While a TikTok user wrote: 'It's definitely worth a binge watch if you like a true crime.'
One episode featured the case of Julie Dixon, who lied about locking her fiancé in a cupboard and burning him to death, as friends said she chose a song about 'burning' for his funeral.
Julie, 50, murdered her partner of 15 years David Twigg, 46, in his workshop after she locked him in a cupboard and set the building alight in March 2011, in Burgh le Marsh near Skegness, Lincolnshire.
A Killer Makes A Call detailed how she blamed two masked intruders for the murder, but when police found no evidence of a raid they arrested her instead.
Checks on her computer showed that in the days leading up to the murder she had been searching for ways to kill someone without leaving any evidence that could be revealed in a post-mortem examination.
Police also spotted her on CCTV buying two cans of petrol the day before the murder and placing them in her car. When questioned about them she said it was for the lawnmower.
In the true crime show, friends of the couple revealed how Julie was acting 'weird' at David's wake, saying she was 'very lively' and 'bubbly' which made people feel uncomfortable.
She also chose to play a song about 'danger and burning' at his funeral, despite the circumstances of his death.
Former friend Lisa Mickel said: 'Normally songs played at funerals would enhance memories of loving times and an emotional time but Red Light Spells Danger by Billy Ocean was a song choice which felt a little unusual.'
