There are some people who are obsessed with true crime TV (my boyfriend is one of them). I’ve never seen someone get so excited to watch a series based on mass murder, serial killers, investigations, and even sometimes sexual assault.
But, he’s not the only one. Many of my friends are addicted to true crime TV shows and documentary series. The reason? Apparently, people are infatuated with getting inside the “minds” of the killers and perps. They want to know why they do the things they do, how the criminal justice system works, and, all the suspense.

Me today: the national news is kind of upsetting and stressing me out. I better watch some true crime shows about serial killers to soothe my soul. Ahhh, that’s better.

When I start watching Forensic Files and I realize I’ve already seen the episode, I get mad. I get so mad I could poison someone in small amounts every day for 6 months.

The weirdest shows on investigation discovery are the ones that play jolly music in brutal murder reenactments (all of them)

I want to have kids but I don’t want them to get murdered, so am I going to have to make them as obsessed with true crime as I am so that they know what to look out for? Or will that turn them into murderers?
