I've got mixed feelings about this documentary. Partly because it's stated multiple times throughout that he wanted peace and to leave celebrity behind. But, the true point of it was to show just how talented he was and that he was so much more than his infamous character Arnold. He was let down by so many people, including the public, who refused to see him any other way.

This documentary highlights his health condition, his talent, his relationships, and the people who either truly or possibly loved him. That's for each one of us watching to decide. I'm leaving it with the point of the documentary. He was so very talented and it was so unfortunate that he never had the opportunity to show us his full range.

I read a few reviews after binging the entire series in one sitting... a lot of them say it's unrealistic. Well duh, most things on television are. But the moral of the story is there: be yourself, love yourself and believe in yourself and you can do anything.

I was transported into this world and cheered for Harriet every step of the way. These characters were life like and I believed them....all. Harriet, Nat, the parents, Wilbur, and Betty. Even the 'mean' characters are believable because we've all met people that want to tear us down all along the way. Oh and the actress who is Yugi Lee is awesome!

Harriet being bullied needing a change and being able to is something that anyone in the same situation wants. The overwhelming feeling of things being too much and needing to escape which is so real to so many. Her journey is lovely.

Story: 5 - not original, but heartwarming.

Acting: 9 - believable lifelike characters Writing: 7 Clothing: 10 - seeing pretty clothing is always enjoyable. Although all of the show nylon is way weird and I thought only something that my grandmother would do.
