The show is narrated by Kathleen Fee, a Canadian voice actress known for her work in animation, film, and television. Her voice adds a chilling and suspenseful tone to the reenactments of the crimes, making viewers feel like they are part of the investigation.

The show covers a wide range of cases, from domestic violence to love triangles to financial disputes. Each episode starts with an introduction of the couple, their relationship, and their background. It then transitions to the events leading up to the murder, including the warning signs and red flags that were ignored. The investigation phase follows, with interviews and testimonies from the people involved. The climax of the episode is the trial, where the verdict and sentencing are revealed.

What makes Fatal Vows stand out from other true crime shows is its focus on the relationships and the psychology behind the crimes. It delves into the dynamics of couples who seemed to have it all, but whose love turned toxic and violent. It shows how the obsession, jealousy, and betrayal can push people to commit heinous acts, often with devastating consequences.

The show also highlights the impact of the crimes on the families and the communities.
