What about the people they left behind? The mothers who raised them, the children who bear their names, the siblings who once shared bedtime secrets. Netflix’s Adolescence, Paramount+’s Happy Face, and a string of recent documentaries expose the unseen collateral damage of crime: the families of murderers who are left to pick up the pieces.
