We’re All Criminal Master Minds Now
It’s just a fact that if you watch enough shows about something, you’ll start to think that you know a lot on the subject. It happens when you’re watching the Olympics and become an armchair expert on speedskating. It happens when you’re watching a baking show and find yourself developing a lot of opinions about fondant. And it especially happens when you are watching true crime shows.
After all, true crime shows teach us about the mistakes that criminals make that get them caught. Everyone I know who’s into true crime jokes that they could now commit the perfect murder because they have amassed a long list of what not to do from their TV viewing. I hope Netflix has not accidentally created a whole bunch of brilliant criminals. Fortunately, most people who watch true crime prefer sitting on their couch to committing the perfect murder.
