Top 20 Craziest Docuseries You Should Binge Watch
Max, which already houses an extensive library of true crime documentaries, has made new additions. These documentaries cover a range of crimes and infamous real-life cases, including The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, which first premiered in 2023 and was renewed for a second season earlier this year. Other documentaries include the scandalous Nickelodeon documentary Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, The Jinx: Part Two and They Called Him Mostly Harmless.
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace is one of Investigation Discovery’s acclaimed true crime documentaries currently streaming on Max. The series first premiered in May 2023 and spotlighted the bizarre adoption case of Michael and Kristine Barnett, who are now divorced. The Barnetts reportedly adopted Natalia, a Ukrainian orphan, in 2010. They later claimed that Natalia was an adult and that she had tried to harm them on multiple occasions.
In January, the docuseries debuted a highly anticipated second season, titled Natalia Speaks. The six-part season 2 explored the case from the perspective of Natalia Grace, as she refuted the accusations made by the Barnetts, her former adoptive family. Natalia now lives with another couple from Indiana, Antwon and Cynthia Mans.
