In 2015, a young Texas mother named Reagan Hancock was murdered by Taylor Parker, who had fabricated an entire pregnancy and killed to claim another woman's newborn as her own. Parker was convicted and now awaits execution on death row — a case that had quietly receded from public memory until Netflix's dramatization series 'Maternal Instinct' returned it to the cultural foreground. The streaming revival invites us to ask what we owe the dead when their stories become entertainment, and what it means to encounter tragedy through the mediating lens of episodic content.
