My parents watch Criminal Minds and similar shows all the time, two friends of mine bought a book about a serial killer and my Twitter timeline is full of people talking about a new true crime podcast. It's just my bubble or is it a broad cultural phenomenon?
Oh we have that in the states too. I remember either it was on here or back on the sub, someone shared a story about a US town where the police where called for everything. Shit you not, one of the calls was for squirrels fighting in someone's front yard.
