No genre exemplifies the saying “truth is stranger than fiction” than the true crime genre.

True crime docuseries have been thriving in the U.S. since the 1980s, which Stacker’s list reflects.

He has a theory, though, about what’s behind some of this.

“White supremacy is why Trump is in office,” says Young, co-founder of a popular blog on race, “Very Smart Brothas,” and author of “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker,” a memoir in essays.
