I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about Netflix and murder documentaries that just go hand-in-hand perfectly.
Netflix has recently been ticking all of the right boxes when it comes to bringing us those grittily shocking docs that are perfect for late night binging sessions. Who wants to go out and socialize when you can sit in with a take-out and a good old fashioned murder conspiracy show? I think I know the answer to that one…
Well, folks, today is our lucky day! Netflix released what is perhaps their most shocking murder story yet and it’s ready and available for your viewing pleasure right now! Keep scrolling to find out more about the new documentary and its shocking storyline.
In the last few years, Netflix has pretty much taken over the entertainment world. With hundreds of TV shows and movies (all ad-free, I must mention) available to watch instantly for such a small price, it’s hard to come across someone who doesn’t have access to the world-popular streaming app.
On the 31st of May this year, Netflix released its most recent gritty documentary and it certainly isn’t one for the faint-hearted.
Killer Ratings is now available for a lengthy documentary binge.
The seven-part documentary series focuses on Brazilian TV presenter, Wallace Souza, who later ditched the TV cameras to pursue a career in politics.
The series explores the far-reaching suspicions about Souza, who presented a show called Canal Livre, which explored crime in and around Brazil.
The reports and accusations made are unbelievable…
All about Canal Livre…
Wallace Souza was the host of the show from 1989 through till 2008, so the presenter truly made a name for himself through Canal Livre over the years.
The show highlighted and investigated crimes in Manaus, Brazil.
From hosting the show, Wallace quickly rose to fame in Brazil and he was even labeled “a hero” for documenting the crimes in the city.
Known as a “local hero,” Wallace would supposedly solve these crimes and make sure that justice was served for the victims of said crimes.
It didn’t take long for viewers to become a little suspicious of the show’s practices.
Viewers began to notice that Souza’s camera crew would always “conveniently” be at the crime scene, even before the police arrived.
Graphic images of the murder scenes were displayed on air, which would then allow Souza to “solve them” live on TV.
When public suspicion grew, the police got wind of the rumors.
I won’t disclose any further details from the series, but I will say that running from the police is never a good idea…
Don’t say we didn’t warn you, guys…
If you’re as desperate as I am to get to the bottom of this murder mystery, you’ll be glad to know that Netflix has released all of the episodes and they’re ready to watch right now!
Is it possible to fall in love with an online streaming service?
I, for one, am dying to know what happened to Wallace Souza and if he was guilty of the accusations made against him.
