It's Friday, which means it's time for another Double Date with Blood Relatives! This time with a theme so obvious that Kimberly completely missed it. If she only had a brain.

This Double Date features another brain melting episode of Blood Relatives from ID where the symbols are many, the narration is fantastic and in this case, sadly, the murder is gruesome and unfair.

But if you think that is our only creature of the week then you need to catch up on the other reca...

You might think Natalie Morales was going to slide on into the true crime world of beloved Dateline hosts with a quiet, run of the mill normal murder story. You would be wrong.

Actually if Order could also call in...

This episode of A Double Date with Dateline is another installment of our new favorite ID Network series BLOOD RELATIVES, and it is drowning in symbolism! Snakes! Mushrooms! Rose petals!
