Gokusen to My Home Hero: 7 Japanese dramas based on Yakuza

<p>There has been a growth in the number of true crime documentaries and serial killer shows on OTT platforms in recent years, and they have become one of the biggest entertainment trends for viewers. Whether it's Mindhunter, Dahmer, Delhi Crime, or Raakh, millions of viewers willingly spend hours watching stories about violent crimes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But have you ever wondered why people are so fascinated by the darkest side of human behaviour? And does enjoying such content reveal something about your personality? WION spoke to experts to understand the psychology behind this ever-growing obsession and how our brains are hard-wired to be attracted to things like crime, mystery and danger and whether binge-watching them can affect our mental health.</p><h2>Why are we so obsessed with true crime?</h2><p>True crime isn’t just about violence; it’s about people and solving puzzles. As per Saikishore, Clinical Psychologist, Aster Whitefield Hospital, "People tend to be very interested in true crime because it combines mystery, psychology, and real human behaviour." He explains that such stories provide the audience with an opportunity to explore questions like why do people commit crimes? What methods do police use to solve complicated cases? Also, what are the factors leading to an individual's extreme actions? "From a psychological point of view, humans are naturally drawn to danger and survival information. True crime material acts as a means of safely understanding dangerous situations without any risk of one's own. Also, many are moved by the narrative element of these stories, which bring out themes of justice, courage, and the suffering of victims and their families."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/emotionally-abandoned-not-emotionally-void-the-single-parents-left-behind-to-fight-a-rigged-game-of-love-1782546676540"><strong>Emotionally abandoned, not empty: The single parents left behind to fight a rigged game of love</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding to this, Dr. Megha Agarwal, Consultant Psychiatrist, Kailash Deepak Hospital, says people don't just watch these shows for entertainment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

True crime and serial killer dramas

<p>"The honest answer is: both, and they are rarely separable. Most viewers begin with entertainment, drawn by suspense and narrative tension, but the brain quietly absorbs real information along the way. Psychologists call this incidental learning. People pick up patterns about predatory behavior, warning signs in relationships, and how investigations unfold without ever sitting down to study," she said.</p><h2>Emotions play a key role</h2><p>Every good crime story takes viewers through a range of emotions, from curiosity and suspense to fear, shock, and finally relief. "Crime stories and dramas usually bring out a mix of feelings in people. Mostly, it is curiosity that gets the strongest, because audiences want to know the whole story, what happened and why. Besides curiosity, one can also experience suspense fear anxiety, or shock in when the story has unexpected twists or unpleasant details," Saikishore added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/web-of-style-a-look-at-zendaya-s-jaw-dropping-spider-man-brand-new-day-press-tour-looks-1782533728363"><strong>Zendaya’s jaw-dropping Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour looks</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, a lot of viewers also sympathize with the victims and their families. People get their cases solved or justice done, with which they feel relieved and satisfied. "This whole cycle of emotions - getting from not knowing to finding out - is one of the reasons why crime stories attract our attention."</p><h2>What does the habit show about your personality?</h2><p>Many people wonder if enjoying stories about serial killers means they have a darker side. According to experts, that's a myth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"To enjoy true crime stories doesn't really imply that a person is aggressive or secretly enjoys violence. Mostly, it just means that they are curious, interested in human psychology, and want to know how complicated situations work," Saikishore explains.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Agarwal agrees that curiosity plays a major role. She says many viewers develop what psychologists call incidental learning, where they unknowingly absorb information while simply trying to be entertained.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, she also warns that watching many documentaries can sometimes create a false sense of expertise about criminal behaviour.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/health-and-wellness/why-kidney-stone-cases-rise-sharply-in-summer-and-how-to-protect-yourself-expert-explains-1782289778144"><strong>Why Kidney stone cases rise sharply in summer - and how to protect yourself</strong></a></p><h2>Why serial killers become the centre of attention</h2><p>Perhaps the biggest draw of true crime is trying to understand people who commit unimaginable acts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Agarwal explains, "Serial killers represent something deeply paradoxical: they are human beings who violated the most fundamental social contract. That paradox is psychologically irresistible."</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>She says people are naturally wired to understand other minds, especially when someone's behaviour seems impossible to explain. This curiosity is also linked to what researchers call morbid curiosity, the desire to understand the darker side of human nature from a safe distance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Saikishore adds that mystery itself keeps people invested. "Humans have evolved a survival mechanism that involves paying special attention to possible threats. Since identifying danger was crucial to survival, stories about crime, risk, and uncertainty automatically draw attention. But mystery makes even more interesting because the brain loves to find answers and resolve questions that are left open."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/international-yoga-day-2026-how-india-took-an-ancient-practice-to-the-united-nations-1782026478914"><strong>International Yoga Day 2026: How India took an ancient practice to the UN</strong></a></p><h2>Do men and women watch true crime differently?</h2><p>“Research has consistently shown that women consume true crime content at significantly higher rates than men,” says Dr. Agarwal. She explains that many women unconsciously view these stories as lessons in personal safety, looking for warning signs and victim behaviour. Men, on the other hand, are often more drawn to the investigative side of cases, including forensic science and solving the mystery. While these are broad patterns, both groups are fascinated by understanding extraordinary human behaviour.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When does binge-watching become unhealthy? True crime is entertaining, but experts say that too much exposure to violent content can affect your mental well-being.</p><p>Dr. Agarwal says, "Yes, and this is one of the more underappreciated effects of heavy true crime consumption. The brain does not draw a clean line between a story and a real threat."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She warns that constant exposure can leave people feeling anxious, hyper-alert, or fearful in everyday situations. Difficulty sleeping, repeatedly checking locks, distrusting strangers, or feeling unsafe in ordinary places may all be signs that it's time to take a break.</p>

The building is one of the most recognised and visited places where Salman, on his birthday and other festivals, greets fans from the balcony.

Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty has received a fresh Rs 20 crore extortion threat via an audio clip, allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The clip warned that the earlier firing at his Juhu residence was a trailer, and next time bullets would target him directly. 

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has allegedly received a fresh extortion threat demanding Rs 20 crore, with the caller claiming to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The threat, delivered through an audio clip, warned that the earlier firing outside the filmmaker's residence was only a "trailer" and that the next attack would directly target him. According to Mumbai Crime Branch officials, the audio message was received recently and has now been sent for forensic examination to verify its authenticity and identify the speaker. Investigators suspect the voice in the clip could belong to Shubham Lonkar, a wanted accused in the Baba Siddique murder case, although officials have not yet confirmed the identity.

While no one was injured in the incident, the firing had triggered a major security response, with police launching an investigation into whether it was an intimidation tactic linked to an extortion attempt. Following the firing, security around the filmmaker's residence was enhanced, and investigators began examining possible links with organised crime syndicates that have increasingly targeted prominent businessmen, politicians and celebrities in recent years. The fresh audio message now appears to directly reference that incident, with the caller allegedly saying the firing was merely a warning and threatening a more serious attack if the extortion demand is not met.
