Trailer For Netflix's Latest True Crime Docuseries KILLER INSIDE: THE MIND OF AARON HERNANDEZ
“No one has allegedly murdered two people and then played an entire season as a professional athlete.”
I don’t know about you, but I find myself watching and enjoying lots of the true crime documentary shows that have been released on Netflix and other streaming services. There are just a lot of fascinating and crazy crime stories to tell! Netflix continues to push the crime docuseries projects with its latest series, Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez and it certainly looks interesting.
Here’s the synopsis that was shared:
As a gifted young football athlete from Bristol, Connecticut, Aaron Hernandez had capitalized rapidly on his promise, playing for a top tier college program before being drafted into the National Football League at the age of 20. But in 2013, fresh off of a newly inked five-year, $40 million contract with the New England Patriots, Hernandez would become a household name for the most infamous murder case involving an American athlete since OJ Simpson. Hernandez’s trials for the brutal killing of Odin Lloyd and two Boston-area men yielded a Pandora’s box of secrets: a tumultuous and often abusive upbringing, a growing fascination with gang life, and other discoveries that painted a maelstrom of motivations behind his violent behavior.
While I am familiar with this story, I’m sure this doc is going to take a deep dive into what really happened and reveal things about the story that we might not have known.
The three-part documentary series also features “exclusive courtroom footage, Hernandez’s phone calls from prison, and interviews with those who knew Hernandez and Lloyd.” It also “meticulously examines the perfect storm of factors leading to the trial, conviction, and death of an athlete who seemingly had it all.”
The series from director Geno McDermott and producer Terry Leonard, who also produced the criminally underseen Professor Marston & the Wonder Women.
Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez will premiere on Netflix on January 15th.
