Bling Ring: A História por Trás dos Roubos

I'm watching the first episode now, and have realized that these people, especially the guy, have zero remorse for what they did. He's recalling his robberies with glee. The only time he manages to wipe that smirk off his face is when he recalls getting caught. Gross. Out of curiosity, I looked up their jail time, and their sentences were a joke, so no wonder. If given the opportunity, IMO, he would do it again. I can't imagine the inability to evolve after experiencing something as traumatic as jail, but here we are. The mom is a dingbat/crazy too. Anyone who buys into the LOA is lazy. You can't "imagine" success, you have to actually work for it. You can't live beyond your means and just "envision" your bills getting paid, you have to actually pay them, hence, the bankruptcy.

Vapid, spoiled wannabes from LA Stealing from Ultra rich celebrities mansions and end up selling each other out to not go to prison. There is not one person to feel sorry for in the story except for the viewer. Doc should've been 2 parts max. Only saving Grace was the 2 reality producers literally laughing at everyone while everything is falling apart. Had a solid message in the end, but it doesn't seem these people learned a thing and are still obviously very proud of their endeavors. But it's also hilarious to think these millionaires were in some way effected by a few stolen handbags and Rolex's.

The whiny teenagers and crazy mother of the reality show that intertwined with the actual thefts made this very difficult to watch. I had to shut it off half way through episode two.

I'm sure the timeline and how the burglaries played out are interesting but I just couldn't handle how the reality show of the three girls and the mom were pulled in. The over inflated egos and self entitlement and thinking they are larger than life gave me a headache. To top it off there was so much he said, she said. It's really not worth the watch and I'm not sure why they even pulled this story out of the vault again. Reboot that failed, I guess.

A docu about and starring vile horrible people. Dont be fooled, this is not a crime-docu... this is mainly about Fame-thirsty hollywood-wannabes who only thinks about money and want to talk 95% about their wannabe-lives and 5% about their crimes, with the exception perhaps Nick, who actually seem proud of his crimes.

The docu has some sort of pop-style narrative, focusing on it being cool to become a celeb, more than actually focusing on the people actually getting robbed, and the people commiting a number of crimes, without ANY remorse, lying and telling different versions. The remorse coming from Alexis seems more fake than anything else.

It is watchable, though, as a view into the extreme narcissism of these people who honestly should have been put away a LOT LONGER in jail than what they ended up getting. Shameful.

A group of bored teenagers have the ingenious idea of robbing the homes of Hollywood celebrities whene they have announced on social media that they plan to be away. The motivation isn't even getting rich per se, but because they can. Eventually they get caught. But instead of pleading for mercy, they try to leverage their fame by shooting a fake-reality TV show based on their experiences. Sofia Coppola starts making a movie about the story before the court case is even complete. The prospect of heavy sentences ends when it is discovered that a leading figure in the investigation is already working as a paid advisor to Coppola. The celebrity victims also cooperate with Coppola, milking the opportunity for further self-promotion. Finally, most of those involved appears in this documentary, displaying neither a sense of responsibility nor any sense of self-awaeness. It's both fascinating and terrible; and the documentary makers are well-aware they are adding to the general terribleness, and don't care either. The series is watchable enough, but if everyone involved was consigned to obscurity hereafter, it might not be such a bad thing.
