The five-episode series tells the timely story of the unprecedented relationship between acclaimed New York Times best-selling author and memoirist Jillian Lauren (‘Some Girls: My Life in a Harem’) and the most prolific serial killer in American history, Samuel Little, and her race against time to identify his victims before it’s too late (Little recently died in prison at the age of 80, after having avoided justice for his crimes for decades). Lauren uncovers Little’s darkest secrets and aids law enforcement in solving a multitude of cold case murders while struggling to reconcile her own history of addiction and abuse with her present-day mission to return the identities of previously nameless bodies and forgotten women. As she slips deeper into his sordid world, Jillian realizes that she may become, psychologically, Little’s last victim.
Through the perspectives of Lauren, as well as several female members of law enforcement, multiple investigators, survivors and victims’ family members, “Confronting a Serial Killer” shines a light on systemic issues within the criminal justice system including bias against marginalized communities, particularly women of color, and those struggling with addiction, mental illness, and trauma.
She literally finds away to make the whole show about herself. It was so annoying I couldn't watch more than 2 episodes.
Gross. Thank you for saving my time.
Everything must revolve around her…
Yeah thanks for letting us know is sucked. She seems annoying from the trailer alone
She's writing a book on him like somebody else said she didn't direct it herself, I will fully admit to falling asleep every episode and I think it's to get the book sales up. So, I don't disagree.
Exactly.
This lady is so un likable to me. She says she wants to share others stories but, found myself EP 1 talking about her and her privileged family too much. I was just over it.
The interviewer woman too full of herself😒
I tried to watch this series but 90% of the show is this lady talking about herself. She is trying to piggy back off these victims and this killer for her own ego/clout feeding off something
That is what it looks like in the trailer, thank you for confirming it so i don't even bother watching
Yea. I just started it today. Couldn't even finish the 1st episode. Its soooo bad. She won't shut the fuck up about herself.
So this has nothing to do with a serial killer but rather the author herself and "marginalized" women of course
it looks like both bud. you think sam little is going to put out the doc himself? lol
Serial killers deserve to be forgotten. The victims are the ones that should be remembered.
@sandra caraveo
Why the fuck would you befriend Samuel Little
100% all about the author , trying to be someone
@@wikipediaintellectual7088
She told someone in another thread that her brother was killed on Christmas Day
I guess since her brother wasn’t around to go upside her head every time she did something creepy and stupid, she just went right off the into the deep end of the dipshīt pool
Technically the series is about her. It's about what she went through to get the story. The series was never meant to be about him.
Am on episode 1 but I think I will stop here . If it all gonna be about ber
Yeah I stopped it during the first episode. Its horrible ugh
I literally just did my criminal case project in my law and justice class on him his story and criminal timeline is horrifying. It really shows the shithole of a system we had back then and still especially in the south.
@sandra caraveo Sounds like you also want attention.
I agree. This guy lived only 3 or 4 blocks away from my house when I was a kid. He's from the same home town as I. There's a lot to be said about this evil dog.
Yeah, it's mostly just the South. The same part of the country that finally caught Ted Bundy after Washington, Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon let him run wild.
Obviously you know nothing about the south
I thought he confessed to a park ranger?
Her kids are too CUTE!!! Omg what awesome kids!
Who's seen it? It seems gratuitous...?
Serial killers should be scorned not fetishised.
just watch the show, don't listen to groupthinkers, think for yourself, it does not glorify the monster, it gives voice to the victims
Aye stop showing me commercials for this shit when im trynna go to sleep wtf 🤬🤌🏾
If she was smart she’ll have all her content uploaded on her UA-cam channel
I mean…she acts like she is the only
One who he drew pics for. Sorry lady he drew those IN PRISON for the cops. Which apparently she thinks she knows more than the detectives
Who actually caught this
Guy. This series was so cringe I couldn’t handle it. She even brought her old books up that she wrote so she could advertise those.
Mind Bottling…..? Really? Is she making a blades of glory reference? Sounded like she said mind bottling to me but the CC says “boggling” but I’m not buying it.
and why in the hell would she go to
These families
To “interview” them and bring up old
Trauma and reopen that wound??? For what???? You literally just re traumatized the families
Of these victims and exploited their pain for her own gain. She should
Be ashamed of herself. And if u didn’t know her husband was a drummer from Weezer….you will be reminded the whole film and she even brings out his old CDs. Girl bye Weezer
Was cool maybe 20 years ago. Disgusting
She’s hot
Nooo she's not!!! Lol she looks like big bird.
It's all fake duh
Absolute crap documentary , it's more about the host , not worth the time of day ,
I felt the same way
Nothing more than hours of a woman whining
He should of made her one of his victims & we wouldn’t of watched this documentary
So trueeeee, I tried watching this damn thing and all I heard was " I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I, ME,ME,MEMEMEMEMEMEMEME, IM,IM,IM,IM,IM,IM,IM,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEEMEMEMEMEM,IMIMIMIMIMIMIMIM) This lady is a vampire feeding off the attention around this killer and the victims
Yep I just tried to watch it and came to same conclusion , turned it off.
I can’t help but wonder I’d he was making most of these stories up and this woman fed him details that he just went with.
She really did make this all about herself. maybe I was paying a little bit more attention in the third episode, because I know I heard her say the word "I" a thousand times. Her annoying self-centered behavior is what initially prompted me to go to Google to do a review on this show giving it a one-star as well as my thoughts on the entire thing, ended up here. When I saw her oldest boy who already seems to be a little flamboyant, painting her fingernails, I was like this chick is doing way too much. Honestly I really struggled as to whether I wanted to continue watching it or not.
Thank you for this comment. Honestly I was about to watch the show but I was first let me check the trailer. Idk, i took me one look and 5 seconds of herself talking to be "hmm maybe this is going to suck, i got a bad feeling about this "Documentary" , so thanks for saving me the time.
@@fungus_am0nguz644 Your Welcome
It takes a lot of ego, to make youself the main character and the narrarator at the same time, instead of the killer himself. It's not that bad of a watch, but it is essentially an ad for herself, I bet she has a plan to launch a series of books, signing events and tv appearances.
Are we not gonna talk about how that lady said mind bottling?
You know ....like when your thoughts are trapped in a bottle?
@@JackTheJackedUpJag That movie is so dumb. I love it.
@@StacheBigote me too!!! I saw the ad on another video and had to look it up and see if she actually said "bottle" and the first comment I see is yours 😂😂
So glad it wasn’t just me who hunted this trailer down to verify just how mind-bottling this case was 😂
Serial Killer Documentary turnt Author Bio. FLOP
This could have been so much better. However, the host/journalist made this all about her. No one cares if you were an ex junkie. This isn't your story.
If it was not for her they would have known about 3 .I don't know where you get the idea that she is acting like its all about her .Gosh why are people just so Evil .That was not nice at all to say to her I think more people need to be like her and less of you .I think your talking about her because you have no intelligent thing to add. Because you need some attention. Ahh poor little baby
@@mariajohn9873 reading your comment gave me an aneurysm. Correct your spelling please.
@@mariajohn9873 here comes the sisterhood to defend the strong independent whaman. Lol 😂
@@mariajohn9873 ok, I’m going to be mean. What the heck is up with your comment? Not with what you are saying, but how you are saying it. Weird spacing between words and punctuation, odd capitalization, off kilter short sentences... it reads very erratic...
I'm not at all surprised at the comments in here about her making it about herself. through a place I used to work at, I wound up hearing one of their calls in its entirety. I say 'call' because you could hardly count it as an 'interview'...
I can imagine they just used scrap pieces out of their interactions for this series, because most of it was both of them flagrantly flirting with each other in a way that only a man with a 90+ body count could get off on. she was extremely psychologically manipulative throughout, her version of building a rapport was basically pretending to be his girlfriend and going along with him claiming her as his property in a way that was terrifying despite him being behind bars. I really can't express just how disturbing the whole conversation was. we dealt with a lot of serious evidence like police interviews with murderers and 911 calls, but this one always stuck out for me.
Jesus. “Takes one to catch one I guess.”
His description of how he strangled women to death was especially chilling.Completely non-chalant and indifferent.
Yeah her comment on him having the advantage of not dying alone for to me
When she said, he drew these pictures for me…. Super creepy how much she seems to enjoy her interactions with this demon.
Yes and if she didn't then he would of still bring in denial. FBI does the same but because their predominantly make they are given the name of mind hunters. But they had to pretend to love hearing about rapimg women or pretend to want to secretly take women. Just to get into their minds. But again because she's a woman we turn it on her.
she said "mind-bottling"..note to others the word is "mindboggling" so you dont make the same mistake.
she really made the whole thing about herself lol.
She didn’t direct it…
She’s a serial killer
Yeah, so that you'll buy the book for more of his details I guess.
It’s called confronting a serial killer. There are a shit ton of Docs about Sam Little out there. Why write a book if you’re going to do a documentary with all your findings?
@Frederic Courtin Huh??
I should not have been laughing reading these comments. Scroll below and you most likely will as well. Apparently the lady that filmed this is egotistical as hell.
I couldn’t get past the first five minutes of listening to that woman! I think it would’ve been a good Series if not for her
Ya'll are out here saying how much you didn't like the show while I'm trying to find the song there's a little snippet of at the very end of the trailer lmao
“Talking In Your Sleep” by ADONA. It’s a cover of a song by The Romantics.
I came away from this series wondering if this was about Sam Little...OR THE AUTHOR!!It was sickening how this lady made alot of this about her.I mean an in depth look into the victims and a deeper probe into Little would have been nice.Instead,this woman decides to clout chase on the coat tails of a serial killer and his victims.
Oh and she's a HORRIBLE actor as well.
I agree
Agreed
Watch the original documentary on UA-cam. It is so much better than this mess
@@shaunanacole thank you for recommending!! What is it called??
@@hellsbelle7533 "The 93 Victims of Samuel Little"
AND ….. violence against woman in THIS country?? Women in African countries, women in Muslim countries, women in Mexico….. to name a few….. some of them are killed if they’re raped, stoned to death. So many countries where women never report rape because they risk the likely occurrence of cases not even looked at and women are frowned upon for even attempting to get justice. I have done a lot of volunteer work and this country’s women have so much more freedom and way more protection. We still have a ridiculously high number of things we NEED to improve for victims and cases. We have millions of human beings living here and some of them are evil. The courts and justice system need help!
Acting as if our country is anywhere similar to those country’s pre mentioned here makes it clear that you don’t know about most of the women’s lives on our planet that live in those countries. Yes, our system needs help , we also live in a country that offers the best quality of life for women.
i wish i could like this comment more than once
I remember one time he was arrested in Louis, Missouri, for “intent to ravish rape” even though the victim completely proved her claim and location and he only served 3 MONTHS. Then in 82’ after shoplifting in Pascagoula, Mississippi, police described him as matching the suspect of Melinda Rose Lapree’s murder. He got charged and the grand jury declined to indict him. Right after he is charged with the rape and murder of Patricia Ann Mount in Gainesville, Florida. She was found naked, covered in bruises and lying face up. After deliberating for less than a half hour jurors acquitted him of all charges and he was a free man once again. This is not even a fraction of all the demonic acts he committed I’ll be the first to watch this.
Wtf
Wait I'm confused, is she saying that she's the one who had Little start drawing the victim's portraits specifically for her?? Was she only communicating with him through the phone? And when exactly did this whole thing start?? I'm not going to bother watching the show because people say apparently she's making it about herself and I also don't know where to watch it.
I think she visited him in person bit I don't know. Full disclosure, I fell asleep every episode.
No she didn't. An amazing Texas Ranger was actually the one who spoke to him on a regular basis and devolved a friendship with him to get him to open up. This version is a joke and should not be taken seriously. "The 93 Victoms of Samuel Little" on Hulu...absolutely worth it!!
No she also spoke to him in prison on a regular basis.Was communication both by phone and in person.
@@jadefrancescaepperson3124 She did regularly
She didn't ask him to draw the victims he just did and sent them to her.
does anyone know the name of the back round instrumental song or music that is playing?? thanks
“Talking In Your Sleep” by ADONA.
This lady has a wierd infatuation with that piece of shit and I feel like it's not about the victims at all more so like an obsession with bondage
Complete ignorance to still be spending so much energy on a killer who is dead while so many are on the lose and these cases need attention so people stop getting killed. She and the retired detectives are not saving people but give way to their obsession about THIS case. Selfish!
Your comment is ignorance. Tax payers don't contribute to documentaries, and film makers have nothing to do with open and ongoing investigations. Whether or not they make a film about a former serial killer as no bearing on finding those who are still killing. No lives are saved either way.
@@ericksantos4555 Jillian Lauren thinks she is an investigator 🤔
I don't like this woman, but has it occurred to you that these cold cases need to be solved? The importance of this for several reasons?
Did you say “mind bottling”?
I’ll watch just about any true crime but this was total garbage
Wow. Was going to watch this but the comment section makes not want to now. The author sounds like she's saying fake things? I always thought Sam Little just spoke to that one officer about all his killings.
It’s disgusting that this documentary made it about race. There were woman. Human beings. As if one victim is more important than another because of skin color. It’s a serial killer!! How dare she take away from the victims.
The two women that lived didn’t get as much investigating weren’t taken as seriously and Mindy’s case was taken seriously, it was a murder….THAT is why they took the case so seriously. It wasn’t their skin color. Their occupation is a much bigger deal to them. Assault- no murder vs murder. Murder is a larger deal. Prostitutes aren’t treated the same as people unfortunately7
Mjj
of course the skin colour may have been a factor. This depending on the state, the period, whether it was the police, prosecutors, the jury and the judge. It's a reality, racism existed and exists. They're not being racist by raising this issue. Now go wrap yourself in cotton wool, and get back in your cocoon.
There has already been an amazing documentary done on him last year and it was way better then than these previews look
Where do you find that documentary at? Sounds interesting, I was left wanting to know more about Sam.
@@jadefrancescaepperson3124 The 93 Victims of Samuel Little on Hulu!! A must watch and way better than that trash. I haven't even watched it but I could tell by the previews it was trash and not near as good as the original.
I am sure there is truth to the idea that marginalized people, like homeless people, get less investigative enthusiasm. But I it serves the larger society little to blame his killing on race. His black victims were likely chosen by him because they were accessible not due to the color of their skin per se. He hunted them where he was comfortable and could operate undetected. That's what fiends do.
There are massive disparities in attention given to certain victims. Take a look at the MMIW (murdered and missing indigenous women). The rates are staggering and too often families are left to search for lost love ones with no help from law enforcement whatsoever.
@@linden5165 that’s all propaganda….get real
Legalizing prostitution like in Amsterdam could help eliminate disease and murder. Seems like a common sense solution to this never ending dead hooker situation.
That wouldn’t solve anything. They don’t kill because they aren’t getting laid enough. They kill because they are sadists and often hate women. Sex workers are the easiest targets. Police don’t investigate their disappearances.
Really terribly done, tone wrong, host unprofessional and fake hungry. What was wrong with the director not realizing this? She really dropped the ball.🤦♀️
*Will Farrell in Blades of Glory*
"Yes, *_mind-bottling_* like when your thoughts are trapped like
in a *bottle* ."
-you're welcome-
_almost as hilarious as ricky from trailer park boys_
Didn't watch the movie. Serial killers: John Gacy, Jack the ripper, Bruce MacArthur, Jeffrey Dahmer, Isreal, Golden State, Klemper, Ted Bundy. Most serial killers are hard to capture, but authorities probably didn't care about the capture of Sam Little's 93 victims since the majority of them were women of color. All serial killers are horrible. I don't know why they report it on TV to give people ideas. I hope the FBI and professionals develop techniques to capture without a lot of publizied advertising.✌️
Just Curious as to where the Profits Made from the Book will be Going!?
I've watched 1,5 episode
And I am amazed how this " interviewer " keeps saying: " I try to understand why,how,😭😭😭😭"
You've been adicted to the devil 's Juice.
You've probrebly dobe things that could not see the Light off Day
You've been abused,you have abused
And still you dont understand
Get real
And the money you earned with this, give it all away
Every last cent off it
Good trailer, but too bad every one is saying she made it entirely about her.
The sad reality there are more people out there dead maybe he’s killed more
Dang!! Reading all of the comments, about this woman (the journalist I presume) and about how self absorbed and overall, just kinda cringy, she is...has now made me want to watch this documentary even more than before!! Cause now I'm just too curious! lol
She somehow finds a way to make herself more unlikable than the serial killer, truly self absorbed, narcissistic and cringeworthy.
Don't Read The Comments. It's wall to wall gynophobia. #Sexism #Misogyny
1.14 if he wasn't locked up, and i was her, heck nah would i be dead by then, he got nothing, u don't know, until u know 🐰🃏
Just finished episode 1, it's really good. Well worth a watch.
I'm a residential school surviver and I appreciate how you identified with the women he murdered and victimised. I've said many times that there is a war happening on this planet that has been from the beginning of time and that's the war of men against women. We are raised and taught to even hate each other. We have to sister up to stop this so flippant attitude most have when it comes to most victims. Blaming the victim has to stop. It's a beginning to us crawling out of the dark ages.
Women murderers account for 12% of arrests.slrd are murder victims 3 x as much as females.
If you have been the victim of female assault your experience will likely tell you the same thing as statistics ... women commit acts 1: of life threatening violence for the same reasons as most male perps ... jealousy, revenge, rejection, seperation
Unfortunately often when police intervention or requested they automatically assume the male is the instigator. Twice I was slammed against a wall while cop " consoled" my wife. She thought I was unfaithful though at those times I was not. Eventually I was.l figured I had paid in advance. Eventually a false Officer read the situation for what it was and under threat of arrest we had to attend very tough groups/partners counseling for 12 weeks, 3 nights a week for 2.5 to 3 hours a night. No more fending off a woman with a knife in her hands In fact we are still together.Counseling done right is painful and embarrassing. Getting open and honest after years of little deceptions took the first 6 weeks with lots of screaming, crying and anger. Staff were teams, one professional and one para professional.
The fight is rather new, only as old as Patriarchy [a few thousand years].
I can’t get passed “mind bottling.”
Yukky bird
Did you just say "mind-bottling?"
Anyone know the name of the song at the end? I heard the lyrics “I hear the secrets that you keep”
I think it’s secrets by the weekend. I think they just had a girl sing it in a creepy way.
@@lolomigraine8242 google returned the original Romantics song that he covered. But if it’s another woman covering either of those versions I can’t seem to find it. Maybe it was recorded specifically for this?

@@covenator190 she sure does. Its horrible
Its not on my tv
I have the Starz app and I can't get it either. I don't think it's out yet
Literally she makes this show all about her. Skip it. Trust me. Waste of time. She likes to promote her husbands Album since he is a drummer for Weezer and then just talks about herself and all the books she wrote. It’s disgusting.
Right I came here to say this. She even finds a way to
Open an old box which just happened to have his old CDs and new ones, along w her books she has written. This whole series was to promote her book sales and her husbands band, which hasn’t had a hit in 20 years.
SERIAL KILLER FAKE.
The show is about the women he killed. The show is about the women he almost killed. The show is about injustice and violence toward women. She is a women who overcame addiction and a violent relationship. It is a story about her getting her life back. It is a story about closure for some people. Laurie Barros’s confrontation with the prosecuting attorney for her case was phenomenal and right on.
Seems as if she used her womanly charm and flirtatiously finessed Sam out of a confession, getting him to talk. "I didn't set out to solve a murder", she says. I was like get off of your high horse. Detectives and police officers do this every day all day, they say what happened, shake a few hands, maybe get a medal or an commendation and move on.
Song name? She says "I hear the secrets that you keep" at the end.
Probably a slowed down cover of “Talking in your Sleep” by the Romantics.

@@tristinblades1970 IF YOU SAY SO. 😂
I saw this series. It was intense. So happy for her that she got the confessions, and now he’s dead and she can live her life.
Did anyone figure out what was the movie he was influenced by as a child? The woman with the boa and it strangles her? The only thing I came up with was indian tomb. Which led me down a rabbit hole of budd boetticher and other civil war/western and leatherstocking films lol.
Most docs focus on the predator and this one shines a light on the ugly truth. I can look past her talking about herself because if that makes her a better person and help others I don’t see the issue. Too many exploit others at their expense and she told the victims story! She could have been one of his victims and has a similar past so ofc she can relate to the victims.
But why does she have to repeat it every 5 minutes? Just annoying
I don’t see how this series was any different than how the detectives were on the night stalker. They talked about their lives as well and how that LA detective is a bulldog. The egos were in both but since it’s a woman’s point of view there is a issue.. If a man did this series y’all would ❤️ it.
I noticed that too. On the Night Slalker Doc on Netflix. The Detectives seemed to Be Showcased Alot Throughout the Series, Lots of Screentime for them.
@@christisrisen6774 Rite. It wasn't a very good doc either but still better than this trash
So she asks him about his upbringing, and he claims he was sexually abused. She then writes some very insensitive, non empathetic remarks about it. Yet she claims she was abused, which drove her to drugs and selling herself for sex. The parallels are remarkable, if not inverted, but there's also a degree of hypocrisy here. Because he 'became' a serial killer of women, many drug induced sex workers, doesn't mean you should glaze over the trauma he experienced prior. It's clear she doesn't care, she just cares about herself and chasing the dollar... just like a druggo whore would.
