It’s utter nightmare fuel for parents.

Much of the true-crime content on streaming consists of slickly produced catalogues of misery and tragedy that don't have anything new to add. That's what 'The Crash' felt like, too.

It’s ghoulish, it’s not particularly good, and it’s the latest entry in the streaming playbook of goosing viewership by pitting audiences against each other.

The manipulation is visible from the start — you can practically see the filmmakers deciding when to flip each card.

3.5/5

It occasionally suffers from the same problem as many modern true-crime documentaries, however, by stretching ambiguity for suspense even when the facts appear overwhelmingly clear. But at a brisk 92 minutes, it is still taut and absorbing.

3/5

The story itself is an engrossing tale of coercive control and car-crash forensics. As a documentary, though, it's fairly formulaic in its approach and lacks the incisive analysis of the best of the genre.

The Crash (2026) is a 94-minutes-long UK/US documentary I saw on Netflix in October 2026. I recalled this incident from somewhere when it happened so I watched. It provides information about the timeline, main characters, outcome. Recommend? No. Rewatch? No. 5/10.

I found this documentary very interesting. There are obviously two angles to the story and it does a good job of presenting the two sides of the argument. It's very balanced with contributions from both sides meaning you can draw your own conclusions when watching. Worth watching.

Although I was getting ragebaited by the girl and her parents, I liked this true crime doc that doesn’t skip over the details.
