New Netflix true crime doc focused on brutal submarine murder being called 'best of the year'

A new Netflix true crime documentary about a brutal submarine murder is being hailed the ‘best show of the year’. Watch the trailer here: 

Into the Deep: The Submarine Murder Case follows what happened when journalist Kim Wall disappeared in 2017 after boarding the submarine of inventor Peter Madsen, whose ‘changing story about her fate’ masked a ‘terrifying truth’. 

A synopsis from Netflix says: “Filmmaker Emma Sullivan was looking to profile eccentric inventor Peter Madsen and his homemade rocket for a documentary. Instead, she captures incriminating footage that helped convict him of the murder of journalist Kim Wall.” 

Many viewers are saying the ‘incredible’ feature-length documentary is the best thing they’ve seen this year. 

One person tweeted: “Into The Deep on Netflix is extraordinary. A documentary that started filming 11 months before its subject committed murder. Sensitively handled and not leering over the facts of the crime, this is as much about a group discovering a friend and leader is a psychopath. Watch now.” 

Someone else said: “Into The Deep on @netflix is maybe the best true crime doc of the year. The documentary captures the downward spiral of a murderous psychopath in real time. No dramatized footage needed. Absolutely shocking.” 

A third wrote: “Emma Sullivan that was the best true crime doc I’ve ever seen a masterpiece if you will, watch into the deep on Netflix it’s INCREDIBLE.” 

"The three-part docuseries not only delves into the killer’s warped psyche but also examines police accountability through a modern-day lens. As seen in the trailer above, the upcoming docuseries highlights interviews with those who worked closely with Dahmer, including his lawyer Wendy Patrickus, during his high-profile case."

Watch Into the Deep on Netflix now, while Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes arrives on the streaming site later this week on Thursday 7 October.
