A three-part true-crime docuseries, airing in its entirety, revisits the shocking case of Andrea Yates, who in 2001 drowned each of her five children in the bathtub. Diagnosed with postpartum depression and psychosis, Yates was also (as this series alleges) subjected to psychological manipulation by a religious cult led by Michael Woroniecki, which led to the direst of consequences. The special features interviews with Yates’ husband and survivors of the cult, including Woroniecki’s nephew.
