From someone who watches hours upon hours of true crime shows, documentaries, and fictional television shows due to being chronically ill and unable to leave the house much - I have to say that the way each episode or story is told/presented is 85% better than most of the true crime shows out there today. Elizabeth did a great job interviewing families/victims/survivors and showing compassion and empathy throughout the series. Her ability to be genuine with people opens a lot of doors for her so I think she's able to get access to, and to get more out of people than many other journalists. Hoping for Season 2 and was disappointed season 1 was only 6 episodes. Worth the watch for you true crime aficionados.

This episode was just a reminder of why this is one of the best shows on TV. Not only is it's daring & outrageous comedy up there in the ranks of the greats like South Park and Chappelle Show, this show has the ability to connect with its audience emotionally. I've always praised this show for its ability to make me laugh and for its ability to touch me emotionally by empathizing with the characters' feelings of bereavement, grief, and loss, and this episode made me cry. I hope we get to see more of Aimee Leigh (Jennifer Nettles) this season as she brings such a great dynamic to the show. This show is brilliant!

This show demonstrates the undeniable need for mental health reform or maybe even reinstitutionalization for adolescents to young-adult aged at-risk individuals. Hearing the stories (and there are a lot in this show) from these parents who notice a change in their child once they are 10-20 years old (their child is becoming more violent, isolating themselves, their appearance changes etc.), and these parents seeking help for their child on multiple occasions just to have their fears/worries dismissed - only to find out later that their child has planned or engaged in a mass shooting event that ended with their child taking their own life was absolutely unreal and unacceptable. These parents KNOW their kids, and we need to find an adequate solution to their concerns. The guilt these parents feel about the lives their child took and the death of their own child afterwards (despite trying to get help for their child) was heartbreaking. Get it together United States because this all too common occurrence is preventable. A kid can buy a gun but not a beer? Seems pretty asinine and illogical to me. If we have to have guns in this country, can we make sure we're only making them available to the right people? Don't get me started. 'Merica 🙄
