Best crime documentaries on Curiosity Stream: From cybercrime to intriguing murders

There’s just something dangerously delicious about true-crime documentaries. Throwing us into the scene of the crime and allowing us to turn over the facts and circumstances that led to sinister events, these documentaries make for a tense, gripping and overall satisfying watch. Here’s a list of true-crime documentaries that you can stream on Curiosity Stream that deliver the goods and some more:

Murder Maps

Murder Maps is a series that delves into some of the most notorious and intriguing crimes that have been committed in cold blood. Spread across three seasons, this show delves into the nefarious motives behind some of the most shocking murders that ever took place in the United Kingdom. Fans of detective series are in for a treat as this show also elaborately mulls over the theories and forensic evidence at hand that assisted the police in cracking these curious crimes.

Art of the Heist

Money Heist may have made heist stories popular in recent years, but this subgenre of action thrillers has been around for decades. The popularity of films such as The Italian Job and Reservoir Dogs only testifies to this claim. Art Of The Heist is a docu-series based on the investigations that followed some of the most high-profile art thefts of the 20th and 21st centuries. Assembling all the events that led up to these robberies, the series also throws light on how they were pulled off with a flourish, circumventing various obstacles that could’ve prevented the crime. Unlike Money Heist, these thefts are actually based on real events and that’s what makes this one even more exciting.

The Hockey Stick Killer

Going by the title, it’s evident that this is a documentary about someone who eliminated his victim with a hockey stick. And this one pertains to the gruesome murder committed by Australian hockey player Graeme Eadie in a fit of road rage. As it turns out, Eadie was driving across a mountain pass along with his two young sons when he was cut off by a speeding motorist. Eadie was so enraged that he tracked him down and bludgeoned him to death with his hockey stick. This documentary covers this grisly murder and the events that followed that altered the athlete’s life forever.

Dark Web: Fighting Cybercrime

Crimes committed in the virtual world have forever threatened to compromise our personal data. From accessing our credit card credentials to hacking our emails to steal pertinent information that could lead to grave crimes such as identity theft, it’s safe to say, no one is entirely safe in the online world. Dark Web: Fighting Cybercrime is a documentary that sensitizes us to the fact that we’re all susceptible to such online attacks and taking cover would require AI to play a stronger role in our lives. The film also delves into the various kinds of cyber crimes that can breach our data to potentially execute possible frauds and the tools that can help us stay aware, alert, and guarded.

The Interpol Case

Dubbed as one of the most secret organizations in the world, the Interpol is an outfit known for assisting in crimes beyond borders. Typically, they’ve been instrumental in tracking down fugitives who’ve taken refuge in countries where they feel they are less likely to be found or those which don’t have extradition terms with the country where they’ve committed the crimes. Through a series of interviews with top Interpol investigators, The Interpol Case details the crucial role of the international organization in fighting crime and in nabbing convicts and con men on the run.
