'Chilling' true crime documentary takes Netflix charts by storm
A 'chilling' new true crime documentary released by Netflix has shot up the global charts despite only being dropped earlier this month. A Deadly American Marriage, which dropped on Friday, May 9, investigates the 2015 killing of 39-year-old Jason Corbett, an Irish man living in North Carolina, USA. Corbett's wife, Molly Martens (33 at the time) and her father, Thomas (67 at the time), were both initially found guilty of second-degree murder in 2017, but later had their convictions reversed. They were both released from prison in 2024 after accepting a plea bargain to reduced charges, while Molly and Thomas claim they acted in self-defence after Corbett tried to attack them. Investigations into Corbett's death gained widespread media attention, and this Netflix documentary is the latest episode in the decade-long fatal saga.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. The documentary features interviews with Molly and Thomas themselves, as well as appearances from Corbett's children – Jack and Sarah – and others involved in the case. Described by critics as 'shocking' and 'excruciating', the documentary keeps a keen eye on how the incident has affected the lives of Jack and Sarah ever since. Corbett had Jack and Sarah during a previous marriage to a woman named Margaret Fitzpatrick, who had tragically died of an asthma attack 10 years earlier. Advertising A Deadly American Marriage, Netflix called it 'a chilling exploration of love and betrayal featuring interviews with those closest to the case'. The true crime documentary has risen up the charts since its release and is now the number three show globally, sitting only behind Nonnas and the 2019 film Inside Man: Most Wanted. 'Just watched this and it's defo one to watch. Messed up,' Sophie Wiles wrote on Facebook, while Nikki Baker wrote: 'Watching it now. So sad for Jason's family and his two children.' Victoria Judge thought A Deadly American Marriage sounded 'sinister' ahead of tuning in, with Netflix's true crime category proving to be one of its most popular. After he left Limerick in Ireland, Corbett and Molly met one another in 2008 when Corbett hired Molly as an au pair, moving to North Carolina three years later. In August 2015, Thomas dialled 911 and said Corbett had been badly injured, claiming that he, Molly, and Corbett had been involved in an altercation. The father and daughter claimed to police that Jason attacked Molly in the middle of the night, also threatening to kill her, leading them to allegedly act in self-defence. More Trending Speaking about the documentary, its directors, Jenny Popplewell and Jessica Burgess, explained to Netflix news site Tudum how they wanted to approach the case. 'This case demonstrates how complex the American justice system is. Where is the truth? Where are the lies? Where is justice? This documentary demonstrates that it's not clear-cut.' They continued: 'From the very beginning, we approached both families. For the film to remain objective and balanced, we never discussed information we learned with either side.'

Side hustle shock as 'broke' Gen Z student earns $1,000 in a week: ‘Good way to make money'
A Melbourne university student has gone viral after sharing how she is making $1,000 in one week on top of her regular job by picking up odd side hustles. She's done everything from extra hospitality shifts, to letterbox drops, and even helping a girl catch out her cheating boyfriend. Ruby Corbett is hoping to travel to Singapore for a holiday with her best friend in a month, but admitted she was a 'broke uni student' and didn't want to dig into her savings to fund the trip. The 18-year-old told Yahoo Finance she decided to set herself a challenge to earn $1,000 in one week to make some extra cash. Along with selling her old iPhone with a broken screen for $150 and picking up odd hospitality shifts using the app Supp, Corbett has been using Airtasker to find tasks to help her complete her challenge. RELATED $25 side hustle trick to make $202,515: 'Life changing amount of money' Centrelink issues urgent Age Pension eligibility change warning: 'Double check' ATO issues superannuation warning for retirees over June 1 rule 'change': 'When you can access savings' 'I've done a range of things. I've done distribution of flyers on there, I've picked up items, I've put someone's bins out. I've helped someone catch their cheating boyfriend,' she said. She was paid $23 to help catch the cheating boyfriend, which she explained involved signing up to Tinder and seeing if he would match with her. She earned another $31 to take out and bring in someone's bins, $35 to deliver a parcel which was near her gym, and $120 to do letterbox the letter box drops can take a few hours to complete, Corbett said the other tasks were relatively quick to do and were the types of jobs that anyone could do. 'There's a lot of those sorts of tasks on there, like delivery tasks,' she told Yahoo Finance. In total, she has already made $785 and is on day five of the challenge. While she has two days left to go in the challenge, she expects she will hit her $1,000 goal early after she completes another round of letterbox drops. Corbett is currently completing a double degree in international relations and law, while working part-time as an office assistant for a real estate company. She also has two hospitality jobs, but does not get consistent hours for these. Corbett has been sharing videos online about her $1,000 challenge, with some Aussies sharing their surprise at how much she had earned for easy tasks. 'Are u kidding me, $30 to take out bins!' one said. Other Aussies weighed in on the easy ways they had made extra cash. 'Some guy gave me $150 to put a pile of leaves in his bin. It took me 20 minutes,' one wrote. 'Sell your clothes on Depop & FB marketplace, so worth it,' another said. 'Try Askable! It'll really help you bump up your numbers in your spare time,' a third suggested. 'I do flyers as well, I did 1500 for $150 it's really good. Ask in your local fb groups if anyone needs business cards handled out into letterboxes for a fee,' another said. Others suggested doing surveys, market research and mystery shopping, while some recommended jumping on Uber Eats or Doordash. Airtasker CEO and founder Tim Fung said it was great to see people using the platform to make extra cash. 'We love seeing people like Ruby turn to Airtasker in specific times where they want to be earning some extra cash, and rely on the flexibility of the platform to be able to complete as many or as little tasks as they like,' he said. 'It's incredible how much demand there is for everyday skills like dog walking, delivery services, resume writing, cleaning, and cooking - it's about unlocking the value of your skills, no matter how big or small." Corbett said she plans to keep using the platform to make extra cash, given that being a uni student is 'not the cheapest', when her challenge is completed. For others wanting to jump on, she said the best thing to do was to apply for as many tasks as you can to help build up positive reviews. 'The biggest thing is just apply for everything that you can do because the odds of getting everything is probably not very high,' she said. 'I think it's a very good way to get money. I found it works for me.'
