A new true crime documentary on Netflix, The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson, has shot to the top of the streaming service's UK charts within days of its release, leaving viewers emotionally overwhelmed.
The feature-length film, which landed on Friday (April 4), is currently the most-watched title on Netflix in the UK, surpassing shows like Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man and Care. It offers an intimate portrait of cyclist Moriah Wilson, whose athletic career was cut short by murder in May 2022.
