This is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. If you’ve heard only one title, this is it. The BBC produced a three-part docuseries that dives into the trial and the chilling medical evidence. You can catch it on BBC iPlayer if you’re in the UK. (Yes, you’ll need a TV license—don’t shoot the messenger.)
For those of us across the pond? It’s a bit trickier. But don’t panic. The series is also available on HBO Max in the US, where it was bundled as a special. Just search the title and cross your fingers. Or, you know, use a VPN if you’re feeling rebellious. (I’m not saying you should, but I’m not saying you shouldn’t.)
Your Next Stop: Channel 4’s “The Lucy Letby Files”
If you want a slightly different angle—more focus on the systemic failures and the hospital’s culture—this is your jam. It’s a single, feature-length documentary. You can stream it on All 4 (free, with ads) if you’re in the UK. For international viewers, check Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV for a rental. It’s often under $5, which is cheaper than a therapy session for the anxiety this case causes.
Pro tip: Watch this one after the BBC series. It fills in the gaps about the whistleblowers. You know, the people who were ignored for years while babies kept dying. (Grim stuff, but important.)
