Those over-dramatic Netflix<\/a> true-crime shows really are deliciously bingeable. Here’s how to make a documentary in that very style about pretty much anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we counted up all the hours we’d spent watching Netflix shows filled with emotionally fraught recollections and dodgy re-enactments, we’d probably make ourselves sick. But, they’re just so flipping addictive. Shows like Unsolved Mysteries<\/em> and Don’t F**k With Cats <\/em>have seemingly become even more popular since the rise of various lockdowns and restrictions. Maybe it’s because it feels like curtain twitching on steroids. Or perhaps it’s our perverse desire to terrify ourselves that reels us back in every single time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having watched an entire season of one of these shows, have you ever thought: “I reckon I could do that”? … And I don’t mean, have you ever thought you could carry out some heinous crime and get away with it for 37 years. I mean, have you ever fancied having a crack at creating your own Netflix-style documentary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, it’s much easier than you first may think. Important note – if you’re looking for how to make a documentary akin to Blue Planet or Louis Theroux, this probably isn’t for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
