First of all: I am a fan of TBBT, so the idea of the show sounded interesting to me from the get go, and I like Sheldon Cooper, sue me 🤷‍♀️. That's enough to get you hooked if you give it enough time. The first couple episodes might seem too slow, or it might seem like the actors are still getting used to their parts, and that's because all that's true, but it is so worth the small wait!

The thing is, the star of the show is not our Young Sheldon, the stars end up being all the whimsical people that surround him. Die hard fans of TBBT that don't want to see any inconsistencies with what was said in the original series might be a little upset, but personally, I am not.

I love Meemaw, Missy, Georgie and even Sheldon's father grows on you. They're all fully developed characters living their own lives and it just enriches the show even more!

The reason I didn't give this a 10 was the last season. I am not sure why they had to wrap it up in what seemed a rather quickly pace, I know Sheldon was growing etc but it seems the writers/directors were worried about the fans complaining about the inconsistencies I mentioned before, and tried to wrap it up as best as they could while rushing.

I laughed more on a single episode on any other season than I did throughout the entirety of season 7, and then when things were supposed to be actually really sad, moments fell surprisingly flat.

Anyway all this just to say I'll prob rewatch it several times as a comfort show, just not the last season :D.

I am not sure I can finish this, they're interviewing these women that still fully believe in Warren Jeff. I kid you not, one of these women said "Uncle Warren just wanted to protect us" "the only thing he did that got some people agitated was to make us follow the rules" ... I am genuinely in disbelief. Way too much focus on the happy times and too little focus on this man having relations with children! I don't know if I should pity these women or blame them for letting these awful things happen right in front of their eyes and being brainwashed enough to sit here now and tell us how it was a magical time in their lives, like huuuh??????

POWERFUL watch, specially now. Certain quotes will stay with me forever. It's so rare to find the kid's side of the story in this conflict, they're constantly used as media lure but no one hears FROM THEM.

Here you see them telling their story through their eyes, you don't hear much of the incidents, just enough. What they really focus on is the aftermath, the impact this has on people too young to fully understand what's happening.

Perfect, for people who don't understand what the situation was prior to the latest events, really shows you the hopelessness these children were already living in.

I didn't really learn anything new from the documentary, I was expecting a web of lies to be exposed on Russ, or for it to have more appalling footage that would make other people aware of how crazy things can get there. It seemed bland for the content you were working with, it could've been more shocking to draw a bigger audience which would probably have the ratings here a little bit higher too.

I was really hoping they were going to focus on the fact that Russ is obsessed with filming everything and where is the most extreme footage going to? How is he funding all this? I feel like we all know the answer to these questions and were hoping the documentary would provide proof of it.

Could be a little bit more fast paced, no?

I'm rather desensitized to true crime, but even I thought this documentary was a bit insensitive. There was barely any talk about the victims and the people they interviewed basically vouched for the killer, praising him and at times almost. It's upsetting, honestly.

I think considering the amount of victims, witnesses, hearsay, personnel involved, the same place used and same people being targeted, everyone agrees that the police dropped the ball, maybe they should've focused more on that? If you're not gonna focus on the killers life, on any of the victims lives, then focus on what went wrong, right?

They set a premises of mystery and suspense that gets you so excited for what's about to come! The story seems like a relatively new concept too. Unfortunately, from then on we get a cliche of a teenage horror movie, people die when you think they're gonna die, no more surprises and the ending is beyond disappointing, it's almost like they ran out of money for production in the last 20 minutes of the movie.

Besides all of this, the amount of nudity and sexualization of the teenage girl (I know the actress is not a teenager) in the movie is so unnecessary, in some scenes I understand how it could be used to cause disturbance to the viewers but most of the nude or sexual scenes were completely uncalled for and pointless to the actual story with it's only intention being value of shock which loses its purpose when used that frequently!!

I'm typing this and the movies still has 18 minutes left because I'm so bored. Everyone got off the couch, even my dogs 😅 it's just so obvious from the beginning, there's nothing innovating or shocking or mysterious about this movie. Anyone that has seen more than 2 horror movies or 1 psychological thriller in their lifetime can guess the full plot within 20 minutes of the movie. Then they just keep repeating several scenes, over and over again, it got absolutely unbearable and extremely obvious.

I gave it 4 stars only because I got 2 jump scares during it, props to the editing for that, considering one of the scares was just birds flying away lol.

I thought the whole plot was so innovating! I have not seen any movies like this, everything about it was brand new to me! And the comical parts were on point! I really don't know why the overall rate for Ma here is 5, but that movie might've even been a 9 on my book! The performance by Octavia Spencer as Sue Ann was spectacular! I usually can't stand comedy/horror but this was great! She was hilarious but also scary (?) it was a hard role to play and I think she killed it!

Like I previously said, this was the first time in a long time where all the elements in a movie seemed new and were still as surreal and shocking as some of the old concepts we're used to!

I'm not sure all this hate is called for... as a fan of the Scream franchise, I enjoyed the movie! It's a lot like the first Scream movies, several plot twists, several suspects, fast paced, a web of lies falling apart quite quickly that explain part of the story while also leaving you with more questions. I think the dissatisfaction mainly comes from the people that saw this in the theaters and in 3D and thought it was not worth it, and I'll agree with that part, if I had watched this in the movie theater and payed extra to get 3D, I would've been disappointed too.

In conclusion: Good horror flick that follows a similar story line to Scream, but I'm not complaining!
