#8. Interrogation (2020)
Ratings (7.4)
Interrogation, based on the true tale of Bruce Lisker, recounts the trial of a young man accused of the murder of his mother. The emphasis of each episode is a particular questioning.
Interrogation is an excellent real crime show because of its many facets. It takes its time to reach a conclusion for the audience. Instead, it offers kids with data and leaves it at that, allowing them the opportunity to play detective on the sofa themselves. Interrogation, on the other hand, may be viewed in any order, making it a simple show to pick up and drop off of at any time. The best part is that it has a climax that is very devastating.

Ratings (8.3)
The infidelity of their respective partners is a source of concern for three distinct ladies who have all lived in the same home over the course of three different decades. Murder occurs in all three stories.
However, despite its lack of depth, Why Women Kill is visually stunning and reminiscent of the best programs set during the swinging '60s. There is a lot of time and work spent into making the wardrobe as attractive as possible. The topics of gender identity and sexual orientation are also extensively discussed.
#1. 1883 (2021 – Present)
Ratings (9.0)
What happened before they bought so much land? That's what Yellowstone's prequel tells us! The plot of the show is set up like a Western.
Like other prequels, 1883 can be enjoyed by fans even if they haven't seen the original series. There aren't many westerns being made these days, but the Taylor Sheridan film makes a compelling argument for why the genre should be revived. It also features a number of high-profile celebrity cameos.
