Les Ex de l'enfer

The horror of being close to a truly bad person must be just nightmarish. Episode 1 conveys this sense very strongly and by the end of the episode, an emotionally exhausting narrative has been laid out.

However, the rest of the series falls far short of the series opener. Not that those other stories aren't stunning, but they're simply poorly constructed and drag on in ways that seem more focused on squeezing every detail, however unnecessary, out of the interviews.

With no intention to diminish those stories, it must be said that they're poorly presented and simply are not compelling. At a time when criminal reality shows abound on streaming platforms, there's much better content out there.

Ignore the bad reviews. This programme is good and highlighting the absolute horrendous problem of domestic violence and those people who think that women are just a commodity to be used.

Yes, some of the scenes are dramatised for the programme this helps tell the stories of those victims who have survived such terrible ordeals.

There should be more conversation about how men treat women and how some law enforcement agencies will side with the perpetrator rather than the victim.

Other comments have politicised this sort of show, which is not acceptable. Domestic violence is a warrant and should be called out regardless.

After the success of Worst roommate ever, it was pretty obvious that more would follow, Worst ex was the logical choice.

It could have been a really cheap and vacuous follow up series, but it's good, definitely well worth watching. If you're into real life crime documentaries, then I think you'll enjoy this one.

This first series is made up of four episodes, four fairly different, but equally interesting and shocking storylines, but it was Killing for custody that shocked me most of all, talk about a harrowing watch.

It's nicely made, with interesting, first hand interviews, and the obvious 'Worst' accompanying animations.

One thing that seems apparent throughout, failings by the authorities, it seems in most of the stories, victims are let down by the powers that be, especially Seemona.

I wonder what's next, worst barista ever, worst dog walker ever? I'd be down for that. You know what happens when these guys get a formula that works.

7/10.

It's a finely made documentary series, with quite eerie and disturbing topic.

There's just one problem with it, and it's how producers of this documentary reasoned; if you have 30 minutes worth of a story, and you have a contract for a one hour episode, then by any sanity, you should just tell TWO of such stories to fill the time.

What did producers do? Create 30 minutes of cartoons to simply waste viewer's time.

Now, if the 30-minute story is not very good, and it's 30 minutes long, typical person would go, "meh, it was just 30 minutes, anyway". But if it's dragged out to a hour, not only did the person watch a poor story, but they also lost entire hour of their lifetime for no good reason.

So, while it's a fine documentary, everything's dragged out about twice the length it should be. Which is just utterly annoying.

I do not know why people who work for Netflix do this. One would assume that if you get a contract from major streaming platform, you'd try your best to be sane and reasonable and deliver a top product.

Guess I don't know something.

The cycle of abuse and victimhood never changes. It goes from sick disturbed person to disturb person and if people who have abuse in their lives have children they pass on the illness to them just like any hereditary disease. Either you become the monster or you become a victim to someone else. Sick ill people attract sick and ill people. People with healthy emotions, personal boundaries, grounded morals and values do not let sickos into their lives and sickos are not attracted to them because having a healthy mentality and emotions is like a force field against these kind of people. If you've grown up with an abusive or controlling or psychopathic caregiver it is part of your everyday life and you will not see signals and red flags from other disturbed people or other victims. If you ever find yourself in a situation from a man like this, He does not love you He does not care about you He is completely utterly using you and you have any shred of self-esteem and self-worth left reach out to every person possible for support, find government programs, involve yourself with the police and get yourself away.. your life may depend on it. It's also disgusting how the Justice system fails these people. Cops who don't want to listen or do their job. Victims who fear for their life and don't want to expose themselves further to the psychopath and then the law is just like oh well.. Let him go. So he can murder, torture and dismember more women. Please officers need to have a mandated psychology course and a firm understanding of behavior and abuse.
