This week, Saturday Night Live delivered another laugh-out-loud sketch with their playful take on the obsession many have with true crime shows. If you tuned in, you might have felt like the performers were poking fun directly at you. The skit features SNL’s female cast members singing about their guilty pleasure of binge-watching documentaries centered around serial killers—definitely not your typical relaxing pastime!
With popular titles like Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel and Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, it’s no wonder that the sketch resonated so deeply with viewers. It captures the essence of a shared experience: curling up on the couch with a true crime documentary while juggling daily chores.
In this musical number, Kate McKinnon, Melissa Villaseñor, Ego Nwodim, and Chloe Fineman express their love for these chilling tales. After saying goodbye to her boyfriend, Fineman relishes her alone time, ready to indulge in hours of murder mysteries. McKinnon humorously notes, “A body builder chopped an old lady,” while multitasking with her phone. Fineman adds her own anecdote, saying she watched a documentary about a cheerleader’s head discovered in a coal mine while managing her taxes online.
The sketch cleverly highlights how once you start watching, it’s hard to stop. The ladies harmonize about diving deeper into the world of true crime, often following up a show with a related podcast like Making a Murderer.
I thought my husband and I were unique in our nightly ritual of drifting off to sleep to the sound of murder-themed shows, but it seems we are far from alone. The true crime genre has captivated many, with endless options available on platforms like Netflix, HBO, and Hulu.
When Fineman’s boyfriend, played by Nick Jonas, returns, he tries to introduce her to the allure of cult documentaries, humorously portraying NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. Villaseñor attempts to lighten the mood with her own preference for baking shows, but let’s be real—murder mysteries reign supreme in our hearts this past year.
