Netflix’s 6-Part True Crime Miniseries Is Already One of the Biggest Hits on Streaming

Netflix has its proverbial golden goose with the true crime genre, with almost half of U.S. Netflix accounts tuning into true-crime titles as recently as 2024. The genre has become a keystone for the streamer ever since Making a Murderer premiered back in December 2015, and Netflix has found success yet again, with the newest entry in its formidable stable of content: The Bombing of Pan Am 103. The series is a look at the investigation behind the infamous Lockerbie bombing of 1988, which took the lives of all 259 passengers and 11 residents of the small Scottish town, in a way that is rarely seen.
