Is true crime escaping the industry downturn?
And what of the situation in the US? Nancy Glass, CEO of Glass Entertainment Group, which makes Betrayal for ABC/Hulu, Murder in the 21st for A&E and Bitconned for Netflix, among others, says: “It is tough out there for everyone right now.

The Best Movies and TV Shows Coming to Netflix in January
By Noel Murray, NYTimes.com | Jan 3, 2024
‘Bitconned’
The collapse of big-time cryptocurrency exchanges like FTX grab a lot of headlines, but these are far from the only crypto businesses that have misled investors into losing fortunes. The documentary “Bitconned” tracks the rise and fall of Centra Tech, a company that promised — dubiously, in retrospect — to make crypto assets accessible via a debit card. Directed by Bryan Storkel (best-known for the quirky docs “The Pez Outlaw” and “The Bad Boy of Bowling”), the film is anchored by extensive interviews with the Centra Tech masterminds, as well as with some of the journalists who figured out early that something was fishy here. The details of the story are at once amusing and alarming, involving easily persuaded celebrity spokespeople, phony apps engineered to demonstrate a nonexistent technology and a FOMO culture where the bold promise of quick cash drowns out common sense.
REVIEW: ‘BITCONNED’ Explores The Perils Of The Bitcoin Craze
By Charles Hartford, ButWhyTho.com | Jan 2, 2024
In 2017, the world learned about crypto-currencies and the promises of instant wealth they brought with them. Investors were eager to back promising start-ups. However, most weren’t on the level. One such company was Centra. It promised to make a debit card that would allow people to spend their cryptocurrency at any store like traditional money. The company received huge financial backing quickly. But, as BITCONNED, directed by Brian Storkel and written by Weston Currie and Jonathan Ignatius Green shows, the company was not being honest about their product or the structure of their company.

Director Bryan Storkel shifts from the teensy-potatoes story of 2022’s The Pez Outlaw to the bungalow-sized potatoes that tend to draw the attention of investigative journalists and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and turns up a saga that’s as fascinating as it is maddening.

Black Veterinarians On Hit TV Show Give 100% To Animals (and People)
By Samara Lynn, Black Enterprise
January 15, 2018
It’s a phenomenon that is “kind of like a unicorn thing,” muses Dr. Diarra Blue about African American veterinarians launching and running a thriving animal hospital. And not only do they run the Cy-Fair Animal Hospital in the Houston, Texas area, but they also are the subjects of a hit TV show on the Animal Planet channel, The Vet Life. Dr. Blue is one of the stars of the show which just kicked off its third season this weekend.
The Vet Life’s other veterinarian stars include Dr. Aubrey “AJ” Ross and Dr. Michael Lavigne. The show offers insight into the day-to-day operations of a seemingly very successful and busy veterinarian practice. These doctors are not just tending to cats and dogs either. The last seasons have shown them tending to fighting roosters, hyenas, and even a tiger. The new season opened up with a very poignant look at how the hospital is dealing with not just the thousands of animals broken, injured, and stressed by the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, but also how the doctors and staff deal with the emotions of people in the community who have suffered so much loss.

It didn’t help that her family moved around a lot, which resulted in her having to adjust to six different high schools.
“I got put down a lot,” says Caroline. “I got made fun of. It was very hard for me.”
As she struggled to fit in, it was around that time that she also developed a love for tattoos.

Loving murder shows has become as basic as avocado toast and rosé. What started with Chris Hansen’s chilling baritone on Dateline has evolved to Netflix obsessions like Making a Murderer and The Keepers and morbidly fascinating podcasts like Serial and My Favorite Murder.

Philadelphia’s Nancy Glass always thought there was a huge piece missing from the public’s understanding of the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial: the jury.
“Every single day, we broadcast from the area where all the journalists sort of camped out,” the former American Journal anchor recalled last week. “I knew about the jury. That’s the thing that bothered me. I knew that there was more to the story from day one. The public had their own reaction, but I knew that the jury was much more complex than that.”

In The Jury Speaks, a new Oxygen TV series by award-winning producer, writer, television and radio host Nancy Glass of Glass Entertainment Group, you will hear from jurors who served on some of the most high profile cases in the last two decades.
