While Netflix’s true-crime catalog continues to grow, its 2024 titles have been a mixed bag so far. There’s been some gems like An American Nightmare, which cleverly subverts viewer expectations and goes against the grain by actually holding law enforcement accountable. Others, like What Jennifer Did (which has drawn controversy for its alleged use of AI-manipulated imagery), merely rehash the facts of clear-cut cases and ultimately fail to bring anything revelatory to the table.

Netflix seems to dominate the documentary scene with its banger docs attracting the attention of millions around the world. You can recall the recent success of What Jennifer Did, the shocking film that reigned supreme in the platform’s chart for weeks.
More than that, these days the top is dominated by another doc, Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal, and it even managed to dethrone Netflix’s biggest hit of 2024 so far, Baby Reindeer. It all makes the documentary coming to the platform much more anticipated.
The upcoming movie revolves around Miranda Derrick, a dancer whose hype on social media is hard to overestimate. While her viral videos and sleek photos gain millions of likes on TikTok and Instagram, her life behind the camera seems to be much darker than those images.

Netflix’s Baby Reindeer entered the streaming top 10 in mid-April, and given the continued buzz around the series, it’s likely to stay around for a while.
The show drew 673 million minutes of viewing for the week of April 15-21, according to Nielsen’s latest streaming rankings. That was good for third place among original series and ninth among all titles.
Prime Video’s Fallout had a second straight huge week, if not quite as big as its first. It had 2.62 billion minutes of watch time, off a slight 10 percent from its opening week, which was the best single week for a Prime Video show since Nielsen began its streaming rankings almost four years ago. It’s also the first show that doesn’t stream on Netflix to have back-to-back weeks above 2 billion minutes of viewing.

Prime Video has touted the viewer response to Fallout as its second-biggest series ever worldwide over 16 days of release. In the United States (and over a shorter time period), it’s No. 1.
Fallout recorded 2.9 billion minutes of viewing time in the U.S. over its first five days, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings for April 8-14. That’s far and away the best opening for a series on the Amazon-owned Prime Video, beating Reacher’s series premiere week in early 2022 (1.84 billion minutes) by more than a billion minutes.
The series also had more than double the second-place show on the list for the week: Bluey had 1.39 billion minutes of viewing in the week leading up to and including the release of its special episode “The Sign,” which premiered on April 14.

Home viewing charts inspire deja vu: “Anyone but You,” a hit as a PVOD release, just debuted at Netflix. It knocked out Netflix’s expensive “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver” from first place after two weeks, falling to #6.
Similarly, “Dune: Part Two” returned for its second week as #1 at both iTunes (ranking by transactions) and Fandango (which calculates by revenue).
The “Dune” sequel fended off challenges by two recent theatrical releases. Dev Patel’s “Monkey Man” (Universal), once intended as a Netflix original, is #2 at iTunes, third at Fandango. The family-oriented “Arthur the King” (Lionsgate) took second at Fandango, but only #6 at iTunes. Both initially are available to rent for 48 hours for $19.99.
Two new home-play debuts also made top 10 lists. “Cash Out” (Saban) is #9 at iTunes, renting at $6.99; starring John Travolta, the critically reviled title may be getting as much attention for its little-known director Ives. That’s...

Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver might have debuted at #1 on the English Films List for Netflix’s Top 10 with 21.4 million views, but it wasn’t enough to top the original or stand against other films on the popular streaming service. When Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire debuted in December, the Star Wars-like action film gained 23.9 million views during its opening window. While the gap between both films isn’t staggering, one has to wonder why more people failed to tune in for the continuation of Snyder’s story.
While I would say the promotional lead-up to Rebel Moon 2 felt weaker than the first, others could beg to differ. Regardless of the sequel’s opening salvo, 5.5 million viewers returned to Rebel Moon—Part One: A Child of Fire to familiarize themselves with the original before watching the sequel.

Netflix Top 10: ‘Baby Reindeer’ Leads TV Chart, ‘Rebel Moon — Part Two’ Debuts as Most-Watched Title
watched English-language TV series, and the 11th-most watched series overall, it was the No. 1 TV series on the service from April 15-21, reaching 13.3 million views — impressive, especially for a title that premiered with a smaller scale marketing campaign than titles with similar viewership.
The most-watched title of the week overall was “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” the follow-up to Zack Snyder’s 2023 film “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire.” The movie hit 21.4 million views in its first three days of availability, putting it slightly behind “Part One,” which reached 23.9 million views in the same amount of time. The release of “Part Two” also gave a boost to “Part One,” which returned as the No. 5 English-language film with 5.5 million views. Also notable on the film chart was “Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp” and “What Jennifer Did,” which hit 18.8 million and 16.3 million views in their first full weeks of availability.

With two major sci-fi sequels debuting this week to lead the VOD and Netflix charts, the new films also inspired victory laps for the Part Ones of “Dune” and “Rebel Moon.”
“Dune: Part Two” (Warner Bros.) leads at both iTunes and Fandango, and Netflix’s original “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver” is #1 at the streamer. iTunes packaged the 2021 “Dune: Part One” with its sequel as a $34.99 purchase, and it ranks second there. (“Dune: Part Two” alone rents for 48 hours for $24.99.) “Rebel Moon — Part One” returned at #7 on Netflix’s top 10.
Three other recent theatrical releases also transitioned to home viewing, with curiously different pricing and availability strategies. The top grosser is Neon’s “Immaculate” (approaching $16 million), but it rents for the lowest price: $9.99. “Late Night with the Devil” (IFC) is $14.99, but for that price consumers own it. “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” (Goldwyn) with Liam Neeson is a standard $19.99 rental.

This article contains spoilers for Netflix’s What Jennifer Did.
The true crime documentary business stays booming. Long a mainstay of both network and cable television, true crime documentary films and docuseries have increasingly gained a foothold in the streaming world as well.
Premier streamer Netflix has been particularly fond of the engaging (and inexpensive) format, churning out many new true crime efforts each month. At first glance, Netflix’s latest doc, What Jennifer Did, is your standard fare.
The 90-minute documentary from director Jenny Popplewell recounts the chilling real life case of Jennifer Pan. On Nov. 8, 2010, Jennifer called 9-1-1 to report that three masked men had invaded her family’s Markham, Ontario home and shot her dad Huei Hann Pan and her mom Bich Ha Pan as part of a botched robbery. Bich ultimately died from her injuries while Hann narrowly survived after a lengthy coma.

Netflix true crime documentary What Jennifer Did, about a murder case in 2010, appears to use AI to generate images of the convicted killer at its centre.
An otherwise typical Netflix true crime documentary has sparked controversy over its alleged use of AI to generate images of its subject.
Released on the 10th April, What Jennifer Did relates the grim case of Jennifer Pan, a Canadian woman who was eventually convicted for her involvement in the deaths of her parents. Directed by Jenny Popplewell, the documentary uses interviews with the law enforcers involved in the case, news footage, and clips of Pan herself being interrogated by officers.
More perplexingly, though, the 86-minute film also appears to have used AI to fake images of a younger, happier Pan before the crimes took place. These images are used prominently in both the trailer (which you can see below) and the documentary itself: in one,...

What do you do if you're making a true crime documentary for Netflix, but you don't have enough good-quality photos of the murderer? Well, you can shoot re-enactment footage with an actor (with text to make it clear that it's a re-enactment). You can use illustrations or even animation. What you probably shouldn't do is use AI to plug the gaps, resulting in photos of the killer with nightmarish teeth and hands from the fourth dimension.
Unfortunately, that's exactly what the filmmakers behind "What Jennifer Did," a 90-minute documentary about Jennifer Pan's kill-for-hire attack on her own parents, decided to do. The results, as seen above and below, were disturbing, to say the least. While it's been widely speculated that the images are entirely AI-generated, it's also possible that an AI photo enhancer like Remini or VanceAI was used on poor-quality photos to try and restore them, resulting in...

There’s a growing category of true-crime documentaries that could be called “They Did It” — docuseries and features that make half-hearted attempts to keep the perpetrator(s) a mystery with padded run times or an overreliance on dramatic reenactments and drone shots. You really don’t have to watch more than the first 10 to 15 minutes of docs like What Jennifer Did, Love Stalker Killer, or I Just Killed My Dad to identify the guilty party.

After a slow start of 2.3 million views in its opening weekend on Netflix, viewership of Andrew Scott’s “Ripley” barely increased in its first full week of availability. The limited series reached 2.5 million views between April 8 and April 14, making it the streamer’s No. 6 English-language TV title of the week — low for a project of its caliber, given the talent and IP attached.
Meanwhile, “Sex and the City” fell of the chart after debuting at No. 6 when it was added to Netflix the week before via a licensing deal. Though it may or may not be far behind this week’s No. 10 series, it seems that the HBO classic didn’t reach Gen Z in the way Netflix had hoped — or maybe they’re just tuning in on Max, where the series was already available.

3 Body Problem clocked another week atop Netflix’s TV charts — though it appears to have been a slow week for the streamer’s series.
The drama series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, as well as Alexander Woo, clocked just 4.8M views in its third week at No. 1. Consider that the series tallied 11M views in its first weekend on Netflix and could only muster second place.
The series now sits just below 40M views in total since launch, which places it about halfway to the most popular list. It would need more than 83M views in its 91-day premiere window to beat out The Witcher Season 1. This is still looking relatively unlikely, since the series peaked with about 15.6M views in one week and viewership has steeply declined in the past two measurement periods.
The Gentlemen took third place again, but its viewership also declined to 3.7M views.

“Kung Fu Panda 4” (Universal) debuted on PVOD to #1 April 9, which it has enjoyed for a week; that will end with “Dune: Part 2” (Warner Bros.), which debuts today after 46 days in release.
Both films still are in the box office Top 10. “Panda” actually rose one position to #4 this weekend, with its 29 percent drop the lowest of any holdover on the list. It still has a shot at a $200 million domestic gross. “Dune 2,” which was #5 this weekend and will get close to $300 million, will likely minimize the impact of parallel home availability given its essential visual presentation.
Based on presales, “Dune 2” is already #6 on iTunes top 10 list (ranked by transactions). Other platforms stick to currently available titles, but it would be surprising if it’s not immediately #1 on both iTunes and Fandango.

The premiere week of Netflix’s “Ripley” elbowed “3 Body Problem” out of the No. 1 slot among streaming original series for the week of April 5-11, according to Luminate streaming ratings.
Among streaming original movies, “Scoop” managed a solid break for Netflix while Amazon Prime Video’s “Road House” hung tough in its third full week in release, as reported by Luminate in its weekly Top 10 Streaming Originals charts for series and movies.
“Ripley,” the much talked-about adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s classic fraudster saga “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” from Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Zaillian, debuted with about 670.1 million minutes watched across its eight episodes. That translates to about 1.5 million views.
A sleeper entrant at No. 2 was Netflix’s unscripted crime docu “Files of the Unexplained,” with 531.3 million minutes watched across eight episodes. The show’s audience grew 276% in its first full week in release after premiering on April 3.

At this point, I’ve got to say that true crime documentaries have sort of become the bread and butter for Netflix. They keep churning them out, one after another, and we keep gobbling them. I’m not going into the good or bad, but the truth is, this has just become a culture. The latest one in the block is What Jennifer Did, which is about a young woman getting convicted for the murder of her mom and the attempted murder of her dad. The description itself pretty much explains why Netflix would make a documentary out of it. In this article, we’re going to get into “what” Jennifer really did and how the one-and-a-half-hour-long documentary turned out to be for us, from the perspective of the audience.

A car crash interview with a delusional prince, a new series adaptation featuring Patricia Highsmith’s most infamous creation, the second part of Zack Snyder’s pricey space opera and a paranormal detective show set within Neil Gaiman’s celebrated Sandman universe are among the big titles hitting Netflix in April.
Debuting April 4 is Ripley, Netflix’s glossy new take on Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Fresh from the critical acclaim he received for All of Us Strangers, Irish actor Andrew Scott will be inhabiting the role of Tom Ripley in an adaptation that will be screened in black-and-white. The eight-episode series also stars Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf, Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood, and acting newcomer Eliot Sumner (son of Sting and Trudie Styler) as Freddie Miles. Written and directed by Oscar winner Steven Zaillian, Ripley was originally set for release on Showtime before it found a new home on Netflix.
