About Lethally Blonde

Lethally Blonde looks like a show about cases involving blonde murderers, but in actuality, not all of the killers in its episodes are blonde, and not all of the episodes focus on the murderer. All of the cases, however, feature victims or killers who worked in the adult entertainment industry, from pornography and Only Fans, to exotic dancing and bikini modeling, work that influenced the eventual murders that occurred.

Perhaps executive producer Holly Madison (former Playboy model and producer of The Playboy Murders) wanted to follow up that show with even more salacious stories of sex and murder. Hence the title. But if you’re looking for a show that fits the literal meaning of the title and features only killer blondes, you’ll be disappointed. Some are killers, and some are victims. Some are blonde, some aren’t.

Madison provides commentary, as in The Playboy Murders, and detectives and victim’s loved ones recount the stories of the murders, investigations, and the careers that led to the crimes.

About Sex, Lies & Murder

The tagline for this true crime series could be “the more salacious the better.” Sex, Lies & Murder concentrates on homicides with a sexual component to the story, sometimes merely sex-adjacent. It plays up the sexual aspect of murder cases even when it has nothing to do with the murder itself, and the stock group of experts dive right in. The show includes many cases covered in other series, but emphasizes the sex-related elements more to give the title its worth.

Cases involve love triangles, strippers, porn stars, child custody, jealousy, affairs, and more, described by the investigators who worked on the cases, along with experts, most notably crime writer and investigative journalist M. William Phelps, who appears in almost all of the episodes. He is joined by local reporters and other crime writers and specialists.

Very few episodes bring in victims’ loved ones, but they often include defense attorneys (unlike many other shows), who provide an alternative perspective.
