The Real Murders of Atlanta

2022 · 4 seasons

A grim, interview-driven true-crime procedural that walks through real killings step by step, more sober and unsettling than thrilling.

Genres
Crime, Documentary
Starring
Aaron Goodson, Vernon Forrest, Kwanza Hall
Tagline
Some people would kill for a little southern hospitality.
Overview
Portrayal of the horrifying cases that highlight the boundaries between gentrified Southern dynasties, hip-hop hustlers and the flashy nouveau riche of this metropolitan mecca of music, entertainment and tech. Told by the investigators, witnesses, reporters and loved ones who have direct connections to the cases, each hourlong episode brings Atlanta's hustle and deadly decadence into sharp focus. It's the dark side of the New South, where deadly battles for status and affluence emerge between those who are willing to kill for the good life and those willing to kill to keep it.
