The latest addition to Netflix’s lineup of true-crime titles arrives on Wednesday, in the form of the 3-episode docuseries Sins of Our Mother — a release from the streamer that will very likely have viewers glued to their screens with jaws dropped the whole time.
Check out the trailer below for this series, at the heart of which is a simple yet powerful question: How does a seemingly normal woman turn into the most notorious mother in America?
Sins of Our Mother Netflix series
The official Netflix synopsis for Sins of Our Mother is as follows. “Lori Vallow was known to friends and family as a devoted mother of three, a loving wife, and a woman of God. But over the past three years, something went very wrong.”
Now, Lori is in jail, and the reason why is pretty staggering. She’s awaiting trial for conspiracy to commit murder, as well as first-degree murder, in connection with the deaths of four people. They include her fourth husband, her fifth husband’s wife, and her two youngest children.
“For the first time,” Netflix continues, “Lori’s surviving son Colby steps forward to provide exclusive insight into his family’s backstory as well as their present-tense narrative as Lori faces justice.”
