A new true crime documentary added to Netflix has viewers bingeing it in one go.
The platform’s newest true crime docuseries has quickly become a breakout hit, with viewers calling it ‘a mind-broiler’ and claiming they ‘binged it all in one go.’
“This crime docuseries was really good. The entire crew did an excellent job on telling this crime story and what is really going on with this case,” said a viewer, one of many fans praising the show’s gripping and comprehensive storytelling.
“That Netflix documentary blew my mind,” reads another post. And many others agree.
Released as the latest installment of the Cold Case franchise, the three-part series revisits one of the most chilling unsolved cases in American history: the 1982 Tylenol poisonings that left seven people dead and the nation in shock.
Directed by Yotam Guendelman and Ari Pines (Shadow of Truth, Buried) and executive produced by true crime powerhouse Joe Berlinger (Conversations with a Killer), the docuseries reopens the tragic case with never-before-seen evidence, emotional interviews with victims’ families, and chilling footage of key suspect James Lewis.
Lewis spent more than a decade in prison for attempting to extort Tylenol’s manufacturer but was never charged with the murders.
Lewis, who died in 2023, features heavily in the series, offering viewers an unsettling glimpse into his motives and past crimes.
Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders doesn’t just recount the facts — it digs deep into the disturbing inconsistencies of the decades-long investigation.
Was Lewis the lone suspect? Or was there a deeper failure in the system, possibly involving Johnson & Johnson itself?
The docuseries doesn’t shy away from controversy. It explores allegations that the company’s internal investigations may have overlooked (or even obscured) critical facts.
Potassium cyanide, the poison used in the murders, was reportedly present in Johnson & Johnson’s facilities at the time, used in quality control testing.
Gardiner Harris, journalist and author of ‘No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson,’ adds to the intrigue, pointing out potential flaws in the company’s explanation and questioning whether the pills could have been tampered with inside the manufacturing chain.
The documentary also details the victims’ families’ long battle for accountability, including a lawsuit that was quietly settled in 1991.
The docuseries doesn’t provide easy answers — but it does crack open the narrative, suggesting the real story may be more complex and unsettling than previously thought.
As a final viewer summed up: “A mind-broiler. Recommend.”
Viewers who enjoy their true crime with depth, emotion, and unflinching journalism won’t want to miss this one.
