Black, white and gray: the unpleasant fiction of this highly rated crime series

Imagine the following: You are on your couch, popcorn in your hand and ready for your usual true crime. You played in Sononyliv's latest show “Black, White and Grey-Love Kills” and ten minutes later you are convinced that you are knee-deep in a crime documentary in the Netflix style. There is atmospheric narrative, dark lighting, flashback cuts and lovers with secrets – thicker than an action protocol in every ordinary crime drama. But here is the catch: it is not a documentary. Yes, 'Love Kills' is pure fiction. But it is manufactured so realistically that you have your originality google.

Let's just say that the creators of 'Love Kills' knew exactly what they were doing. The show is structured like a series with True Crime series, with each episode a new story of darkness. But instead of having interviews with real people, we will be a flawless spectacle and dramatization that are so close that you feel that you can see newly discovered film material from someone's spiral -controlled real relationship, only with the expectation of a “basis of real events” to appear.

This series with six episodes, which played in Nagpur 2020 in 2020, makes them the head of Daniel Gray, a filmmaker based in Great Britain with a serious obsession, the secrets that buried India seriously. And let's just say that his documentary film is immediately gripping. How, everything you get with other packs!

The story begins with Gray examining a stunning case in which a 26-year-old man who was accused of killing four people-and not just from someone he claimed from whom he loved he loved, a policeman, a little boy and a taxi driver. At first glance, “black, white and gray” could like a typical documentary thriller with the entire “What happens, who did it and why” filler. But hold on to it, because this show turns the script very quickly. At the end of the first episode you don't ask “Whodunnit”, ask: “Wait, what have I just seen?”

This is not your standard plot twist-for-clout deal. The story refuses to be properly packed against evil. It is cloudy, it is chaotic and lives in the unpleasant middle. Truth? Not so black and white – and that's the jumping point.

With Slick's dramatized, I almost bought the show into history as a pure fact – and frankly, she did it with more conviction and cinematic flair than most others. The documentary filmmaker not only scratches the surface – it becomes full and detective and interviews everyone who is even bound to the case from afar: the leading investigator, funeral families, the girl's best friend, a policeman, the hired Hitman, the eyewitnesses, the parents of the accused and finally the accused himself.

And as soon as you have the feeling of settling down with your version of the truth, you believe everything that is shown, listen carefully every version of the story, extract your own information from it and that is where you start to question the reality of all of this. No matter how convincing it will be, it hits her hard when you find that it is more of a mockumentary (yes!) As a documentary, so it feels like a personal betrayal.

And exactly there, there, 'Love Kills' separates from the crowd. It is not just a different crime show – it is a deep immersion in the obsession, truth and the very blurred border between storytelling and reality. It says, “What if we invented everything, but it had to look too real?” And somehow it is more scary. Because they are not only afraid of having real crawl, they are afraid of how credible fiction can be. It blurred the lines and reflects how chaotic and complicated real relationships can feel.

'Black, white and gray – dear Kills' is a mind game. It attracts them with its coat of true crime and then hits them into the intestine with emotional depth and masterful stories. It's fiction, yes, but it will follow you like a cold case that you have never solved.
