10 Best True Crime Documentaries Of 2023 (So Far)

10. Jared From Subway: Catching A Monster

The story of Jared Fogle - a beaming spokesperson hired by fast food giant Subway after their sandwiches played a vital role in him miraculously shedding more than a hundred kilograms of weight - was meant to be an inspiring, uplifting tale.

Regrettably, the harrowing feature presented by Discovery+, Jared From Subway: Catching A Monster, instead lays bare the abhorrent true nature behind Fogle's facade. Fogle was ultimately sentenced to 15 years in prison on child pornography and sex tourism charges.

Catching a Monster's reveals about the ins-and-outs of Fogle's abuse are sickening, utilizing audio of the man himself to paint a picture of just how repugnant this individual truly was. This is due in no small part to the efforts of Rochelle Herman - a journalist who became an FBI informant and feigned complicity to expose Fogle's horrendous crimes.

Catching a Monster does an excellent job of highlighting just how prominent a figure Fogle truly was. Forget the fact that he was the face of Subway commercials for years - the man was literally spoofed by comedic titans in the vein of Southpark and Saturday Night Live, underlining just how significant this was.
