Looking at a photo of Jill Dando, you’d be forgiven for mistaking her for Princess Diana. Both beloved public figures have the same cut of blonde hair and exude the same girl-next-door warmth. Still like Diana, Jill was suddenly killed in the ‘90s and left in her wake a string of conspiracy theories surrounding her death. This docuseries from Netflix examines those speculations, along with official investigations, and invites us to ask why, despite an abundance of clues and advocates, the truth remains hidden after all these years. It’s a compelling, respectful, and well-made show that humanizes Jill and dramatizes her death in equal measure. And like any true crime series worth your time, it also reveals how slow real cases outside of film and TV actually move. It’s frustrating and heartbreaking, but also quite enlightening. You don’t have to know much about Jill to be gripped by the series, although you do wind up caring about her and the development of the case by the end of it.

The creepy way that Jill almost foreshadows her death on TV is something you’ll end up thinking about long after watching the series. As the host of the show Crimewatchers, she would present unsolved cases and invite viewers to call in any tips they might have. In one clip, an audience member asks if she ever gets scared of the crimes happening to her, to which she replies, “Well, it’s not something you walk out into the street and think, ‘Oh, my gosh, the same thing’s gonna happen to me.’” In an ironic twist of fate, it did happen to her. Her death would be featured on the same show, and she would become one of the people she’d talk about at length.
