Killer Ratings is a new Netflix documentary series with 7 episodes. After watching episode 1 of Killer Ratings you should be hooked. The story is so crazy that it’s almost impossible to believe that it’s true.
In fact, you probably won’t know what to believe after watching episode 1 on Killer Rating on Netflix.
Then again, the “star” of this documentary is Brazilian TV host (and state representative), Wallace Souza.

Sick and crazy but true!
While watching Killer Ratings on Netflix, you will find it almost impossible to believe that this is actually based on a true story. Or actually, it’s not just based on, it is a true story. Then again, if you’ve watched other documentaries or even fictional movies about life in South America, you won’t be too surprised.
You might want to check out Tigers Are Not Afraid which is a feature film based on a real-life issue in Mexico.
Also, Netflix already has several true crime documentary series out already and you don’t really want to believe that any of them could be true.
The craziest one is still Abducted in Plain Sight and compared to that one, Killer Ratings is very believable.
