Un matrimonio mortal en Carolina del Norte

After his wife dies, Jason Corbett falls for his American au pair, Molly Martens. The couple marries and moves to the States with his kids, Jack and Sarah. A disturbing 999 call alerts the police to the tragedy of Jason's death; he'd been brutally killed. Molly claims self-defence, along with her father, Thomas.

This is one of those jaw-dropping, real-life true crimes. A decade on, it still shocks me. What a miscarriage of justice. The overturning of the decision was a joke.

It almost made me vomit listening to Thomas and Molly Martens; just vile. What was done to Jason was simply an act of evil; what was done to those children was sick. Hopefully, his murderers are haunted by sleepless nights.

I didn't believe a single word that came out of Molly's mouth, her body language truly told the story of someone who was lying. She's clearly her father's daughter. He made me feel so uncomfortable.

Not enough was made of the lies she told, didn't she tell her friends a pack of lies about her relationship towards Jason and the kids.

One criticism: why on earth were these two creatures given such a platform? Honestly, it's truly sickening. Crocodile tears galore, she deserves an Oscar for her performance.

Some things have changed for the better, but one thing that hasn't is the ability of a perpetrator to play the victim card.

It warms the heart to know that Jack and Sarah turned out to be such impressive human beings. I wish those two very well.

8/10.

An FBI agent who trained others to detect lies. His daughter, a model who lied for a living. And yet again, she lied, this time claiming her husband abused her. How do you verify such a claim? By trusting the liars.

I was genuinely disturbed by how convincingly she played the victim. Having known people like this in real life, those who lie so thoroughly they start to believe it themselves, this hit especially hard. It's a chilling reminder of how dangerous manipulation can be.

Surprisingly solid work from Netflix, especially given their recent track record with documentaries. And thank God it wasn't dragged out into three unnecessary episodes.

This was a difficult watch and I feel so much for Jack and Sarah. They should feel some comfort knowing they did all they could to restore their Father's reputation and they did him proud. Quite early on, the one thing that became apparent to me was that Molly was only interested in having those children. Alarm bells are ringing, and this movie adequately supported the evidence of a manipulative, messed up girl masquerading as a stable mother figure.

In terms of the arguments about asthma death, I am an asthmatic, and I have woken in the middle of the night gasping, thinking I might die. To say it is scary is an understatement.

This is a tragic story, even more so because manipulators do not suddenly stop manipulating. It wouldn't surprise me if someone else falls victim to Molly.

The fact they allowed 2 murderers and a lawyer lie over and over again is disgraceful. It s very obvious she manipulated thise kids. Even in the videos of her with the kids she bullies him about crying.

The american justice system is ridiculous if it thinks those 2 are innocent. This film is heartbreaking and shows what damage can be done by a poor system.

The heartbreaking of the kids especially the daughter is overwhelming. To tell a child that both her parents are dead because of her is just pure cruelty. The film shows this so well and it's impossible to watch this and not know that a serious injustice has been carried out.

I noted that Molly was consistently calling Jack and Sarah, "my kids", causing me to scream at the TV screen, "they weren't YOUR kids!". Molly's intention is obvious in this statement. She was going to do whatever was necessary to get Sarah and Jack, even manipulating her father to be the co-executioner.

I'm still not sure of the involvement of Molly's mother. She's mentioned briefly and I kept waiting for something else to be revealed but nothing mentioned of any consequence.

It breaks your heart to watch these kids being emotionally tortured over so many years and I only hope they can find some peace in their true home in Ireland.
