📺 I Am a Killer, and this is my story. Netflix’s hit series I Am a Killer returns for its sixth season, bringing chilling stories of convicted murderers who recount the crimes they committed and the motives that led them there — all in their own words. The documentary has built a strong fan base, particularly among true crime and documentary enthusiasts.

Season six features five stories spread across six episodes, with a unique opening that sets it apart from previous seasons. The first case unfolds over two episodes given its complexity and the tangled relationships between those involved. The first two episodes, A Mothers Choice, explore a shocking crime in San Antonio, Texas in 2014.

The case: The episode opens with an interview featuring Candy Dominguez, a woman in her 40s serving time for her role in a crime orchestrated by her boyfriend, Daniel Lopez, a member of the Texas branch of the Mexican Mafia. Candy lures her cousin, Jose Menchaca, into a trap set by Lopez, who sought revenge over a personal dispute. Candy insists she only acted out of fear, claiming that Daniel threatened to kill her and her five children if she refused to do so.

As the case unfolds throughout the episode, perspectives shift dramatically. Daniel gives his own perspective, along with his defense attorney, leading to an interesting and evolving narrative where the truth becomes more elusive with each revelation.

This show doesn’t just present the details of the crime — it’s more a deep dive into the psyche of the perpetrators, offering a haunting exploration of human nature and how dark individuals can become. The show successfully presents every angle, including victims’ families. Each episode stands alone, making it an easy and compelling watch for crime documentary fans.
