The Curious Case of...

Beginning with the Natalia Grace series, and continuing here, are stories about people who have been deeply abused and live a life greatly affected by it. We then are treated to a bunch of anecdotal interviews by people who have little understanding of trauma responses, expressing their confusion at the actions of a traumatized person, with little nuance or explanation of how trauma affects a person and their ability to act 'normally'.

While I can understand the average neighbor not having the foreknowledge of trauma responses and how a person can appear strange to outsiders or even loved ones, the show runners live in the current era and have no excuse for not acknowledging this as an important topic of discussion.

Hire a therapist to sit there with that lawyer lady, give us the legal perspective along with the mental health perspective.

Aside from the stories being uninteresting, the episodes being full of weird hippie types and each episode seems to go on forever, Beth Karas just gets more and more grating as time goes on.

Most docuseries have a different "expert" for each car, if not multiples per episode. But they just have Karas through the entire season. She doesn't really add any expertise or first hand knowledge of a case, she just recaps what was said in the prior 4 minutes.

The whole series seems low budget and amateurish. Usually MAX docs are really good, this feels like something from a 2nd rate cable network. Just bad.

This feels like complete satire and so sad it is not. We are expected to demonize the woman who came up with a possible mental health solution because she does not have a degree and looks pretty? Because the crazy lawyer (?) with Pom poms in her hair and obsession with Britney Spears believes it was a conspiracy? Terrible programming. Tone deaf given our current state of affairs in the nation. I was looking for something more uplifting/kind.

It was so bad that I, someone that has never rated anything on IMDb, felt compelled to let everyone else know.

Not sure what that to say here but please don't waste your time. And HBO, SMH.

I thought I was watching a documentary on Bam Margera. Instead I got a scattered mess of self absorbed no-name Millenial girls with mental health problems trying to promote their own stories, brands, and companies.

Hbo really missed the mark with this one. I supposed I should have checked the imdb score before starting this show.

Whoever directed this should find another line of work because this is one of the worst docs I have ever seen.

I would say that over 75% of this documentary was off topic and unrelated to Bam Margera at all.

The VR girl and the Legally Blonde attorney both need conservatory themselves...

BJ needs to get her head checked. It is concerning that she is able to practice law.

Talking about how she cares about people and wants the real truth to get out. It is clear she has never dealt with someone who has mental health issues. They make stuff up, they hallucinate, they don't know what is real or fake.

Just because someone says something doesn't automatically make it the truth.

Sit back, do some real research and educate yourself on mental health before attacking people and their family.

As for Lima, I am sure her intentions were good and I personally don't feel she was involved in the death of Amanda but I do think she needs to get some credentials herself before subjecting people to her "treatment".

Both these ladies need to step out of the limelight and focus on being better humans.

They're embarrassing.

Mostly BJ though. She makes me sick to my stomach.

She's the opposite of Elle Woods the way she goes around attacking people and setting her psycho followers after people as well.

BJ needs to seek mental health treatment herself.
