Some shows like 'Ozark' can be considered similar. It has elements that seem like they could be based on real - life financial crimes and the underworld. 'The Act' is also a good one. It was based on a true story about a mother - daughter relationship gone horribly wrong. And 'Unbelievable' is based on a true story about sexual assault investigations.
The plot could get really meta. Maybe the characters would start to act according to the fanfictions they read, which would be very different from the original plotlines. For instance, if a fanfic had a romantic pairing that wasn't in the original show, the characters might start to develop feelings for each other in the 'real' story.
Some shows like 'True Story' are 'When They See Us'. It's about the Central Park Five case and how the justice system failed them. 'Unbelievable' is also a great example. It's based on real events regarding rape investigations. And 'Dirty John' which is based on a true story of a con man and his relationship with a woman.
'Paranormal Witness' is also a show in the same vein. It has people sharing their terrifying experiences with the supernatural. The show re - enacts these events, making it very immersive. It often includes eyewitness accounts and investigations into the strange happenings, much like 'My Ghost Story'.
Psych mystery novels usually focus on the inner workings of the mind. The mystery is often intertwined with the psychological state of the characters. Take 'Before I Go to Sleep' for instance. The main character has amnesia, and the mystery of her past is closely related to her psychological condition. There's also a sense of unease and a build - up of psychological tension throughout the story.
One of the best psych novels is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It delves deep into the psychological breakdown of the main character, Jack Torrance, as he is isolated in the haunted Overlook Hotel. The slow descent into madness, influenced by the hotel's malevolent spirits, is a classic example of psychological horror in novel form.
Definitely. There have been accounts of poor sanitation in some psych hospitals. Dirty rooms and unhygienic conditions can be very distressing for patients, not to mention the potential health risks.
Some 'psych novels' include 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'. This novel gets deep into the mind of a mother trying to understand her son who has committed a heinous crime. It's a disturbing yet fascinating exploration of the psychological aspects of parenting and a child's development. Then there's 'The Silence of the Lambs'. It's well - known for its exploration of the minds of both the serial killer and the FBI agent trying to catch him, with a great deal of psychological tension.
One similar show could be 'Unsolved Mysteries'. It also presents real - life mysteries that often straddle the line between fact and the unexplained, just like 'Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction'. Another one is 'Paranormal Witness' which features people's encounters with the paranormal, leaving viewers to decide whether to believe or not.
