Everyone knows Netflix suꦑbscribers love a bit of true crime, so it's hardly a surprise that The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker, a new addition to the platforꦯm, has jumped to the top of its UK streaming chart in just two days.

The film, which premiered on January 10, centers on the rise and fall of nomad Caleb Lawrence "Kai♏" McGillvary, who became a viral sensation back in February 2013, when he supposedly saved a woman's life after she was grabbed by the man he had been catching a ride with across California. The video, which was released by local Fox affiliate KMPH in Fresno, sees McGillvary reenact how he used a hatchet to "smash, smash, suh-mash" the man, Jeff Simmons McBride, over the head and was subsequently branded a hero by the internet.

On May 16, 2013, McGillvary was arrested and accused of killing 73-year-old lawyer Joseph Galfy in New Jersey the previous night. While McGillvary maintained that he fought off Galfy in self-defense, having allegedly been drugged and sexually assaulted by the victim while staying at his home, he was ultimately found guilty of first-degree murder and is noᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚw serving a 57-year prison sentence.

While the movie is proving to be a hit on Netflix, it doesn't seem to be going down well with the majority of viewers. Many who tuned in have taken to Twitter to slam the producers for "villainizing mental illness", and criticize the New Jersey🍰 justice system. Others called fo🍸r the documentary to be longer, so that it could've delved into his "relationship" with Galfy, his difficult childhood, and more.

"The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker is a bad d🅰ocumentary. Really, really bad," . "It could have been compelling, even meaningful. It was, at best, lazy. Gen🤪uinely disgusted by it."
