¿Qué hizo Jennifer?

Just finished watching the documentary. It was OK, but it did not delve into the psychological reasons for Jennifer killing her parents. The Asian culture pushes be the best be professional and not have a life whatsoever. Everything is about studying piano and violin. I went to school with children like this and they had no life and eventually had arranged marriages. While it was wrong for Jennifer to kill her parents. Murder is never the right thing to do, but we really must also look at why she did what she did and what was her breaking point she wasn't allowed to and she had to get into university to be a pharmacist, which is something she really didn't want to do and she wasn't scholastically at that level. The documentary could've dived into that issue of the tiger parents and what made Jennifer do what Jennifer did.

If you ask me, I think JCS did much better in composing this case and presenting it through the lense of criminal psychology.

It highlights the most important aspects of the case - all condensed into what Jennifer really thought the solution was. Also, with the bonus of not including the dramatic music in the background that Netflix features in every single crime doco.

I honestly thought watching the case again, this time around on Netflix, I might learn something more. However, after seeing it, Netflix doesn't measure up the slightest to what JCS presented.

For those curious, it's called Jennifer's Solution on YT.

Police receive a 911 call from Jennifer Pan, who explains that her parents have been shot at their family home.

First of all, what a drab production, I've just watched another Netflix documentary, Crime Scene Berlin, which was such a slick production, this one, for Netflix was so bland.

The story, it's an interesting one, but the narrative is just off somehow, I don't feel we learned very much at all, very little exploration of Jennifer's relationship with her parents, no alternative theories explored.

The actual footage of Jennifer's interviews is fascinating, and does make the film worth watching. You see some of the techniques used by The Police.

Personally, it must have been tough for her, her parents seemed pretty strict, but what she did, as the title gives away...... unforgivably.

It's a little overlong at 90 minutes long, you may find yourself yawning and fidgeting a little bit.

Worth seeing, but don't expect to be wowed.

6/10.

I really hope they gave him credit for this, because his was so much better, and they obviously ripped him off. I only watched this because I learned of this case due to JCS. However, after watching this, and comparing to JCS, well it really can't compare. I feel like JCS was more thorough and kept my attention. I also like how he explains Jennifers demeanor and everything, so that you know how the story comes together. He gave a lot more backstory as well. I usually love Netflix, but it's really hard when you watched a really good one, and then you see this one, it just can't compare. I really recommend you watching JCS Criminology on YouTube instead.

This is a decent enough Netflix documentary about the murder and attempted murder of a set of strict immigrant parents and the assault of their only daughter. While the motive appears to be a robbery, or drug related revenge killing there may be more. That is what this one is about. Mostly told through interviews and archival interrogation footage it is not too long and decent enough. Not a real brain twister, but if you like true crime it is worth a watch. I did not find it to be the best or the worst of the real crime documentaries but still very watchable. Telling more would be to provide spoilers, which we don't do.
