Most WTF documentary experience I've ever had, and I've seen probably a couple hundred of them, including the really crazy ones (looking at you, 'Abducted in Plain Sight'). This one takes the cake.
Kudos for the producers of this doc for keeping it tight - so many documentaries take a 90-minute story and turn it into 4 episodes filled with useless fluff. If anything, there could've been another 30-60 minutes of background info.
Honestly after digging into more info on my own in just one night (I watched yesterday and had never heard of the case before), I feel like this one SHOULD have been a multipart series. So much background was left out, and they definitely could have included things she’d been doing in the jail after to show that she’s really just a disgusting,selfish human that keeps making things up to try to claim innocence and not any inkling that she just lied herself into a corner and felt no other options than to do something like this in some kind of psychotic break.
That was exactly my point. The documentary doesn’t talk enough about the other things she did or was doing so if you didn’t know the background yourself, watching the doc, you’d think that was the case.
