Worst Ex Ever

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!

This is well put together series, expertly edited with a strong narrative to each episode. It's easy to binge these shows not just because they are so concisely edited and filmed but the stories are compelling.

However, it should be noted that the victims, their families and friends, demonstrate a naivete that borders on stupidity. Each victim, and most of their friends and families had all the clues about their perpetrators behavior but look the other way. In a country where millions voted for a president who is abusive and a criminal, it comes at no surprise that these victims have been so easily manipulated.

Anybody with early insight into the true nature of these abusers are dismissed. It's not just a story of people being misled and abused but of a country too often allowing themselves to be misled and abused.

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.

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.

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.
