34 gripping true crime docuseries on Netflix

The Devil Next Door

Everyone suspects they know absolutely everything there is to know about their boring neighbors when in reality, some of them could very well be hiding a devastating secret. The Netflix miniseries The Devil Next Door takes a look at how one Cleveland grandfather was accused of being a Nazi war criminal.

John Demjanjuk was thought to be just another average retired autoworker living out the rest of his days in the fair city of Cleveland, Ohio. But it seems he bears a resemblance to one Ivan the Terrible, a prison guard at a Nazi concentration camp that was notoriously known for being extremely cruel to the prisoners of the horrible place.

Demjanjuk was accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes for the things he did during his time of employment as a guard during World War II. The extraordinary true story is depicted brilliantly in the five well-crafted entries, resulting in the Netflix series very deservedly obtaining impressive scores on Rotten Tomatoes.

As far as crime documentaries go, The Devil Next Door proves early on to be a worthwhile endeavor, and many subscribers interested in finding an enthralling docuseries on the streamer to enjoy should make it the subject of their next binge session.
