Tyler Doupe Dread Central If you’re riveted by true crime reporting, make your way over to Netflix and check out ‘A Deadly American Marriage.’ Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba It’s a well-made documentary, even-keeled and patient in unspooling a story with many different “truths,” but like most true crime, it also follows a formula of exploitative shock value where it could tread far more carefully. May 15, 2025 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media What the film does so well is leave us feeling that even as the kids come to grips with their loss, we still don't know who was telling the truth and who was lying. May 14, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider Journalism is informative. True crime is often voyeuristic and exploitative. A Deadly American Marriage is closer to the latter than the former. May 12, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix A Deadly American Marriage does a good job of presenting both sides of this controversial case about the 2015 killing of Jason Corbett by his second wife and her father. The movie's title omits Corbett's Irish heritage, which is a big part of the story. May 10, 2025 Full Review Ed Power Irish Times ...directors Jessica Burgess and Jenny Popplewell tell Jason Corbett’s story economically, resisting the temptation to pad it out with pointless waffle.

Jordan H Molly and her father cannot act innocent to save their lives. Such psychopaths. You can easily tell they’re the kind of people who aren’t invested in other people, they’re only living for themselves. Terrible people. Terrible liars. Terrible actors. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Hayleigh P. I definitely do not think the mom and her father did this to the father. She obviously did not plant those cameras around her house for no reason, if you would open your ears and listen to the way he was talking to her he was obviously rude and trying to gaslight her and make her feel bad.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Kevin P This is one of the few ive watched and at the end still unsure............its horrible how this guy died beaten to a pulp.......I have some disbelief of the dad and wife about that night however if they are lying they are damned good at it ............you have to feel bad for those poor kids...........glad I watched this, very interesting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Jeanine A A “honest gentleman” beat his wife and she stood up. Her Papa, came to help her. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Brian D 76%. 7/7/25. Weird set of circumstances with a deranged step-mom and her dad killing her husband. The husband also had a weird background with a somewhat suspicious death to his prior wife and questions around his abuse to this lady. It seemed like he probably was abusive but the wife went too far and killed him. But leaves you with a lot of questions. Feel terrible for the kids. Solid watch, but no reason to rewatch. 2/5 rewatch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Deb P This was a very well-done documentary about a travesty of justice. It's about a lying, (proven by investigators) manipulative woman and her enabling father, who claimed that a very drunk (another lie - Jason was legally sober enough to drive) jason attacked them and was so wild, the two of them had to beat him to death in self defense. Molly and Tom had not a mark on them, yet Jason was a gruesome mess. There was blood on Jasons' pillow. Had he been sleeping during the first blow? Very likely, in my opinion. I used to be an avid reader of true crime and have watched many trials. I don't remember ever seeing a pair of killers recieve 6 years for what so clearly looked like a pre-meditated slaughter. What has become of our justice system? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
