Sit, Stay, Love

The mother suspected of murdering her three-year-old daughter. The honors student who vanished on a school trip. The family home that hid decades of torture and abuse. We read these stories in the newspapers and glimpse at the horrors behind the headlines – but the families and friends of the victims and the suspects see another side of the story; one they can never forget. Across two seasons, this gripping documentary series takes a look at some of the world’s most notorious real-life cases, but from a whole new perspective; that of the friends and families of those involved.

R Kelly’s oldest and closest friends reveal how the global megastar was able to keep his dark obsessions hidden from the public eye for so long. Psychological experts in the Ethan Couch case shed light on how the twisted mind of someone like ‘The Affluenza Teen’ works. And those who knew the Southside Slayer explain how they were able to escape becoming his next victim. For these cases and more, revealing interviews take the audience on an up-close and personal journey through what really happened – because these innocent insiders didn’t just see another side of the story. They lived it.
