True crime documentaries and dramatizations. Are they still a thing in 2025? Let's be real, the genre's been having a moment for a while now, right? But is the craze starting to fade? Or are we even more obsessed than ever? I've been binge-watching them since, like, forever, so I figured I'd weigh in.

First off, the sheer variety is mind-blowing. You've got your classic whodunits, your unsolved mysteries that keep you up at night, and then there are the ones that are so bizarre they're almost comical. Remember that one about the guy who tried to hide his crime using a cheese grater? (No? Just me? Okay.)

What keeps me hooked? I think it's the combination of suspense, the puzzle-solving aspect, and the morbid fascination with the darker side of human nature. Plus, let's face it, some of these stories are way more interesting than my own life. I know, I know, it's a little dark. But hey, we all need a little escapism sometimes, right?

But here's the thing: Are we getting too much true crime? Is it becoming oversaturated? I've seen so many documentaries on similar cases that it's starting to feel a little repetitive. You know what I mean? It's like, I've seen enough stories about estranged spouses and missing hikers to last me a lifetime. But there's always another one popping up.

What's next? I honestly can't say for sure. Will the true crime craze continue its reign? Or will another genre take its place? Only time will tell. But one thing's for certain: as long as there are unsolved mysteries and compelling stories out there, the genre will likely find a way to adapt and thrive.

Have you tried this? Would love to hear your take!
