'The Motive' is the latest Israeli docuseries on Netflix of the Crime TV show, and True Crime Documentaries genres. The provocative, terrifying series walks us through the deaths of a family, all shot in their beds while asleep, by a 14-year-old boy.

As if the incident in itself isn't horrifying enough, tons of unanswered questions remain. 'The Motive', a four-part series, showcases the mind-numbing story of a teen boy, who murdered his family with a rifle, in the Ein Kerem neighborhood of Jerusalem, in 1986. The boy added that a green creature of sorts had entered his mind and told him to kill everyone at home. Investigators and many psychiatrists from all over the world tried to make sense of his doings, having reached no conclusion. There are interviews with judges, lawyers, a journalist, police, doctors, and even prosecutors at the home for offenders, where the boy served time, for a solid six years.
