Love triangles turn deadly
About Fatal Affairs
Someone in a couple is having an affair. Not unusual, but in these forbidden stories, three’s a crowd turns to murder.
Fatal Affairs focuses on the three people in a love triangle as the main players in homicides. The mystery in its episodes is not just who the killer is, but who the victim is. Often, jealousy is involved, as so often happens with affairs. Or maybe someone needs to get rid of an annoying problem the affair has created in their life, such as a surprise pregnancy or threats of their lover revealing the affair to their spouse. Inexplicably, these cheaters decide murder is the answer.
Fatal Affairs takes the-spouse-did-it stories to the next level, offering a more complex equation: Is the killer the spouse, the girlfriend or boyfriend, or the person being cheated on? The answer depends on the tangled story of each case, and episodes unravel each murder, incorporating commentary by psychologists on the motivations behind the affairs and murders.
