Married with Secrets

Rivaling fictional blockbusters like "Girl on a Train" and "Gone Girl," Investigation Discovery's "Married With Secrets" looks at when happily ever after goes horribly wrong. The series dramatizes the twisted psychological warfare of marriages, telling stories of seemingly perfect unions that turn nightmarish after husbands and wives embark on secret lives that take them down devastating paths. From secret sadomasochistic sex games to hit men for hire, there's no vow too sacred to break and no place too twisted to go for these spouses. And once skeletons come out of the closet, no one is safe.

Directed by —, Married with Secrets leans on a strong ensemble — Craig Klein, Cheryl Arutt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2016.
