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:

More odd than funny crime caper
Well after hearing about this film I hoped for something along the lines of Snatch mixed with Ocean's 11 about a jewel heist from the Natural history museum. It's no where near either of those films and only has one scene at the museum. Funny in some places but just odd more of the time.
  
Identical twins Nan and Bert had no plans of getting involved in another murder, but when an identical twin stands accused of a crime, they have to jump in. Another great mystery full of twins with two fun main characters.

Fantastic story line and character progression. (0 more)
This book was an endless road of twists and turns. The main character Venus commits a terrible crime at the very beginning and by following her through life you don’t learn exactly what it was or why she did it until she is ready to come to terms with it herself. Fantastic story line and character progression.
