Series 1

A true crime series which tells the stories of women whose lovers tore their lives apart.

Red Flag is the gripping, new true crime series which tells the astonishing stories of women who were deceived into loving the men who ripped their lives apart.

Experts, Rebecca Mason and Anjula Mutanda uncover the Red Flags that went missed, unseen or ignored in relationships that quickly descended from the promise of a new love, to lives that were torn apart.

In emotional first-person testimony, each survivor recounts how a new partner, who they often met online, turned their world upside down as they were sucked into the web of deceit, lies and controlling behaviour. In many cases they were lucky to escape alive.

These are the stories of women who were simply looking for love, and each one is more jaw dropping than the last. Among them are Esther who got back together with the boyfriend who nearly killed her and Juliana who was blackmailed by her manipulative boyfriend and discovered he had filmed himself sexually assaulting her in her sleep.

The series aims to empower women and men and recognise the Red Flags that can occur in any relationship so they know when to walk away.
