Netflix subscribers who have already devoured the streaming platform's most popular show at present have another 'heartbreaking' true crime series available to binge watch straight away.

At the time of writing, Should I Marry A Murderer currently occupies the number one position among the most watched titles by subscribers.

The three-part series recounts the case surrounding a cyclist who vanished without a trace, until fresh information emerged from an unlikely source.

According to Netflix's synopsis, three years after a violent crime is committed and meticulously covered up, a young forensic pathologist, Caroline, encounters a man on a Tinder date and rapidly falls in love.

Their whirlwind romance culminates in an engagement - and a future that appears certain , reports the Mirror.

However, her fiancé is concealing something horrific. When he eventually confides in her about a brutal killing and a body that was never discovered, Caroline finds herself thrust into an unthinkable position. Remain loyal to the man she loves - or risk everything by revealing the truth?

Viewers have binged the series in record time and reacted emotionally. One person admitted they found it 'gut wrenching'.

However, those seeking even more details have another true crime programme to consume next. Produced by BBC Scotland, Murder Case is another similarly harrowing true crime docuseries.

Yet it is presented from a distinctive standpoint. The series takes viewers inside Scotland's most complex and harrowing murder investigations, with unparalleled access. Officers and prosecutors lay bare the extraordinary lengths required to bring about justice.

There are 10 episodes in total of Murder Case now streaming. This includes a two-part instalment entitled The Vanishing Cyclist. While it examines the same case in Glencoe, the Scottish Highlands as the new Netflix series described above, it offers an entirely fresh perspective.

Consequently, the series has climbed into the trending section of BBC iPlayer. Viewers can still expect to uncover new details they may not have previously known. Alongside the investigation into the disappearance of cyclist Tony Parsons, at least six further cases are also examined.

These include a case dating back to 1998 in which a mother vanished without explanation, as well as the death of a man following a savage street attack and a young mother who was murdered in her own home.

The series has garnered widespread praise from viewers, particularly for its distinctive approach. As one person posted on IMDB, rating it 10/10: "Heartbreaking and utterly absorbing. A fascinating, brilliantly constructed documentary series exploring the work of the Scottish police and the impact of brutal crimes on victims and their families.

"The direction, editing and storytelling are second to none. Victims are centred in the narrative and bereaved families are given dignity and a powerful voice, but most of all this is a testament to the compassion, ingenuity and professionalism of all those involved in solving these crimes."

Another remarked: "Cases as they unfold without the fluff. One of the best true crime documentaries I've watched - and I have watched almost all out there. The detectives are incredible and there's a more serious and sad effect with softer music, very different to the feel of American shows."

They went on to say: "They take their time to give a more thorough view behind the curtains of investigations that we don't often see. It's not about the entertainment like other shows, this is about the sad truths and raw emotions behind the investigative process. Just wish there were more seasons already!"

Murder Case is streaming on BBC iPlayer and Should I Marry A Murderer is streaming on Netflix.
