Her words are brought to life with dreamy animated sequences.
Anyone who kept a diary as a teenager will recognise the heady drama – mortifying, years later – that can be created with the liberal use of exclamation marks and some scribbled hearts. There is something desperately sad about the gulf between the interviews with these grownup, self-aware women and the gauche journal entries of their friend who would never join them. One friend describes her as “goofy” another talks about her passion.

If you were gripped by Serial (I was), it’s quite a shock to see Lee on a video clip of a local news item, talking about her lacrosse team, very alive and human, and not just an off-stage player on online forums dedicated to this case. Much of the first episode, rightly, is focused on the young woman who has seemed incidental in the attempt to discover whether or not Syed has been the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice.
But those are promised later in this four-part series. Has The Case Against Adnan Syed got any more to add? Its makers say it does, “presenting new discoveries as well as groundbreaking revelations that challenge the state’s case”. Syed was a teenager when he was convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend in 2000, although he has always said he is innocent.
The Case Against Adnan Syed (Sky Atlantic) is the latest instalment in the story of her murder. Two decades later, she continues to be the subject of what has become a true-crime franchise, brought to the world’s attention by the success of the podcast Serial. In early 1999, Lee was strangled and buried in a shallow grave in Baltimore. At this point, the authorities must have assumed that Nannie Doss was shrouded in some ancient mummy curse, because the only other explanation is that they were all terrible at their jobs.‘D o love and remember me for ever,” Hae Min Lee writes in her diary. In between her fourth and fifth marriages, she moved in with her cancer-stricken sister and poisoned her, too, because why the hell not? "Might as well kill my own mother while I'm at it," she presumably thought, before doing exactly that. She even killed her third husband's mother, just after poisoning him and burning their house to the ground to keep it from going to his family. Frank, for his part, was an abusive drunk, and Doss eventually got sick of him and dumped rat poison into his whiskey, which is a recognized but generally frowned upon cure for assholes.ĭoss got married three more times, and each husband wound up dying mysteriously. Nannie Doss stayed married to her second husband, Frank, for 16 years, during which time she probably killed her newborn grandson by stabbing him through the skull with a hatpin and definitely killed her older grandson with a generous dose of poison.
