Nothing quite prepares you for how chilling this series really is, writes Morgan Cormack.

when it first came out in 2017. Well, the very same case of Jan Broberg and her multiple kidnappings is getting the drama treatment in this new series and honestly, it’s a show with a difference. Unlike the documentary – which although intriguing, definitely left a lot of people questioning the role of Jan’s parents – this new series prioritises the story as told by Jan and her mother Mary Ann.

The first three episodes give us an insight into how manipulative, charming and smooth-talking Robert was. He was the friendly, caring neighbour who started off merely wanting to take Jan out horse-riding, but when Jan’s father Bob denies permission, we see the first glimpse of his nasty side rear its head.

“I want to tell my family’s story today because so many seem to think something like this could never happen to them. Especially at the hands of someone they know and trust – but it did happen. It happened to my family, it happened to me.”Best new TV shows coming out this autumn 2022: 25 series to add to your watchlist
