An interviewer for Netflix's 'I Am A Killer' has spoken to over 100 prisoners. She shares what it's like speaking to murderers and how her team finds gripping stories.
- Zoe Hines is a director and producer on the team at Transistor Films that makes the Netflix docuseries 'I Am A Killer.'
- Hines has interviewed 13 killers, from those convicted of murder to manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter, in multiple maximum-security prisons across the United States.
- The interviewees featured on the show include Gary Black, who was given a life sentence in 1998 after stabbing Jason Johnson, a stranger, in the neck at a convenience store in Missouri.
- The 'I Am A Killer' team doesn't interview mass murderers or sexual abusers.
- Finding the right subjects for the interviews is 'incredibly labor intensive,' as the team must navigate each state's prison system, from finding inmates on databases to being granted access.
- Once the team finds an inmate with an interesting story who is not involved in legal proceedings, they exchange written letters with them for several months and then arrange an interview through the relevant state's Department of Corrections.
- The interviews can lead to prisoners reevaluating their crimes.
- Filming 'I Am A Killer' has taken Hines to places where there's 'a lot of social, economic deprivation,' which can lead to 'complicating factors' in the crimes she has covered.
- Hines said: 'I think the general idea that everybody who takes another person's life is a monster is flawed. I think humans, we're all flawed to a certain degree.'
- Everything they do is with the welfare of victims and their families at the forefront of their concerns.

Netflix password sharing: how the rules work and what you need to know
- Netflix has cracked down on password sharing, making it much more difficult to share an account outside of your home.
- Netflix had to cut down on password sharing, because the missing revenue from all of those accounts made it harder to invest in new original movies and TV.
- A Netflix account may be shared, but is meant to be shared only among the users who live in the same household.
- Under the current Netflix rules, you’ll have to set a primary location for your account.
- If you want to keep Netflix but don’t live with the person you were sharing an account with, then you’ll need to pay for your own Netflix subscription.
- Thankfully even though Netflix is cracking down on password sharing, you’ll still be able to watch whether you’re curled up on the couch or relaxing on vacation.
- Netflix has always had different content available in different regions.
- While you still have the option to use Netflix with a VPN, you won’t have access to the full catalog for any specific region.
- If you’re watching Netflix primarily for the original programming, then you should be good to go.
- It’s also possible to run into issues on Netflix where it will ask you to turn off your VPN for some region-locked content.
