Documentaries on real crimes on Netflix have had a significant impact on the platform and in the entertainment culture in general, so it’s not surprising that one of them has positioned itself as the most-watched movie in the US.
“Lover, Stalker, Killer” is the platform’s original production that has not only entered the top 10 but also dominated the American ranking just two days after its release, according to the metrics-focused site Flix Patrol.
In this intriguing and dark documentary film, a mechanic trying the world of dating apps for the first time meets a woman who takes her romantic obsession to the limit. Here, check out everything about the new trend…
Lover, Stalker, Killer is the No. 1 movie on Netflix US
Lover, Stalker, Killer is the new Netflix documentary film, directed by Sam Hobkinson, which has become the most-watched on the platform in the United States, surpassing titles like American Assassin and Made in Italy.
According to Flix Patrol, the original streaming service production is a hybrid film, telling the story as if it were a documentary and portrayed by real actors, such as Jessica N Johnson, Katie Otten and Chris Maher.
The shocking real-life story revolves around a love triangle that shook the world in 2021, with Dave Kroupa, Liz Golyar and Cari Farver as the central figures. The plot narrates the terrible events that unfolded after the man began casually dating two women in Nebraska.
According to the scenes depicted in the film, even though Dave made it clear he wasn’t looking for anything serious, his return to the dating scene after his divorce triggered a twisted tale of stalking that ended in fire and murder.
Kroupa himself recounts what happened in the documentary, and there he can be heard saying, “I went to the back of the store (…) and cried. I was trying to go over the pieces of the puzzle and put them together… It was Liz who had been stalking me all this time”.
Undoubtedly, the number 1 production on the streaming giant brings users a new and dark perspective on this true-crime case that has shaken the lives of those involved and the entire world. With first-person interviews, the story details everything that happened from minute 0.
Where is Liz Golyar now?
Despite all the concerns of the victims, their families, and even the prosecution about everything that happened with Liz Golyar, the jury ruled that it was convinced by the evidence presented, so she was declared guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
In addition to the life sentence, which does not provide the possibility of parole, she also received a sentence of 18 to 20 years for the arson committed at her own home with her pets inside and her efforts to try to attribute the crime to Cari Farver.
As of today, she is serving her sentence at the Nebraska Center for Women’s Correctional Facility. Dave Kroupa spoke in an interview with People some time ago and confessed, “She ruined my life, as much as you can without killing me”.
What happened to Dave Kroupa?
Well, since Liz Golyar was arrested in December 2016, Dave has decided to stay in the shadows and maintain a very low profile because he confessed that he feels partly responsible for Cari Farver’s death.
In the documentary, he shared, “I don’t feel guilt-free about all of this. A lot of bad things happened to good people, all because of a series of events where I’m at the center. The woman I dated had goals, was smiley, and wanted to do something. She was just trying to make her way in this world. I regret a lot what happened”.
The mechanic still lives in Nebraska and has found love again. He is currently dating Margie Hover, and during an interview with People, she assured that everything that happened with the love triangle continues to haunt her boyfriend’s mind.
