Netflix docuseries have been known to make waves in the past and stir the public’s interest, like the 2004 docuseries by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, The Staircase, which hit the streamer in 2018 and resonated very well with subscribers. The incredibly enthralling endeavor offered an incredibly engaging account of the trial of Michael Peterson, a man convicted of murdering his wife, who he claims simply fell down the stairs.

The true-crime scripted drama series goes much deeper into the incident and follows what went down before, during, and after the horrible event. Firth stars as Michael Peterson, with Toni Collette playing his wife, Kathleen Peterson.

Also in the mix is a star-studded cast that includes Sophie Turner, Parker Posey, Rosemarie DeWitt, Dan DeHaan, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Juliette Binoche. So far, the series has received universal acclaim from critics and has earned an impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The documentary series was undoubtedly a big deal for the streaming service, and viewers were definitely riveted by the harrowing tale. It would absolutely be an ideal endeavor to behold for subscribers. But unfortunately, The Staircase series starring Colin Firth is not on Netflix.

Scripted true crime alternatives ready to stream now include Who Killed Sara, Mindhunter and Unbelievable. But if fans are looking for more options like the docuseries that inspired The Staircase, Netflix has the original as well as several others, including Murder Among Mormons, The Ripper, Crime Scene and Tiger King, just to name a few.

The Staircase is exclusively available for subscribers to HBO Max.
