The second one breaks away from fits of anger to more premeditated murder, featuring the famous Amber Smith case, who shot her fiancé Mallory in his sleep before they even got to take the wedding vows. The first episode starts with a jibe into the innate irony on the bride and groom killing one another, by naming itself ‘The Ultimate Pledge’ between an Ohio couple that crawls into the morbid eventuality of a toxic relationship – 26-year old Colleen McKernan kills her husband Robert with ten successive gunshots on new year’s eve. To keep things interesting, these episodes still never felt formulaic despite its proclivity for common patterns – one may be a nerve-wracking account of a psychotic killer, another a take on how circumstances force people into unpleasant decisions that go against their character, and yet another educational showcase of the anatomy of a volatile relationship. Season 1 of Bride Killa documented six such cases in its 40-minute episodes apiece. Marriages bind two persons with the oath to protect each other come hell or high water – but some conjugal ties are severed when this oath turns upside down. It would also not be against predictions if By the Wake and Unexpecting-star Lauren Meley, who played Amber Smith on the most high-profile case in the second episode is also called again to star in a new episode in the potential second season.
However, it would not be surprising if the star of Journey To The Center of The Earth and 80 Days Around the World, Kristen Udowitz gets hired again as the narrator, as she has done an excellent job in the department. Because of the various murders the show documents in an episodic manner, the cast is hired in a single-episode contract.
