Starts off well enough with a great premise and atmosphere, but quickly goes off a cliff. Just when you think it can't get more illogical it enters the realm of utter ridiculousness. Such a shame, it could have been so much better. It's gripping in a way but I think I was hate watching it towards the end.

Illogical decisions, unbelievable relationships (especially the one that begins at school) - David in particular makes no sense, nor do any of the decisions he takes. What is the motivation, self preservation? It's never really clear

It does have a cool aesthetic and atmosphere, I'll give it that much.

Unfortunately this documentary seems to have fallen down a sensationalist hole. There is a fair amount of what appears to be damning testimony and interesting context to Diddy, his background, rise and fall, but it's seemingly constantly embellished by hot takes about childhood trauma, conspiracy theories and at times some of the personalities don't exactly come across as genuine or authentic. The result is a tabloid-like doc that doesn't feel serious.

Hopefully things will be clearer when Diddy has his day in court. It's clear that he has done some extremely awful things (the assault of Cassie is both undeniable and inexcusable), but the documentary doesn't really do much to truly help us understand the extent of his deeds one way or the other.
