Confronting a Serial Killer is the new series on The Starz App that people can’t stop talking about (or watching). This dark and astonishingly true story about the complex and bizarre relationship between an author and a prolific serial killer is almost too insane to believe– a game changing true crime docuseries.
If you aren’t already on the edge of your seat in anticipation for its April 18th premiere, here is everything you need to know about Confronting a Serial Killer.
That said– it is hard to believe what you are seeing is real. With each twist and turn, heartbreaking interview, and chilling phone call from jail, this story is as dramatic and cinematic as many award-winning films.
As much as the series dives into the horrible history of violence at the hands of serial killer Sam Little, what is just as fascinating is his relationship with Jillian Lauren, the author who becomes obsessed with his life. It is ethically complicated, emotionally intense, and nerve wracking– just watch the trailer, and you will know the quote that made us all gasp out loud.
It is no secret that our justice system is full of countless kinds of injustice throughout history, and this series sheds a very personal light on a few of them, along with the loved ones of those affected.
The complicated, bizarre, intimate, and very intense relationship between literal serial killer Sam Little and author Jillian Lauren is what truly sets this story apart from your classic true-crime docs. The way Lauren’s obsession with Little carries echoes of Little’s obsessiveness is chilling in and of itself, and makes you wonder what it would take to get those close to someone who has been so violent in the past.
If you don’t believe us, just read a couple reviews– from Deadline to Rotten Tomatoes, it seems as though anyone who watches this series only has positive takes. We understand why.
