Queen of Meth

The low reviews are a little overboard. Nowhere during the 3 episodes do they glorify anything in terms of Lori Arnold and her story. This was by far a very interesting documentary, and just like all the other kingpins and queenpins in the history of drug dealing, Lori Arnold had a short run of making a ton of money, and then bust. Like the rest of the world, she was only doing the best she could with what she had. I'm in no way condoning drug dealing, but in the end, this documentary is in no way glorifying her life as a drug dealer. It's just flat out telling someone's story.

It went from bad when it opened with them talking about torturing kittens to equally bad when they destroy people's lives. It does give you some idea why Tom Arnold is so creepy.

Despite what she did and what happened...you can't help but like this woman. It reminded me so much of the people that were around me growing up. Despite flaws..and there were plenty, they do what they say and say what they mean. Unfortunately, the drug problem will never go away...but people with this persona will vanish.

What a stupid show to make. People died on her hands and she seems proud of being the Queen of meth give me a break. If I were her or Tom Arnold go crawl under a rock.

I enjoyed the documentary. It was good for what it had to work with, the life of an actor's sister, drugs, and life in a small city. A lot of the negative written reviews seem to be what we often see on the Internet as the hive mentality. I can tell by some reviews, the people who wrote the reviews didn't watch the documentary. It was interesting to see how the leading city employer turned its back on the people. This is something that has been happening since the 80s, as I've watched American labor rights degenerate. There are a lot of lessons on what not to do in the documentary. Frankly that goes from drugs, to chain smoking, and over-eating. We keep hearing from one particular sect of society how bad life is in large cities. In this documentary, we get the full-effect of the downsides living in a small city with little opportunities and resources available to its people. The documentary also offers the lessons of the more you 'own', the more it costs to keep those things up. Lori thought she was taking the easy way out, when in fact it almost crushed her. I'm surprised she can even smile today. She is kind-hearted, but got caught up in the lure of what she thought was easy money. It was fast money, but not easy. I'm glad to see her and Tom are close once again. I wish all of them the best who were brave enough to openly speak about their experiences of those days.
