Stateside viewers don’t need a streaming subscription to watch these 40 crime-related docuseries from across the pond and north of the border.
From cops to criminals, forensics to psychics, child snatchers to kid killers, there’s something for practically every fan of crime-related documentary series on this list of 40 programs. Most are from the UK, save for one from Ireland and three from Canada. Some series are relatively recent, and others go back a number of years.
A few of the shows are narrated by well-known British and Canadian actors and celebrities, including Zawe Ashton (Case Histories), Sean Bean (Time), Wendy Crewson (Frankie Drake Mysteries), Shaun Dooley (Gentleman Jack), brothers Martin and Gary Kemp (of the band Spandau Ballet), Hugo Speer (London Kills), and Zoë Wanamaker (Agatha Christie’s Poirot). And one true-crime docuseries features “the Real Manhunter” Colin Sutton, the former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector who led the teams that caught a couple of notorious serial killers.
All of the titles listed below are available on Tubi, Fox Entertainment’s free advertising-supported streaming service. (Read about Tubi’s recent content deal with BBC Studios in this article.) The ones that are also available on IMDb TV, Amazon’s free advertising-supported streaming service, are noted as such.
