About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a measured true-crime documentary that digs into digital communication, mental health, and legal responsibility, similar to The Keepers or The Pharmacist; Not for you if suicide-focused stories are too distressing.
Pros: nuanced look at case; thought-provoking legal questions; lots of context | Cons: heavy suicide-related content; some confusing timeline jumps; limited perspective on one side
