In the story The crimes of morgue Street of Edgar Allan Poe, the search for clues that lead to unmasking a murderer is the most important thing. It was the first time in North American literature that a criminal investigation became the center of a plot. So much so that it became an immediate success and completely changed the way stories about unsolved mysteries were understood. Much more so, when he encouraged other future writers – among them, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie – to create an entire genre around the investigations. And also, an intriguing and attractive way to understand research processes that have ended up in mystery series.
Of course, cinema was no stranger to similar premises. Since its inception, stories related to the entire process involved in solving a crime became some of the most popular. Over the decades, they were also the origin of series linked to the passion for discovering enigmas. Which allowed the premise to be expanded to dark characters, often ambiguous and almost always very close to cruelty. Something that streaming platforms have led to all types of content, increasingly more complex and interesting related to the topic.
