Do you consume true crime?

I used to be very interested in the history of crime and crime solving and watched a lot of tv shows. I stopped a few years ago, though. It was honestly not good for my mental health.

One show I remember loving was Murder Maps.

I used to watch Forensic Files but I just don't watch much TV any more.
I'll read true crime books now and again but I've never felt an urge to track down any podcasts.

I do, but I prefer the academic approach. So I read a lot of historical true crime books, or listen to podcasts that have a primarily historical or sociological approach. I hate podcasts that interview, well, anyone, but I definitely don't listen to any that interview the victim or the victim's friends and family.

Yeah, historical stuff (so before my lifetime) I will read. Current stuff or the amateur sleuth stuff, no.

I listen to podcasts. When I was younger I'd read true crime books but I've never been into shows. Granted, I don't watch a ton of TV.

Yes. My preference is for the forensic science side of it, or historical. I also like unsolved mysteries in general. TV shows like Forensic Files, Murder Maps that philstar already mentioned is a good one, 48 Hours, FBI Files. One shot documentaries if they're decent. For Youtube channels, Just Thought Lounge, Cold Case Detective, Crime A to Z, Truly Criminal.

Not really. I often follow missing persons cases via the news and a true crime group that’s a little different than the true crime fannish ones. Mostly we just search out news and speculate. The group does that for many crimes including cold cases but usually it’s just missing persons cases that I follow. The group will turn ghoulish for some of the big cases and the mod team isn’t quite as good at stamping that out as they used to be.
I do find some true crime shows interesting but haven’t watched any in a long time. Joe Kenda was still on air the last time I watched.

Everyone involved has to be dead and gone. I recently listened to a series on Jack the Ripper and another about Lord Lucan. The latter was definitely too modern for me. The Ripper murders were on the cusp of what I can cope with.

My book club's read-of-the-month is a very recent account of the murder of children. I got about five pages into it and went, "Nope."

I used to but the ones I listened to declined a LOT in quality so I ditched them. The only one I still watch is "Well I never" because the host seems so nice and it's all historical cases that are presented in a tasteful manner.

Nope.
The closest thing I do is watching Law & Order SVU and that sometimes has cases inspired by true life events, but most of the time I don't even get it at first because I don't live in the USA and I'm not that exposed to those news. I give SVU a pass because they usually change tons of details and make the real life implications ignorable (they sometime change victims/culprits and/or prosecution result), but I usually try to avoid anything true crime as much as possible. it disturbs me and I don't get the appeal.
