The Curious Case of...

If you're looking for gritty true crime documentaries or even docu-drama this is soooo not it!!

A bunch of salacious glossy BS. If it were part of a meal it would be the amuse-bouche: small, pretty, but just a bit of puff that's leaves you wanting a main dish.

This is just horrible. Filled with supposition and intentional misdirection that any lawyer who wasn't ejected from the darkened bowels of Disneyland wouldn't touch. The courtroom is no place to work out your own childhood "trauma", darling, so get ride of the pink mouse ears.

The whole show only shines a harsh light on how ignorant the US has become.

Tabloid-style fake caring riddled with hypocrisy. This show criticizes people for seeking the limelight while shamelessly doing the same.

The first episode promises to focus on Bam, but it's painfully clear they didn't have enough material to carry the story. Instead, it rehashes tired Britney Spears narratives and shifts the spotlight onto a couple of ancillary characters who add little to the overall narrative.

What could have been an insightful exploration instead feels like a shallow attempt to exploit viewers' curiosity without offering anything meaningful or new.

MAX has fallen a great deal.

The first and hopefully last episode is supposed to tell us the story of bam matters but instead follows two psycho chicks and the beef they have against each other. I was following along with the whole BJ and Lima bit thinking it was just a little bit of background, but instead it was basically about them the whole episode. It was entertaining for the first 20 minutes or so when it delved into bans story and gave us some insight from Steve-o, but then just followed it up with trash afterwards. It was a complete waste of time, and whoever made this needs to have their degree or whatever they needed to make this dumpster fire revoked.

This feels like complete satire and so sad it is not. We are expected to demonize the woman who came up with a possible mental health solution because she does not have a degree and looks pretty? Because the crazy lawyer (?) with Pom poms in her hair and obsession with Britney Spears believes it was a conspiracy? Terrible programming. Tone deaf given our current state of affairs in the nation. I was looking for something more uplifting/kind.

It was so bad that I, someone that has never rated anything on IMDb, felt compelled to let everyone else know.

Not sure what that to say here but please don't waste your time. And HBO, SMH.

Granted I'm only twenty minutes into the first episode about Bam Margera, but my initial reaction is how seriously this show wants to take people that honestly don't seem to know what they're doing or talking about. First you have Lima who watches Bam go on a rampage or listens to his mother yearn to have her son back, and this so called professional just stands there like a deer in headlights, with a complete look of bafflement on her face. She's the shining example of being in over your head.

Next we meet a YouTuber/influencer/apparent lawyer who can't even remember the oath she swore to become a lawyer. She has all the credibility of a homeschooled professional. She complains that people don't take her seriously while very much sounding like someone that shouldn't be taking seriously. She's also got pink panda ears in her hair which makes her look like a middle school girl fighting for attention.

I'm not really sure what the goal of this series is, but at the onset it is less an intent of journalistic integrity and more a sleezy tabloid show taking advantage of some truly weird people who have no idea they're being used.
