True Crime Story: Indefensible (2021– )

Have any of you heard of Satire?

[9/10 · 9 January 2024]

Wow! Look at all the hate to the host!

It's rather gross. Jenna Friedman is interested in the insane injustice that is prevalent in our legal system. These are slightly satirical because each episode topic is so infuriating! There has to be a bit of relief from how shocking some of this is. She's not doing it in a super feminist or a bleeding heart liberal way. Why on earth would so many true crime fans hate her!!? She's having a bit of fun in some of her interviews. Sometimes it is uncomfortable when she is direct, but she has asked the hard questions to famous legal celebrities that I want them to answer!

This is a great show. It's so entertaining. I wish these episodes were much longer and in-depth.

I couldn't believe the aggressive hate for a 20min, 13 episode show that is meant to poke at some real insanity in our current justice system. This is a show that exists only in the mind of the host. It was her idea, so how can you get rid of the host when you like the show? Obnoxious women on women hate is what I'm getting. Also probably some pro-defense bias, too.

It is just so sad how many ppl missed the whole point of the show due to their trite pettiness/female jealousy/ political belief bias.

The Crowded Room (2023)

After 7 episodes...

[3/10 · 7 July 2023]

I've just really been disappointed by this. I had very little experience with Tom Hollund before this, but I liked Amanda Seyfried a great deal from The Dropout. I also really like the Israeli actor from Fauda.

After 3 or 4 episodes, my husband guessed about what was happening. He said I bet it's all one person... I won't say what he meant, but I told him: no way. That would be boring and has been done so many times by way better actors... Yet here we are- episode 7 and my husband was absolved correct. I thought maybe this would be the last episode. Now I see that there are 3 more left!? Why?! I get it. He's supposedly got MPD. The problem is that MPD doesn't actually exist. MPD is no longer recognized as an actual disorder by the current scientific community.

Anyway, even if you do believe in MPD, this is a trite and lame plot device. Certainly not worth 10 hour episodes.

Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry (2010– )

Fascinating and terrifying...

[9/10 · 15 June 2023]

This is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek crime series. It has a little bit of fun at the expense of the bad guy/girl. It's the story of the spouses/loved ones of the worst serial killers, con men, perverts and lifelong criminals of our time. Part of the horror of this show is that the audience knows something very bad will happen, while the spouse ignores all the red flags around them! I'll scream at the TV when they are being particularly gullible! In the defense of the spouses, the cops often ignore the warning signs too! Plus people never expect something this awful could happen to them in their own family. So I try not to judge.

I really love this show. I am watching the later episodes that I missed thru the years and it's just as interesting and unbelievable as ever.

The episodes that really stuck with me were Mildred Muhammad, (wife of DC sniper), Judith Ridgeway (wife of Green River Killer), and Myra Lewis (young cousin/wife of Jerry Lee Lewis). Those women's stories were very sad and moving.

Below is my first review of the series:

My favorite show in this genre is "Evil Lives Here". It's also about the family members of bad people- whether it's a husband, brother, parent or child of some bad criminal. That show is a little more disturbing, but it's how I ended up finding "Who the Bleep".

"Who the Bleep Did I Marry" is less scary and sad than a typical true crime series, which makes it something I can watch before bed without nightmares. Some stories are still very sad, especially when children are involved. All of the people here believe they met the best partner/spouse, only to find out they didn't really know their spouse after all.

I have seen all the first 2 seasons, and I'm halfway thru season 3. I definitely recommend this for true crime fans. It may not be as intense as a other crime shows, but the stories are so interesting and bizarre. It's hard for me to turn it off.

Queen of the South (2016–2021)

Amazing- ratings should be 9.5

Great show! Couldn't stop watching. Surprisingly the South of the South is one of the best shows to binge! It should have much higher reviews.
