Did you enjoy (definitely the wrong word) Netflix's Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes?
Were you left wanting more when the credits rolled on FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened?
Well the latest tweet from the UK and Irish Netflix Twitter account is for you:
if you liked Fyre and The Ted Bundy Tapes may we suggest Abducted in Plain Sight, a doc you can also file under "what in the actual fuck"
— Netflix UK & Ireland (@NetflixUK) February 6, 2019
Abducted in Plain Sight
Take it from us, Abducted in Plain Sight, is one of the most insane documentaries you'll ever watch.
The feature length show tells the story of Jan Broberg. On October 17th in 1974 Jan, then aged 12, was kidnapped by her neighbour and family friend 'B'.
The stranger-than-fiction story recalls how the Broberg family fell under the spell of their sociopathic neighbour.
The most interesting feature is that Jan's family tell the stories themselves through a series of direct-to-camera interviews.
Be warned that this documentary is not easy viewing and may be triggering for some people.
True crime documentary recommendations
However, Abducted in Plain Sight was not the only recommendation Netflix gave out this afternoon.
In a second tweet they listed seven more shows to fill the true crime hole in our lives.
and if you've watched all three, these true crime docs should keep you busy for a while:
