Culture news “one of the craziest documentaries I’ve ever seen” This story-inspired Netflix Original leaves subscribers speechless
Netflix and news items, a love story that fascinates subscribers. In any case, this is what the numerous opinions concerning this new horrifying documentary series lead us to think.
The American Nightmare
For several years now, Netflix has launched an attack on documentaries and fictions relating to current events. With the series Dahmer in the lead and since the advent of documentaries Making a Murderer, the streaming platform has largely capitalized on the horrifying stories of serial killers and crimes of all kinds. And the latest sensational entry in the Netflix catalog deals precisely with this type of subject: it is the documentary series The kidnapped truth (American Nightmare in original version), a sordid story which visibly marked the first spectators.
Netflix hits hard again
Produced by the same team behind The Tinder scammer, The kidnapped truth takes up the story of an investigation that took place in 2015, during which a couple who were victims of a break-in and kidnapping were ultimately accused of having planned everything. A chilling story, which demonstrates the limits of the American judicial system and which visibly struck the public very hard. The first opinions are in any case equivocal: “American Nightmare shook me so much“, “This is one of the craziest news documentaries I’ve ever seen.“,”it’s horrifying“, we can read on social networks.
That being said, The kidnapped truth clearly knew how to seduce the public, as well as the critics. On RottenTomatoes, the series obtains a press score of 92% and 95% for spectators. In France, the public has so far given it a rating of 3.3/5 on AlloCiné. Very good results, which once again confirm Netflix’s talent for this type of program.
