Maternal Instinct, one of the latest true crime documentaries to hit the 2026 TV schedule, is one of the most messed-up stories I’ve ever heard. The doc, which you can watch right now with a Netflix subscription, has me shaken, and I usually stay pretty even-keeled when watching these kinds of movies. It’s hard to believe just how terrible people can be, and it’s a doc like this that really wakes one up to the horrors this world can produce.
