Worst Ex Ever

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first episode is fantastic. That could even be a movie by itself. The second episode is pretty good too. It's extremely frustrating at times but man, what a masterpiece of psychopathy.

From there I was hooked, but then slammed to reality. The third episode is an extremely lonely introvert who makes bad decisions. It's not a bad episode necessarily, but not that interesting and ultimately kind of aggravating to watch.

By the fourth episode, you kind of feel they all just deserve each other. I don't want to sound cold hearted, but in the context of the show, they just aren't as interesting nor out of nowhere.

I'd probably watch the first two, skip the rest.
