Now and again, there is a series that nearly everyone becomes obsessed with, and this month it looks like the streaming service Hulu has got everyone talking.

The Well, which contains six episodes, delves into one of California's most disturbing criminal investigations.

The series focuses on the notorious killers, Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine, also known as the 'Speed Freak Killers', and the ongoing efforts to uncover the truth behind more than 200 unsolved murders in California's San Joaquin County.

At the centre of the documentary is a newly established cold case unit led by Lieutenant Linda Jimenez. The team is determined to bring answers to families who have spent decades waiting to learn what happened to their missing loved ones.

As part of their investigation, detectives turned to convicted serial killer Wesley Shermantine, whose mysterious hand-drawn maps could contain vital clues about where victims' remains were buried.

Wesley reportedly died on death row earlier this year, while Herzog took his own life in 2012. Although the pair were originally convicted in connection with four murders, three of which they committed together, investigators have long suspected they were responsible for many more deaths.

Produced by Fox Entertainment Studios, Mountain Top Pictures, Haven Entertainment and Fairvale Entertainment, The Well takes viewers inside the renewed investigation as detectives search for long-buried evidence and attempt to bring closure to grieving families.

The Well is now available on Hulu, offering a chilling look at a decades-old case and the relentless pursuit of answers for victims whose stories remain untold.
