell us about an investigation that arose from an internet forum, blessed invention, and that started from a series of chilling videos, uncovering various murders and an unconventional murderer.

• Year: 2019
• Seasons: 1
• Episodes available: 3
• Approximate duration: 60 minutes

Night Stalker

The story of Richard Ramirez, which surely does not sound familiar to you, is one of the best known in the dark history of crimes committed in North American territory. On this occasion, we will travel to hell itself, located in the city of Los Angeles, where the character and serial killer in question saw fit to terrorize its population in the 1980s. We will observe how the police action was developed, how the investigation was clear about who the so-called Night Stalker was, and how a citizen was in charge of lighting the fuse of his arrest.

• Seasons: 1
• Episodes available: 4
• Approximate duration: 50 minutes

Mindhunter

This fiction series will show us the beginnings of one of the key procedures for the persecution of future serial killers, what came to be known as psychological profiles. You cannot make a list of series that include murderers and psychopaths without including one of the masterpieces of the serial world of recent decades, by the great David Fincher. During its two seasons, it seems that we will not be lucky to have more at the moment; the series will show us how an FBI group will conduct a series of interviews with famous murderers, such as Charles Manson, Ed Kemper, or Richard Speck.

• Year: 2017
• Seasons: 2
• Episodes available: 19
• Approximate duration: 45 minutes

Who Killed Sara?

That there is life outside the commercial circuit of the United States is unquestionable and that it has been able to be endorsed in this era of the internet and streaming platforms, such as Netflix. This series of Mexican production invites us to question the past, present, and future of various characters, all from the murder of Sara, Álex’s sister, who was found guilty of his murder, but who will seek, by all means, that is necessary, to bring to light the truth about Sara’s death.

The Alcàsser case

New clues and a new investigation will take up one of the most notorious cases at the end of the last century in Spain. The discovery of the corpses of three young people, Míriam, Toñi, and Desirée, will unleash a media storm in our country, with as many conspiracy theories as one can imagine, and will bring out the darker side of the human being, represented in the main suspects, Antonio Angles, and Miguel Ricart. The former is on the run from justice, while the latter has served 21 years in prison and is among us again.

Making a murderer

Another of Netflix’s great jewels, which has been erased from our memory as the years passed and productions buried it in oblivion, shows us a documentary series that narrates the imprisonment of Steven Avery, accused of sexual assault and attempted murder, which after being released from prison is arrested again for another alleged murder. This series was shot over the course of 10 years between New York and Wisconsin and showed us the cruelty of the American judicial system.

• Year: 2015
• Seasons: 2
• Episodes available: 20
• Approximate duration: 60 minutes

Confessed murderer

The story of Henry Lee Lucas could be used for more than one documentary, but, on this occasion, Netflix wanted to tell the ins and outs of a narrative that involves the confession of hundreds of murders by Lucas himself, whose case turned upside down to a whole nation like the United States. It seems that the confession is the end of the murderer. Still, investigators outside the law question his testimony and threaten to uncover some secrets about Henry’s arrest and the work of the police.

• Year: 2019
• Seasons: 1
• Episodes available: 5

Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime

Another series on the side of documentaries, something that Netflix embroiders like no other streaming platform, offers us the terrible story of Elize Matsunaga, a Brazilian woman who shot and dismembered her husband, causing a terrible commotion in the South American country. Despite having several testimonies, what will really make you tremble with fear is to know, first hand, how the murderer confesses the mental process she was going through and how she decided to end the life of her husband.

A serial killer with Piers Morgan

If you continue to enjoy the crime genre that addresses, above all, the deepest and darkest aspects of the human psyche, I think that the series of interviews, three in particular by Piers Morgan, which are available on Netflix, will be to your liking. This investigative reporter dedicates each chapter to a specific serial killer, reviewing the serious crimes that ended up hitting his bones in prison and looking for the reasons for his conduct, if this type of behavior is ever explained, completely removed. of the normality of the human being.

• Year: 2018
• Seasons: 1
• Episodes available: 3
• Approximate duration: 45 minutes

The Yorkshire Ripper

We travel to the United Kingdom to meet one of its most famous and fearsome murderers of modern times, the one that gives its name precisely to this true-crime miniseries on Netflix. We will arrive in the 70s, a turbulent time in the area, where The police must face a prostitute killer, very difficult to locate, but who crosses all the red lines when he murders a young adolescent. Will they be able to find the culprit and close the case once and for all?

Conversations with Killers: The Ted Bundy Tapes

Ted Bundy has been one of the most famous and inhumane serial killers in our recent history, coming to confess to the FBI up to 30 murders of women, being executed in the electric chair in 1989. This documentary series from Netflix brings us closer to the figure of this sanguinary character with interviews today, some images of files, and audio recordings that were made while this murderer was imprisoned on death row. Both your search and your capture have been faithfully portrayed in this dark documentary.

Slasher

This television series, which, as in the case of the next production that we will present you, adds one more title to the genre that appears in its title, offers us a tour of some serial killers who seek to stalk their victims, like any good movie of Series B prides itself on doing it. On this occasion, the series, with a season available on Netflix, will remind us of how much evil a human being can accumulate throughout its chapters, with a final episode that seeks to show a terrible bloodbath.

scream

Taking as a reference the saga of horror films that marked an era and a trend at the end of the 20th century, Scream wants to make us scream again in front of a mysterious murderer and that we enjoy watching a series of teenagers, with roles almost traced to those of the original tapes, although adapted to the new times, suffer the wrath of an unfortunate, perhaps unfortunate, madman, who wants to sow panic in the institute and the city. Lakewood will be, on this occasion, the chosen setting to place us in the macabre and interesting plot.

The hunt

One of the great modern series that plays with the concept of the policeman obsessed with catching a relentless and elusive murderer, with the participation of Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan, offers us an exercise in cinematographic excellence because it is at the height of the best thrillers of recent times, and of police play, when a police officer, Stella Gibson, arrives in London to investigate a murder in Belfast, which could be the work of a new serial killer. Meanwhile, another murder occurs, and things are starting to get complicated, both in the workplace and personally.
