Worst Ex Ever

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.

As far as thrills and adrenaline rushes go, I think that Worst Ex Ever was much more effective than Worst Roommate Ever. These stories were horrifying because of both the ongoing DV, but also at how pathetic the police has been through time. It should NOT have to get the point of assault happening for these people to get some level of protection against their former partners!!! "Killing for Custody" was right out of a horror movie, but I was grateful for such a striking example of men being victims of DV as well. It's necessary representation, and I hope that others who watch this show leave with a better understanding of DV, DV warning signs, and the lasting impact these experiences have on survivors.

All the episodes are very interesting and worth a watch, but I found the 3rd and 4th ones particularly sad and horrific. I was so impressed with the protagonist/narrator from the last one in getting an amendment to a bill passed after what she experienced - what an amazing thing to do after what she went through. That will help so many people. Well done. So sad for what all these victims went through, it's so shocking to see what can happen to the human psyche to make people do such insane things. And so awful to see how the victims try to get away but they can't because procedure needs to be followed, and while it is, sometimes much worse things happen that could have been avoided.

Great series. Looking forward to whatever they do next!

Watching this program will make you want to scream at your television. Not to sound too judgmental, but some of the women in these episodes are just far too trusting and just horrible judges of character. How many times do you need to get abused or beaten before you realize a guy is bad news?

The first episode in particular also shines a terrible spotlight on law enforcement in Nevada and Oregon. The utter incompetence is just enraging. The fact that Ben Foster was able to threaten and abuse women over and over again is a disgraceful failure by the legal system. And watching the almost slapstick antics of the cops in Oregon trying to apprehend Foster was just theater of the absurd.

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.
