What Kind of True Crime Watcher Are You?
Do you crave justice or live for the drama? Let’s find out what kind of true crime consumer you really are.
What’s the first thing you notice in a documentary?
*
The intro vibe—cinematography, soundtrack, narrator’s voice. Is it dramatic enough to grab me?
The timeline—Does it make sense? Is the information laid out clearly, or am I already building my own spreadsheet?
The documentary ends with “The truth may never be known.” How do you react?
*
Sighs and mutters “Lazy ending.” I want resolution, evidence, a clear case—not philosophical ambiguity.
Eyes wide—Uncertainty makes it juicier. I’m already on Reddit reading conspiracy threads.
What’s your true crime binge ritual?
*
Coffee, laptop, and 17 tabs open. I’ll pause to fact-check a witness or map out the neighborhood.
Blankets, snacks, and inner monologue commentary: “Oh, he did it. Look at that facial twitch.”
What would make you rage-quit a doc?
*
Boring visuals or too many talking heads. If I wanted to read a court report, I would.
Missing key details—Where’s the trial? Where’s the autopsy report? Why are we watching pigeons?
What’s your favorite part of a true crime documentary?
*
The slow unraveling of evidence, expert analysis, and seeing justice (hopefully) land.
The shocking twists, guilty glances, and that one jaw-dropper moment I rewatch twice.
How do you react to a re-enactment scene?
*
I live for them. Give me fog, flashbacks, and an actor who looks nothing like the real person.
Groans. This could’ve been two minutes of actual evidence instead of slow-mo shots of a guy gripping a steering wheel.
What’s your relationship with Reddit or forums after watching a doc?
*
I’m in deep. New tabs, old threads, and conspiracy theories that haven't seen daylight since 2012.
I read the original court documents and FOIA requests—because someone has to stay grounded.
A new doc drops with celebrity narration and stylish visuals. Your response?
*
Inject it directly into my eyes. If it’s flashy, I’m in.
Style’s fine, but if there’s no substance, I’ll be filing a complaint in my imaginary DA’s office.
Which phrase best captures your true crime energy?
*
“Guilty looks good on camera.”
“Follow the timeline or lose the case.”
