True crime is the genre most in need of curation, because so much of it treats victims as plot points. This collection favours the films that investigate carefully and are honest about what is proven: cold cases and forensics, organised crime and fraud, and the long-form investigative journalism that does the work properly. 100 of the best, free to watch.
