What are your thoughts on true crime as a genre?

I have a few opinions about it that I’m happy to share but more curious about what you all think

That it needs to be narrated really well to be interesting. It teaches us a bit about how screwed people can be, maybe how to spot red flags, to reduce potential risks to become a victim by not unnecessarily putting ourselves to situations where we can be an easy prey. Of course, many are about being at the wrong place in the wrong time but I think majority I heard about targeted vulnerable people who were maybe a bit too naive and trusting or in a desperate life situation.
Personally, I much more prefer stories about strange tragic accidents than true crime. Like people falling into chimneys or getting lost in cave systems.
