Review by ree-bee103

Based on a True Story

7/10

Binged season 1 but...not good for the soul

I enjoyed the first couple of episodes and found them witty and exciting. As the show progressed, the tendency to just shock the audience with morally atrocious scenes just started to grind on me, but I was too heavily invested in the plot by the point to stop.

I do wonder why society is so obsessed with serial killers and this show didn't answer that question, it just sort of added to the phenomenon but with a slightly self-conscious tone.

I most enjoyed the occasional sweet moments between the couple. But I was also disturbed by the society portrayed in this show - these beautiful homes and beautiful clothes but the people don't seem to live for any purpose other than to party, enjoy spending money and compare themselves to each other.. that was a little sad.

The acting was good, the production good, it was definitely well made and did keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
