True crime documentaries are becoming popular nowadays, with the prime example of Tiger King, which is now available on Netflix that follows the life of zookeeper, Joe Exotic, and the bizarre underworld of big cat breeding.
Netflix's Tiger King and its Massive Success
According to The Verge, Netflix has revealed that the mini true crime docuseries is one of the biggest shows of the streaming service, tying with Stranger Things' third season as one of the most viewed shows.
Netflix's letter to its shareholders confirmed that the Tiger King had been watched by over 64 million households, making it a huge success, especially since it just arrived fairly recently.
With that, it's not a surprise to know that thousands or even millions of people love watching true crime documentaries, and that's what a new streaming service is holding onto as they wish to find the perfect true crime fan.
Win $1000 by Watching True Crime Docus

The catch? They are willing to pay that lucky someone $1000 and a few extra rewards if they finish the task.
Although the streaming company wants the lucky true crime buff to finish several documentaries in just 24 hours, they are actually allotting 48 hours for the task to ensure the winner gets to sleep, eat, and take a breather in between docus.
Nevertheless, if it can be done within the original time permitted, the better.
Besides watching their list of documentaries, the winner is also expected to share their experience on their social media.

- Passionate for all things true crime
- Willing to stream documentaries non-stop for 24 hours
- Willing to enthusiastically share their All-Night Crime Watch experience on their social media platforms
