Betrayal

This documentary could have been completed in 1 episode. I felt like I was hearing the same thing over and over again.

Ex was a creep but the wife must have been completely blind not to have noticed. Also annoyed that she kept referring to Acworth as a little town where everyone knew each other and people were talking. It is a suburb of Atlanta area with over 6 million people. Most people who live in Acworth work, shop and dine in the metro Atlanta area. The husband taught at a high school in another county. Wife is very dramatic and pretty full of herself. I usually love these type of shows but found this one boring.

Yes, the story is a bit dragged out; however, I was encouraged to finish it. By the end, Spence makes it clear that he is incapable of understanding why his behavior is bad. Conversely, Jenifer is the embodiment of goodness. Not only betrayed by her husband, but multiple friends and acquaintances, all of whom demonstrate a lack of morality. Our society is filled with those who can't be trusted. Naive, good people are easy prey. Sadly, children must be taught they cannot trust anyone

Humans are animals and few rise above it. The reviewers giving one-star ratings obviously resonate with beasts.

...and my daughter knew this teacher. That made it much more personal for me. I thought the documentary was well done and interesting. This story demonstrates why you really never know anyone. People should not be so arrogant to think that they do. It is unbelievable what he was able to get away with. I feel really sad for all the victims, and surely there are many more students that we don't know about, but also particularly sad for his wife who loved him so much only to be met with such great heartbreak.

ABOUT MY REVIEWS:

I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.

My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

I'm heavy into the first episode - and my jaw hurts from grimacing at the music. It. Never. Stops. Everything is punctuated with music. EVERY. THING. It's very Hallmark. I am not a Hallmark person.

I personally like the step-dad. If you watch this, you'll understand why. I totally agree with him.

When you listen to Spencer, really listen, you hear how self involved and egotistical he actually is. Same with the photos. And you sadly see see how many people are fooled by him. Maybe this series will help younger people see how "they" do it.

This series is held together by the music. You can't escape it.

Jenifer is a good storyteller. The pod caster is okay. But, that damn music adds nothing. I do not appreciate being 'cued' into how I am supposed to "feel" about what's being said by being assaulted with all sorts of music.

It is too long, but sends a good message and is a good background program.

I thought it was an interesting series, however the over-bearing music ruined it for me; cheesy, soppy horrible music.

Narcissist are dangerous people, and good warning to others who may become ensnared by these predators. These monsters are everywhere hiding in plain sight.

Enjoyed Dr Ramini's input, she is great on Youtube.
