Bad Vegan: Berühmt und betrogen

Another true crime mini-series by Netflix. Interesting documentary to a certain extent; overly dragged out though. I watched the entire series in one sitting, and while it was a decent documentary I thought it was a little dragged out from start to finish. This series could have been a lot better if it had been shorter.

I think the main appeal of this docuseries is to see how con artists are getting caught. We all hope that karma will pick up where human justice fails.

The question whether Sarma was guilty or not is moot, IMO. Like everyone, she is flawed, and at the very least she made some very bad decisions.

What's more interesting is the extent to which intelligent, educated individuals fall pray to scams, and are dragged into questionable deeds, and from there into worse situations.

In this debacle, I sympathize with Sarma's father, who seems the most decent fellow in the story, and the one with the clearest understanding of what happened. He admitted his daughter was on the run when she disappeared, and even recognized the fact that Sarma married Anthony for his money.

I definitely found this documentary worth watching.

4 episodes is way too long. There is so much redundancy or things that are drawn out. There is no twist, conclusion, or closure.

The series is absolutely biased toward Sarma. Most of it is her telling her side of the story - whether it's truth is another thing entirely.

Speaking of what's true or not, I can't wrap my head around someone actually believing the supernatural claims she supposedly did. Making her dog immortal? Making her some non-human queen? What?! And she doesn't even acknowledge that she believed those things, really. She brushes EVERYTHING off by basically saying "I don't know why, I just did though." I do find the story itself interesting to an extent. But this presentation is extremely overdrawn and very disingenuous and emotionally manipulative.

This could have been made a short movie or 2 episodes, instead it's 4 hour-long episodes. I can't in good conscience recommend anyone invest that amount of time into this.

These real life crime shows are stretching it ... well at least in this case. The Investigating Anna show was quite good - I think even those who thought it was a bit too long, saw the quality in it. And while this is only half as long (episode and especially running time wise) as that show - this feels even longer and ... well more boring.

No offense to those involved (guilty or innocent), but I feel like this could have been wrapped up in two episodes the most. Also do not expect there to be much of a likeability factor. Fans of this type of stuff may not care, but those who do not have time to waste, should stick to other stuff imho.

Bad guy,meets a stupid girl(becomes clear on her judgment skills,as you watch it)& together they do even worse things & eventually face consequences.. The end.

Honestly the only victims here was everyone but actually them,including the dog!

As a women & that's been in bad a relationship,eventually either you take some accountability and change things or you are responsible!

She had a business,was an adult & so much other nonsense but never tried stopping it.. therefore she wasn't a victim but only played a victim after it all came crashing down,to get some sympathy for her role in all this.

For those who feel she was brainwashed,if this was fact in even the slightest way.. Than how come she didn't seem genuinely remorseful,especially for those also hurt by all this?

It was odd how her meltdowns & more,was recorded as though to use later in some lame defense? She said that she was alone frequently while traveling,but yet never left or got help.

Had me wondering if she wouldn't of been a cute,white,blonde would she of been held more liable? It really seemed she had men especially brainwashed,if you listen to them during their interview parts.. I might be reaching to say that,but after hearing the homeless guy he seemed unhinged over her.

Again.. Why feel she wasn't a true victim,but only played that card at opportune times.

Is this watch worthy? Well,felt like a train wreck you can't look away from.. So enjoy!
