Killing for Love

2018TV-MAEnglish1 Season

Obsessed young lovers, heinous murders, a sensational trial, and a shocking miscarriage of justice. KILLING FOR LOVE is a riveting dissection of the 1985 courtroom battle that played out on television, and its disturbing aftermath. Convicted of brutally murdering his girlfriend’s parents, Jens Soering has been in prison for over 30 years. The series reveals for the first time the mounting evidence of his innocence. Highly cinematic in the way of The Staircase, as suspenseful as Serial, and as confounding as Making of a Murderer, KILLING FOR LOVE is your next true crime binge.

One of those series..where you back up to catch everything said again & again if you 1/2 watch like me. Enjoyed. What a crime for Jens & wonder what Haysom's siblings think of her now.

Absolutely BRILLIANT film! So much so, I have agreed to watch it all over again with my husband, who had not yet had a chance to see it. My heart is absolutely broken for Jens, and The Haysoms. Absolutely tragic, in every way imaginable.
