Friends become frenemies, with deadly consequences
About Murder Among Friends
Sometimes friends aren’t friends at all and the last person to discover this sad fact is the victim of a murder. So is the premise of Murder Among Friends, which introduces viewers to a group of friends involved in the homicide of one of their own.
The motives for these murders range from jealousy, to revenge, to evil desires, and the show emphasizes salacious and creepy stories, such as those involving sex, cults, or vampirism. Episodes mostly focus on friend groups in their teens and twenties, those more likely to fall prey to groupthink.
Complete with narration, police interviews, the testimony of victims’ loved ones, and re-creations, the show is pretty standard fare for the true crime genre, with the only unique aspect being its focus on murders that happened in friend groups. If frenemies are what you’re looking for, check out Murder Among Friends.
