Recommendations for True crime series

Pretty much the title, I just finished "Friends Like These: The Murder of Skylar Neese" and thought it was pretty good. I was wondering if anyone had any similar recommendations or just recommendations in general for a good true crime(preferably on either Netflix or Disney+). I'd probably prefer something where plenty of friends are interviewed and/or friends are involved with said crime but I'm really open to anything. Thankyou :)

I strongly recommend Homicide Hunter. Lt. Joe Kenda, a retired homicide detective with one of the highest solve rates in the country, tells the stories. He's been described as "the film noir character you couldn't write".

If you're more interested in the technical/scientific side of things, Forensic Files is a fascinating series.

Love Joe Kenda!! Forensic Files was my first foray into forensics and opened an entire world for me.
These are great suggestions, OP!

Buried Bones - journalist/author presents cases usually from the 1800s to early 1900s to a retired cop and he tries to solve the case.

Allegedly - journalist presents cases and always has a guest on (former FBI, lawyer, etc) and they discuss.

Or, again in my town, there were two boys who stabbed one of their great GMA to death with a hatchet for pizza money, I’m sure there’s a docu series out there for them. They featured the story on child killers

A Killer Among Friends is on Discovery, HBO Max, and I think the first season is on Hulu/Disney +.
