About
In an age of dating apps and instant connection, the search for love can carry unseen risks. Fatal First Dates tells the true stories of people who set out in search of romance and instead found themselves face to face with tragedy. Carefully reported and human-centred, each episode follows a standalone case, tracing events from the first swipe or chance meeting through a descent into manipulation, obsession and betrayal. Using dramatic reconstruction, police recordings and testimony from families, investigators and survivors, the series examines how seemingly ordinary encounters took a devastating turn.
