I don't think it's a good idea. Netflix shows are far from reality. They aren't properly researched. They can be informative in a way but Netflix sizzles them for viewership.
My answer is a NO too. you can learn new terms/terminologies of forensic psychology but you might need other sources to understand those terms more accurately
Watching Netflix shows is not a good way to learn forensic psychology for a variety of reasons.
You cannot guarantee the accuracy of information without further research.
Even 'documentaries' on Netflix are not as well-researched nowadays.
Fictional shows tend to embellish results or shorten timelines. They will also eliminate the tedious aspects of forensic psychology including a mountain of paperwork.
Watching Netflix shows is a form of entertainment, not a valid form of educating oneself on subjects like forensic psychology.
It will also depend on how deep into the subject you want to go. You can certainly learn about some aspects of the job from true crime cases, but will definitely need to go to other sources to learn the subject in detail.
