10 All-Time Great Netflix Original Series

10. The Keepers

This is sort of in the same vein of Making a Murderer, without all of the moral ambiguity of rooting for a man to be released from prison who was previously charged with animal cruelty.

An unflinching look at a young, beloved nun's murder and subsequent cover up, The Keepers tells the unfortunately now common tale of sexual abuse within religious institutions, while managing to bring a fresh angle that keeps audiences engaged throughout the amateur detective work of the show's stars.

The subject matter is as fascinating as it is heartbreaking, gripping as middle-aged women recount their dark experiences at a Catholic high school, and how one teacher, Sister Cathy Cesnik, touched their lives before her untimely death.

Unlike many other true crime shows, the investigators have a personal stake in getting justice for Sister Cathy, so we celebrate each small victory throughout the show, on the rare occasions that they happen upon a new clue.
