Election Day escapism-recs thread!

the true crime that's worth your time

For many of us, this Election Day is a horror film we both cannot and must look away from (see also: the uncontrolled demolition of Twitter), so let’s think about something else: the true crime we’re using to avoid election coverage. Are you burying yourself in DVR’d Life After Lockups instead of watching MSNBC? Have you decided to go full cozy and marathon a cooking show or eight-pack of Hallmark movies?

I’ve got a bunch of unrelated deadlines to keep me away from depressing updates, but if a free moment arises, I’m going to split the difference with Anthony Bourdain’s Typhoid Mary. We’d still love to hear your recs, though! If you’re self-soothing with true crime, give and get recs here. — SDB
