Oxygen True Crime’s “Building Bad” continues its exploration of criminal ingenuity, examining the ever-evolving methods used by lawbreakers to outsmart authorities. This Monday’s episode offers a two-for-one look at innovative criminal enterprises, from the depths of the ocean to the streets of Canada.
First up: narco-submarines. The episode features the groundbreaking capture of a cocaine-laden sub in 2019, a testament to the lengths drug traffickers will go to in order to move their product. Then, the show shifts gears to examine the largest car theft bust in Canadian history, revealing the sophisticated network behind this massive operation.
“Building Bad” isn’t just about the crimes themselves; it’s about the thinking behind them. The series explores the science and invention that fuel these illegal activities, offering a look at the constant cat-and-mouse game between criminals and law enforcement. From Italian Mafia assassination drones (featured in a previous episode) to Pablo Escobar’s elaborate escape routes, the series has covered a wide range of criminal innovation.
Tune in to Oxygen True Crime on Monday, April 21st at 12:00 AM ET for a fascinating, if unsettling, look at the dark side of innovation.
