One episode looks at a man who was advised to confess to murdering a teenage girl at the wheel of his truck whilst driving, while another follows Hamid Hayat s case of admitting to attending a terrorist camp. Fans have compared the series to other popular crime documentaries like The Keepers and Making a Murderer.

Besides…we totally know you’re going down the rabbit holes of the internet trying to figure out who the killer is before the program spoils it for us.
