‘Toxic’ series premiere: How to watch, where to stream free
The brand new true-crime series Toxic premieres on Investigation Discovery Monday, May 5 at 10/9c.
Hosted by television personality Elizabeth Chambers, Toxic focuses on cases involving toxic relationships, and throughout the series, Chambers interviews survivors and family members, giving them a chance to share their stories—many, for the first time.
Season one consists of six episodes with the debut episode titled “Sleeping with a Stranger,” premiering tonight. According to the episode’s synopsis, this week’s episode centers on Kelly Sutliff and her experience with her now ex-husband.
During Chambers’ interview with Sutliff, viewers will hear from Sutliff herself, along with her friends and family as they attempt to unpack how a whirlwind romance ultimately turned into a nightmare that still keeps Sutliff up at night.
