Let’s be honest, divorce is rarely a picnic. But in TV One’s latest true crime offering, Payback: Foot in the Grave, the split gets downright lethal. Premiering Monday, November 11th at 10:00 PM, this documentary chronicles a wife’s attempt to manipulate her divorce proceedings for a bigger payout, a plan that quickly spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
The central figure, a woman scorned, sets out to make her soon-to-be ex-husband pay, but it’s not exactly clear how well she thought this through. Her scheme, as these things often do, takes a dark turn, making her the target instead of the mastermind. It’s a twist worthy of a pulpy thriller, which this documentary seems eager to emulate.
Foot in the Grave seems poised to deliver the requisite true-crime thrills, charting the escalating series of events and presumably unpacking the psychology behind such desperate measures. Viewers can expect a close look at the fallout of a marriage gone wrong and the extreme lengths some people will go to for revenge, or just a slightly larger slice of the marital pie.
Payback: Foot in the Grave airs Monday, November 11, 2024, at 10:00 PM on TV One.
