Les Vérités de Jennifer

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.

I came here after watching the documentary on Netflix to read others reviews and saw a couple mention this YouTube episode "Jennifer's Solution" by JCS Criminal Psychology. I was wondering how much better it actually could be and it's a LOT better. More footage of the interviews and explaining the psychology behind what she's doing. How you can see from the beginning she is putting on an act. I also think it does a better job of diving into her life with her parents. While Netflix's scratched the surface and was a good intro, the YouTube one really dives in deeper. I also think the Netflix doc provides more of the thoughts of the police/detectives on the case...but there were things that didn't make sense. There were clear consistencies in her 911 call and her in-person interviews that never appeared to be questioned in the interviews on the documentary. I would highly suggest the YouTube episode over Netflix's if you're interested in this case.

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.

Overall i enjoyed the documentary just expected a bit more.

I wondered why so many details were left out. Although I truly appreciated the actual footage and commentary I was surprised they chose to exclude some of the more interesting tidbits about the case

I had preciously listened to the 2 hour and 49 minute long Casefile (Episode 50) from 2017 podcast about this years ago and wish they would have included more into this documentary. Casefiles version was so good.

I also recently watched the JCS: Criminal Psychology episode (Jennifer's Solution). It was good also.

I would definitely recommend watching and listening to both of those to get your true crime fix.

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.
