The reason you'll never answer another roommate ad again.

The original Blumhouse docuseries that spawned an entire franchise of domestic nightmares. This show introduces us to roommates who weren't just messy or loud — they were violent con artists, stone-cold killers, and predators hiding in plain sight. From the "BFF" who tried to kill her roommate for the inheritance to the charming subletter with a body count, each story makes you grateful for that annoying friend who never does the dishes. At least they aren't forging your signature on a life insurance policy.

The gold standard of "people you thought you knew" true crime. If you've ever had a creepy roommate, this will feel vindicating. If you haven't, you'll never look at a Craigslist ad the same way again.
