After dominating the UK Netflix charts since its release on March 13, Adolescence has finally been dethroned, with a gripping true crime documentary series taking its place at the top.
The intense drama, which follows a father whose life is turned upside down when his son is accused of murder, has captivated audiences and sparked widespread discussions about toxic masculinity and family dynamics. Praised for its storytelling, the series has kept viewers hooked, with star and producer Graham admitting he had “no idea” how much of an impact it would have. He and his partner, Hannah Walters, have already confirmed that discussions are underway for a follow-up.
However, despite its immense popularity, Adolescence has now been overtaken by Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, a chilling new documentary series that has quickly become Netflix’s latest must-watch. Released on March 31, the series delves into the infamous Gilgo Beach serial killings, offering a deeply personal look at the case through the perspectives of victims’ loved ones.
True crime continues to dominate streaming trends, and the success of Gone Girls highlights the public’s fascination with real-life mysteries and criminal investigations. While Adolescence may have been knocked off the top spot, its cultural impact remains undeniable, and with talks of a follow-up already in motion, fans won’t have to wait long for more.
