About
Watch it if you’re drawn to emotionally heavy true crime and want a respectful look at a modern case tied to social media; Not for you if domestic violence content upsets you, or if you prefer series like The Innocent Man or Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer.
Pros: powerful, harrowing storytelling; tense investigation; honors the victim | Cons: may feel padded early; emotionally distressing domestic violence; some want broader context
