“if there’s a Netflix slapped-together 12-part Twitter Death Knell series I’ll be right there in the trough, lapping it up.” Just tell me what to bring, Margaret, and I’ll be right there with you -- I know of a recipe for Schadenfreude Pie, which might be just the thing.
I want more of “I Am A Killer”-like things that give criminals the ability to gently hoist themselves with their own petards. (Also can’t wait to hear what SDB and EB say about the latest season.) I’d like more focus on women who have committed crimes, and whether the judicial system in any country has treated them fairly. I’d like less focus on lying liars who lie (Casey Anthony) and more focus on cold cases. I’d like legal fees capped in high-visibility cases, and that would include what the prosecution could spend on exhibits and experts against indigent defendants. I’d like better training for police in how to deal with domestic violence, and how to deal with unconscious bias. I’d also like drug legalization because the war on drugs is a waste of time and energy. And I’d like a really good show about all the murdered women in Mexico. Since I’ve been an extraordinarily good girl this year, I also expect ALL this to come true!😉
Always hoping for more properties (in order of preference: books, longform articles, tv docuseries, podcasts, films) about coercive control domestic relationships & high control groups such as cults & religions. Particularly would love to see something that does a deep dive on capitalism & cults.
My other main true crime interests are family annihilation and fetal abduction. I'll always consume anything on those topics.
I agree with all those that requested more emphasis on systemic issues and social justice questions. I really hate the documentaries that pull up some decades old cold case and spend hours dissecting every conversation anyone had about it only to say "Welp, guess we'll never know." I don't expect answers but. I do expect something of value --why aren't there answers? There are shows that could be made about pretty much any (even overwork) true crime topic. Maybe with Casey Anthony we could talk about our expectations for mothers. Or how likability plays into sentencing. Or whether pretty white women are more likely to get off easier. I think that was part of my interest in Killer Sally - yes I was unfamiliar with the case but it did talk about women who didn't die the "victim" mold and were not very sympathetic. I would like more emphasis on true crime involving POC --not in an exploitative way but many of the stories we are currently telling exist without beautiful rich white people at the center.
