'It's a one season banger': Your favourite underrated true crime shows
True crime isn't for the faint of heart, but its popularity among TV fans shows no sign of slowing down. From documentaries to dramatisations, there's no shortage of such shows on the streaming platforms. Just recently, we've seen the return of BBC's The Gold, while a harrowing Netflix documentary on the crimes of Fred and Rose West soared up the most-watched chart. And there's even rumours that the much-loved Mindhunter could be making a return. Whether you get your fix from well-worn cases or crimes that went unnoticed by the wider public, there's something for everyone. But with all these new releases, it's easy to overlook older TV shows that perhaps never got the attention they deserved. We've asked Metro readers to share their favourite underrated true crime shows, and here's what they recommend… Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

One user, calling themselves PhilhelmScream, suggested We Own This City, to which another user echoed: 'We Own This City is so good!' The six-episode series is based on the book of the same name by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton, and chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. Meanwhile, WillNeighbor wrote: 'No one talks about ZeroZeroZero and it's a little one season banger. Undercover and the prequel/spinoff Ferry also had me a little hooked, as long as you don't mind subtitles'. ZeroZeroZero is also based on a book, this one by Italian journalist Roberto Saviano. The series follows the journey of a massive shipment of cocaine across the world. Dus90 praised Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, which is a Netflix limited series about the former NFL star and convicted murderer. They said:'[It] isn't just another true crime doc, it dives deep into toxic masculinity, sports culture, trauma, and identity.' And they added: 'What makes it so good is that it doesn't just lay out the events, it actually tries to understand how someone ends up there. It's way more than just shock value, it's a complex, layered story.' Elsewhere, GuiltEdge recommended The Serpent, a BBC series about a serial killer, saying: 'It really nails the vibe of Thailand in the 70s,' while Dofrogsbit suggested The Case, which interviews police officers about cases that still haunt them and is free to stream on Tubi. Other true crime shows mentioned by TV fans included Dr. Death, which follows stories of medical malpractice, as well as The FBI Files and Forensic Files, both of which take a look behind the scenes of real-life investigations.

A synopsis reads: 'It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city, in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.' The series proved popular with fans and critics alike, earning an impressive 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Daily Beast wrote in their review: 'With firecracker performances from Jon Bernthal and Josh Charles, it's a worthy spiritual successor to The Wire, in all its greatness.'

Where to watch: All six episodes are available to stream on Apple TV Plus, Now TV and Sky. In the drugs trade, 'zero zero zero' is the nickname for the very purest, highest quality grade of cocaine. This TV series, based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Roberto Saviano, follows the journey of an enormous cocaine shipment — from the Italian cartel purchasing it, to its packaging in Mexico and shipment to Europe, all while looking at the people whose livelihood depends on a successful delivery. Critics gave the series a near-perfect 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while TV fans on Reddit have raved about how 'underrated' it is. One user said: 'I honestly can't believe no one really talks about it, it's such an impressive production, big action scenes, great actors, fantastic writing'.

Aaron Hernandez was a much-loved American football player for the New England Patriots, until he was arrested in 2013 for the murder of his fiancée's sister's boyfriend, Odin Lloyd. This documentary begins with footage of the arrest and the news frenzy that followed, and examines how Hernandez went from NFL star to convicted killer via interviews with friends, players and insiders. Viewers have called the three-part series 'riveting', 'fascinating' and 'binge-worthy'. One reviewer praised: 'I watched the first episode when tired but refused to go to bed until I had finished the three parts. Brilliant, fascinating, disturbing, interesting and really well produced. Amazing story fantastically told.' Where to watch: All three episodes are available to stream on Netflix. First airing on BBC One and now available on Netflix, The Serpent tells the true story of French serial killer Charles Sobhraj (played by Tahar Rahim), who preyed on travellers exploring South Asia's 'hippie trail' in the 70s. The show received mixed reviews, with many praising Rahim and Jenna Coleman's performances while others said it was a slow-burner with 'bad storytelling'. But when it landed on iPlayer in January 2021, it became one of the most-streamed shows on the platform on what became its biggest-ever week, with more than 162 million programmes streamed over seven days. According to the BBC, The Serpent was streamed a total of 33 million times between January and March on iPlayer. Where to watch: Stream all eight episodes on Netflix. With six seasons to binge for free on Tubi, The Case is sure to scratch the true crime itch. The documentary tracks the criminal cases that still haunt the police officers once assigned to them, and asks what it is that means these stories have stayed with them. Cases covered in the 36 episodes include manhunts, disappearances, heists, international investigations and much more. It's a French series, so as long as you can get past the English dubbing, this true crime show is worth a watch — especially as it's available through a completely free streaming service. Where to watch: Stream six seasons for free on Tubi. Based on the true crime podcast of the same name, which chronicles cases of egregious medical malpractice, Dr. Death's two seasons dramatise the lives and work of Christopher Duntsch (played by Joshua Jackson) and Paolo Macchiarini (played by Édgar Ramírez). Duntsch is a former neurosurgeon who was sentenced to life in prison in 2017 after maiming and, in some cases, killing over 30 patients he had operated on. Macchiarini, meanwhile, is a former surgeon who rose to fame for developing the world's first artificial windpipe. However, many of his patients ended up dying or had complications following surgery. He was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison in 2023 by a Swedish court. More Trending Dr. Death has a very respectable 86% Rotten Tomatoes score across its two seasons, with the first series enjoying an impressive 93%. It's been hailed as 'stomach-knotting', 'impactful' and 'chilling' by TV critics, with several comparing it to a horror movie. The Irish Independent wrote in their review: 'It's an absolutely terrific performance by Jackson in a drama brimming with stomach-knotting tension. Every scene he's in is freighted with a sense of dread at what's going to happen next. Superb.'

Ford's Enticing 0-0-0 Offer: Can it Heat Up Summer Car Sales?
Ford F, one of the top-selling auto brands in the United States, is ready to capitalize on the peak driving season brought by the summer. As people plan on road trips, the company is lowering its upfront cost to encourage customers to own a car now, instead of waiting. Ford is rolling out bold summer incentives to attract buyers, reduce excess inventory, and stay competitive. It has come up with the "Zero, Zero, Zero" offer that will let customers buy eligible models at prices the same as those of Ford employees. Customers will be offered zero down payment, zero payments for the first 90 days and zero percent interest for the first 48 months. The 0-0-0 summer sales event is succeeding Ford's previous employee-pricing-for-all campaign after incorporating customer feedback. Although the campaign resonated with the customers, they could still benefit more from a straightforward reduction of costs. With this in mind, Ford yet again launched a transparent, national offer. The new deal is applicable to a variety of 2024 and 2025 Ford and Lincoln models, including the Ford Escape, Explorer, F-150, Mustang, Lincoln Aviator, Corsair, and Nautilus. But various other models remain exempt. With Ford's intense focus on increasing momentum, it has also extended its Ford Power Promise campaign through Sept. 30, which would provide a free EV home-charger and installation for its customers. As sales go live, Ford is expected to recharge its EV demand. Ford's Q2 2025 deliveries have climbed up to 612,095 units, an increase of 14.2%. Peers like General Motors GM and Toyota Motor TM have reported growth of 7% and 7.2% in their second quarter sales, respectively. Shares of Ford have lost around 2.4% over the past year compared with the industry's decline of 10.6%. Its peers, General Motors and Toyota, have gained 14% and lost 15.6%, respectively, over the same period. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, F trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.29, below the industry average. It carries a Value Score of A. In comparison, General Motors and Toyota trade at 0.29 and 0.66, respectively, both with a Value score of A.

Ford Is Now Offering $0 Down, 0% Financing on Select Models
Ford has announced a new "Zero, Zero, Zero" incentive program that replaces its previous employee-pricing-for-all campaign. The automaker's new deal offers zero down payment , zero payments for the first 90 days, and zero percent interest for the first 48 months. The deal is now available on a variety of 2024 and 2025 Ford and Lincoln models, but Raptors, Mavericks, and newer Navigators are among the exclusions. Ford says it had a successful first half of the year, which was fueled by its employee-pricing-for-all campaign that launched in April. That plan was intended to combat the Trump administration's tariffs, with its initial June 2 deadline extended to July 6. Now that that deal has expired, the domestic automaker today announced a follow-up act that it's calling the "Zero, Zero, Zero" offer. The new deal lets customers get into eligible vehicles with zero down payment and zero payments for the first 90 days. It also provides zero percent interest for the first 48 months. What's the rub? Well, while the offer applies to a variety of 2024 and 2025 Ford and Lincoln models—including the Ford Escape, Explorer, F-150, and Mustang as well as the Lincoln Aviator, Corsair, and Nautilus—there are a number of exemptions. Ford Ford states that the models excluded from this promotion include the following: 2025 and 2024 Raptor models, Mavericks, Rangers, Super Duty trucks (non-XL trims), and Transits (non-ICE cargo and passenger vans); 2025 Broncos, Bronco Sports, Expeditions, and Lincoln Navigators; and 2024 F-150 Lightnings and Mustang Mach-Es. In addition to this new campaign, Ford is also extending its Ford Power Promise through September 30, which includes a free EV home-charger installation. Basically, when someone buys or leases an eligible EV, the automaker throws in an SAE Level 2 home charger and pays for the installation.

Ford Just Made It a Lot Easier to Buy a Car This Summer
On the surface, Ford's latest announcement is a fantastic deal for car buyers. The company is retiring its 'employee pricing for all' campaign and rolling out an aggressive 'Zero, Zero, Zero' summer sales event: zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days. It's a tempting offer, but when you look closer at the economic landscape, it starts to look less like a confident summer promotion and more like a defensive maneuver against a gathering storm. The automaker's new 'zero down, zero interest' is a calculated response to economically stressed consumers and the looming expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit. Ford says it's responding to customers who, squeezed by higher mortgage rates and travel costs, want to buy a new car without a hefty upfront payment. 'Many families have seen their savings go toward higher mortgage rates and summer travel costs,' Rob Kaffl, who is director, U.S. sales and dealer relations said in a blog post.. 'They want a new vehicle but also want options that allow them to forgo an upfront down payment.' Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's latest Q1 2025 Household Debt and Credit report paints a stark picture. Total auto loan debt in the U.S. has swelled to $1.64 trillion. More importantly, the rate of serious delinquencies—loans 90 or more days past due—has climbed to 2.94%. While this figure has stabilized recently, it remains elevated, signaling that a significant number of Americans are struggling to make their car payments. For many, a down payment is no longer feasible, and with average new car loan rates still high, a zero percent interest offer is a massive financial relief. The Great American EV Fire Sale Is About to Begin Ford wants to lure cash-strapped buyers for gas-powered F-150s and Broncos. But there's a second, more urgent deadline that may be fueling this fire sale: the EV tax cliff. The hugely popular $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles is set to expire permanently on September 30. After that date, the single biggest government incentive for buying an EV vanishes overnight. This creates a massive sense of urgency for automakers like Ford to sell their current inventory of electric vehicles, like the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, before they effectively become $7,500 more expensive to the consumer on October 1. While Ford celebrated strong overall Q2 sales, a closer look at industry data reveals a telling weakness: sales of its fully electric models have been declining. The company's growth is being propped up by gas and hybrid trucks, not the EVs that are about to lose their biggest selling point. Latest Sales Data Reveal Clear Winners And Losers in a Messy EV Market By extending its 'Ford Power Promise' and rolling it into this new zero percent financing deal, Ford is essentially sounding an alarm bell. The company is telling potential EV buyers that this is their last, best chance to get a deal before the market fundamentally changes. It's an aggressive attempt to clear out EV inventory and lock in sales from anxious consumers before a challenging economic climate and the end of government subsidies create a perfect storm for the auto industry.
