Crimes Gone Viral

2020 · 5 seasons

A rapid-fire true-crime show built around shocking security footage, offering quick, voyeuristic thrills with little emotional depth.

Genres
Crime, Documentary
Starring
Dustin Ebaugh, Derrick Levasseur, Garry McFadden
Overview
Gripping clips of kidnappings, break-ins, car chases, violent road rage incidents and other crimes rack up millions of views. But crimes gone viral goes beyond the jaw-dropping footage to tell the full story. Viral video of good samaritans who intervene to stop crimes, brave victims who fight back against their attackers, clever prison escapes and a shark heist.
