Worst Ex Ever

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.

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.

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.

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.
