Netflix isn’t going to cease making true crime docuseries. Actually, I wanted they might. They’re frequently redundant at finest and deeply exploitative at worst. Their newest chart-topper, Cprevious Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, falls into each classes. On one hand, there’s nothing left to glean from the tragic killing of JonBenét Ramsey. Alternatively, viewers are once more deep within the weeds, taking part in detective with a real-life homicide case. It doesn’t fully sit proper with me, however from a purely company perspective, the method works. Chilly Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey has been constantly within the High 10 on Netflix since its premiere final month.

Nevertheless, Chilly Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey needs to dissuade audiences of that notion, even placing John Ramsey entrance and heart to make everybody really feel dangerous about their allegations.
Which, in truth, presents its personal set of issues. Nobody must be litigating this case past legislation enforcement, and whereas the sequence pleads with viewers to cease, it concurrently invitations them in, virtually egging them on. So, whereas its fact-finding is considerably refreshing in an period of exploitative true crime, the shortage of any new insights begs the query—why did we want one other JonBenét Ramsey present? Trying strictly on the numbers, viewers have at the very least been compelled by the sequence, taking to social media to posit concepts of their very own. Take a look at some selection social media reactions under, together with Ashley Ray’s fairly thorough…
