If you type “true crime” into the Netflix search field, you’ll be presented with an astonishing collection of shows, many of them indistinguishable from one another. How do you even begin to sort them apart? Are they all the same? And are any of them actually good?

So Vulture has done the job of sorting the good, the bad and the ugly:

Hidden among the genre’s vast selection of bad reenactments, gleeful-sounding narrators, and disgusting, exploitative dreck, you’ll find quite a few worthwhile productions. Here's what's available:

The synopsis sounded better than the book actually was, it was a little disappointing. Stories about the main character, Weylyn, are told by the people around him. It's definitely a neat idea, but, I'm not sure it worked entirely. I may need to read it again. I did enjoy it overall, and for being a debut novel, it wasn't bad at all.

Chapter 2 wasn't necessarily better than the first John Wick, but I didn't have to see his poor dead puppy. The action was good, and everything was well-choreographed. I love knowing that Keanu did the stunts, and he's just general a bad ass as John Wick. I'm not sure where Chapter Three will go, but I'm definitely, anxiously awaiting it.

Any of us without the knowhow might be totally lost if it weren’t for the talented writer-scientists who take the time to pen popular science books about their respective fields.

These are the best in popular science from the past year – books that will enlighten, entertain, terrify and make you feel bad about how little you remember from school.

Seemed a little childish for an adult audience, but maybe that is what they were going for. I liked the acting and story. It just seemed a little too simple and a little too long. When the bad guy is defeated with 25 minutes left, you are doing something wrong.

My first companion chronicle from Big Finish is a bit of a mixed bad. Loved the basic story, was less thrilled with how they went about telling that story. I feel it took away from the Liz Shaw character, the guys disagreed with me. Our full review is available in episode 303 over at http://travelingthevortex.com/?p=7644 Warning, spoilers ahead...

To be honest, I didn’t want to rate this book because I loved it for how it provoked me to think, but little things like the pacing, which was understandably slow, made me give it a 4.25 star rating.

Love movies, hate people who talk through them!
Sci-fi, horror (especially bad horror), animation, action/comedy, not a lover of rom coms.
Love reading horror/sci-fi. In fact, I don't read any other genre. Like tatts and ale. Oh, and jelly beans.

Not a bad track on the album (2 more)

Good mix of fast and slower songs

Amazing sounds

Short and sweet

It's not a long album but I don't think there is a track on it I would rate lower than a 6. Amazing guitar and drums playing. Good mix of slow, fast and faster songs. Topped off with the iconic Master of puppets track.
