A fascinating documentary miniseries that sees author Jillian Lauren uncover details of the murders committed by America's most prolific serial killer, Sam Little. The mass murderer opens up to Lauren about his four-decade killing spree as she attempts to seek justice for some of those victims who were let down by the system and became cold cases. It's a slightly strange blend of investigative journalism and the psychology of a killer, but it's compelling viewing.

A different kind of true crime drama. After learning about multiple allegations of romance fraud against a Kansas man named Richard Scott Smith, the production team decided to fund a manhunt to track him down. Several women had accused Smith of fraud-type offences, and he was alleged to have stolen their identities and been married to more than one woman at a time. This is like nothing you've ever seen before, and, in the final episode, you get to hear from the man himself.
