Sometimes nothing is more shocking than the truth and these television dramas inspired by real events prove it. From true crime to world-shaking catastrophes and deeply personal events, TV dramas based on true stories can grip your attention like nothing else.
Some series stick to the events more closely than others - both Chernobyl and When They See Us were exhaustively researched - and can have an almost historical feel, even as they're telling the true stories of a time not that long ago. Other series, such as American Crime Story, have a heightened sense of drama. There are even drams such as Alias Grace that are more fictionalized retellings of real historical crimes.
Vote up the dark dramas based on real events that caught your attention the most.
