By Carla Davis
Hulu includes plenty of engrossing true crime content, with Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini and Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer among the newest offerings. Now we have season two of a true crime series and a new docuseries to binge on Hulu.
How I Caught My Killer's second season debuted on July 23, and all ten episodes are now available to watch. In this Hulu Original series, true crime followers are treated to interviews with real participants, archival material, and reenactments of unusual murder cases. The twist is that each of these cases involves a victim who left clues, resulting in their killers' capture.
The victims range from a practicing Mennonite who disappeared from a church parking lot to a pregnant teacher to a rapper shot in his apartment. In each case, photographs, social media posts, letters, videos, and other digital clues eventually led to an arrest.
“Ultimately, the twists and turns of the investigations into these victim-solved crimes expose an awful truth in America today: our systemic failures as a nation all too frequently deny many citizens justice," states the press release.
Betrayal: A Father’s Secret (Jul. 30)
Betrayal: A Father’s Secret (Hulu Original) is a docuseries based on the popular true crime podcast of the same name. It is a different story from the one told in the ABC doc Betrayal: The Perfect Husband.
Jason and Ashley Lytton were a seemingly average Utah family happily raising their three children, but everything changed when Ashley discovered her husband, a beloved football coach and well-respected electrician, was found to have sexually explicit material of children ages 8 to 15 on his computer, per ABC News.
Jason was accused of over 100 counts of sexual exploitation. Ultimately, ABC News states that Jason took a plea deal and was "found guilty on one of the sexual exploitation charges and the two voyeurism charges, while the rest were dismissed with prejudice."
Betrayal: A Father’s Secret is really about Ashley's side of the story and how she tried to protect her children from the details of Jason’s crimes while also struggling to come to terms with the horrific revelations about her husband.
