The first season of American Nightmare has rocketed to the top of Netflix's most watched TV shows charts this week, and with good reason: it sounds like fiction, but its tale of a woman accused by the police of faking her own kidnapping is a true and twisty story.
The dramatised documentary has racked up an impressive 48.1 million viewing hours and 21.4 million views so far, nearly double the view count of this week's number two, Fool Me Once – the success of which prompted two more Harlan Coben novels to be turned into shows.
