Our Father

The most similar show to The Man With 1000 Kids, which shares a very similar story like that of the Netflix documentary, is Our Father. Our Father is also on Netflix, and when it was released was reviewed as “the most evil documentary ever.”

The show follows Jacoba Ballard, who had always wanted a sibling, but after taking a DNA test found she had a handful of them. She soon realised the common denominator with her and her half-siblings: Their mothers had all been treated by fertility doctor, Donald Cline. He had told patients he was using donor sperm, but without their consent, had actually been using his own samples.

Worst Roommate Ever is another documentary series on Netflix, filled with dark and twisty stories of people who lived with terrible, terrible housemates. And no, we’re not talking people who don’t wash up – these people lived with actual killers.

The creepy series now has two seasons available, both of which tell the stories of different people whose living situations went awfully wrong.

What Jennifer Did

via Netflix

This chilling documentary film tells the story of Jennifer Pan, a Canadian student who hired hitmen to kill her strict parents. The show uses police footage from her interviews and the court case, to show what happened from start to finish.

In November 2010 in the middle of the night, masked men raided the family home of Bich Ha Pan and Huei Hann Pan. At first it seemed as though it was burglary, when the masked men asked Jennifer’s parents to hand over all of their money. Then the case began to unravel. Why was the door to the family home unlocked? Why hadn’t the invaders taken Jennifer too? Things didn’t add up. Suspicions further arose when Hann, who had been placed into a coma, woke and said Jennifer had been whispering to the hitmen as though she knew them.
