The #1 Netflix Documentary Concerns A Terrifying And Tragic American True Crime
The top-charting documentary on Netflix is a series concerning the chilling account of the Boston Marathon bombing. American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing offers insight into both the people who lived through the tragedy and the law enforcement personnel who tracked the killers down.
Per the streamer, “Offering historical context, expert insight, and emotional details from those who knew the bombers personally, American Manhunt tells the full story of how the people of Boston came together in their darkest hour to reclaim their city – and the men and women whose lives will never be the same.”
Like many of the streamer’s best docuseries, this one aims to redefine the tragedy, offering new insight into an event many know.
Netflix has been on a true crime kick lately. Their docuseries especially continue to exceed expectations, including the recently released MH370: The Plane That Disappeared. American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing looks to be no different, trading in both genuine pathos and ethos as it contends to be the definitive look at the tragedy and the lives affected.
