Crime Narratives in non-fiction documentaries: The success of true crime in VOD platforms
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper explores the evolution experimented by non-fiction true crime documentaries in the VOD platforms. Through a bibliographical review and examples taken from the most popular documentaries, we focus on the most relevant changes that have transformed this genre in the context of online streaming platforms. We will also discuss whether these shifts can be considered as a strategy to distance the genre from the sensationalist crime realities of the 80s and 90s on traditional television.
