It was just about her, she needed an audience to cry to

This documentary is really just about the author. She just talks about herself most of the time. So unless you want to know about the life of Jillian Lauren then I suggest you watch a different documentary. One about Sam Little and his victims perhaps.

The material is fascinating as it is exceptional: the most prolific serial killer in the United States who went undiscovered for decades, confiding in a woman he barely knows. And her total commitment in listening to him. Years of daily calls, weekly visits, and we watch Jillian's obsession to identify Sam Little's victims, compromises her quality of life. The solace she brings families is an open ear, the killer's name and a chance to chose their loved ones case. Jillian's insight into Sam is simple and familiar. Neglect, abuse, predisposition and learning his way through the world from corrupt reformatory schools. Her relationship with him a bizarre courtship, he woos her with details of murders, and she lets him express his thoughts and feelings. Jillian elicits pathos from the viewer. While trying to understand Little, and a society violent towards women, her personal experience and identification with the victims, clouds the narrative. Is racism and sexism is to blame for the cold cases of marginalized women? There's no other exploration. Serial killers only perceived to be white men; Crime waves of the 80's-90's; difficulty finding leads when two strangers have a chance meeting. And the truth of Little's victimology, he picked people society wouldn't miss because they lived in its margins. Is that victim blaming or a plain appraisal? Overall I really enjoyed the four episodes. At times I was confused by Jillian's motives, was she listening to help families heal at great personal expense, or is she a martyr channeling their pain into blame?

I loved the reality, and how the narrator engages the viewers. I felt like I was going on the journey with her and want to know more. I am looking forward to the rest of the episodes. If you like true crime, this is a show for you.
