“The worst tenant in the world”: the chilling Netflix documentary series that attracts more and more viewers every day

A few days ago it was added to the Netflix catalog The Worst Tenant in the World, which has as its original title Worst Roommate Ever. From that moment on, it has become one of the most watched productions on the platform, adding millions of views every week. But what is the reason for the success of this documentary series?

The answer seems to be quite simple: it tells real stories of people who decided to rent their homes and share their space with people they didn't know, but who apparently seemed to lead normal lives. However, in the worst way they realized that they were living with the enemy.

According to the official synopsis of the production, it is “a new documentary series from Blumhouse Television that tells distressing stories of tenants — seemingly harmless — who become real nightmares for their unsuspecting victims once their malevolent and sometimes violent intentions come out to the light. These disturbing true stories tell the masked threat that may lie lurking at the end of the hall.”

The worst tenant in the world is a production that could well be seen in a few hours, since there are only five episodes of 45 minutes each. In addition, his narration is quite clear and concise, making viewers not even blink, for fear of missing some detail.

Although there are five episodes, only four stories are told of people who were in danger because of their tenants. To give you an idea, these are the titles of the different chapters: Call me, grandmother, Be careful with the quiet ones, The marathoner and Roommate Wanted, which is divided into two parts.

Murder, fraud, harassment and torture: these are just some chilling words that innocent people who decided to share their homes with K.C. Joy, Dorothea Puente, Youssef Khater and Jamison Bachman lived in their own flesh.

The success of the production has not only been noticed in the millions of views, but also in the comments by specialized critics. For example, Ready Steady Cut said in its analysis: “You will be fascinated as you see the real stories of people who have lived with strangers [...] I would be surprised if there were no more episodes or seasons coming out.”

Indeed, many viewers have asked Netflix if it is thinking about a new batch of episodes, and although for now the platform hasn't addressed the topic, the truth is that several are hoping to learn more stories about roommates that weren't who they said they were.
