Netflix is not just a powerhouse of entertainment, but also a hub for gripping true crime stories and historic trials. Apart from courts and tribunals, this is also where deep lies and dreaded criminal horrors are laid bare. Many nerve-wracking crime stories and historic trials have found a home on the American streamer. A recent addition, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, promises to be evermore spine-chilling, as it follows a father called to the stands, accused of his daughter's death.

Thirty years after the brutal murder, the director hopes this portrayal will help the family attain justice, sparking intense discussion and raising important questions.

According to Variety, director Joe Berlinger revealed his motivations for creating the docuseries on JonBenét Ramsey's murder. Berlinger reflected on how he hopes to push Colorado authorities to take action and bring the killer to justice, nearly 30 years after the brutal murder. "The Ramsey family have been so brutalized," he said, adding further inputs about how they are being perceived based on the whims of the authorities.

Berlinger's docuseries, which is set to premiere tomorrow, sheds light on the case, particularly the Boulder Police's initial suspicion of John Ramsey. Despite the lack of evidence, the police fixated on this theory, which Berlinger argued, is a crucial aspect of the case that has been overlooked. The idea is to show how certain the Boulder Police were, "who, from day one, “had a feeling” that John Ramsey was the killer," reiterated Berlinger. His series aims to re-examine the investigation and its flaws.

The director then made it clear how it was not him picking any sides, but just rooting for justice, keeping The Ramseys in the loop. 

In the same conversation with Variety, the Oscar-nominated crime story mastermind, Joe Berlinger revealed that he approached John Ramsey about making the docuseries on JonBenét Ramsey's murder. Berlinger initiated the project, thinking it would be a good show, and reached out to Ramsey with a clear proposal. He offered Ramsey a straightforward deal.

Berlinger's terms were non-negotiable. Despite conditions of no monetary or editorial credits, Ramsey agreed to participate in the project. "This is not me picking up his advocacy," he said. Berlinger's approach ensured that the docuseries would be made without any perceived bias or influence from the Ramsey family. Following various crime documentaries and true stories-turned-series, like Inventing Anna, this promises to cater to crime enthusiasts and thriller audiences.
