Who Killed Little Gregory? is a new Netflix documentary series. Once again, we’re in the true crime department and this is definitely one of the strongest Netflix documentaries.

The case in question is from 1984 when the young Gregory is found murdered. He was only 4 years old and the parts leading up to the murder and what happens immediately after are breathtaking. Each episode ends on a cliffhanger, so you will probably be hooked from the beginning.

Storytelling done right

What I really enjoyed about Who Killed Little Gregory? was the fact that the storytelling is so incredibly well executed. We follow the story chronologically which makes it feel like you’re almost watching this real-time. This in itself is quite impressing since the case is from 1984 and not at all a recent event.

When the Netflix series opens, we do get a bit of back story, but that’s merely to let us know that this family has already been through a lot. From the murder of Gregory happens, the story consistently moves forward and I really appreciate that. In fact, that’s what I liked about The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann as well.

As things evolve, it would probably all feel too sensational if we didn’t get to see how the story actually unfolded. I really don’t want to give away too much about how this story unfolds. You will no doubt form your own opinion about who you think is guilty. However, be ready to have that change a few times before the series is over.
