Inspired by Robert Kolker's best-selling nonfiction book of the same name Lost Girls is a gripping tale of every parent's worse nightmare brought to life.
True crime dramas have become huge in the last year but I feel a story like this will really resonate hard with parents as heartbreaking and maybe even a little too close to home.
I know there have been some missing children shows in the past that I have avoided because I felt they would be too upsetting but I think I will try episode one of Lost Girls and see how I get on.
Lost Girls hits Netflix next month on March 13.Explore more on these topics:
