What is Snapped: Killer Moms about?
The series expands the long-running Snapped franchise with cases in which motherhood, family relationships and a drive to protect or avenge a child become central to the crime.
The premiere followed Las Vegas police as a shooting that first looked like self-defense came apart after video evidence contradicted the shooter's story. That case set the tone for a season about how far a mother's desperation can go.
