The Curious Case of...

Aside from the stories being uninteresting, the episodes being full of weird hippie types and each episode seems to go on forever, Beth Karas just gets more and more grating as time goes on.

Most docuseries have a different "expert" for each car, if not multiples per episode. But they just have Karas through the entire season. She doesn't really add any expertise or first hand knowledge of a case, she just recaps what was said in the prior 4 minutes.

The whole series seems low budget and amateurish. Usually MAX docs are really good, this feels like something from a 2nd rate cable network. Just bad.

The woman making comments is Beth Karas, she is an attorney and senior reporter or TruTV. She's worked on super high profile cases so if you haven't seen her, that's on you.

Anyway. I like the show. Each episode is different, some are better than others. Documentary style. Lot of hate in the reviews from the first episode but clearly nobody watched where this show came from in the first place. It's exactly what I expected from this show, the design, the information, the way they shape the stories. Exactly as expected if you have seen Beth and if you have watched the OG show.

You're all a bunch of whiners.

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.

BJ needs to get her head checked. It is concerning that she is able to practice law.

Talking about how she cares about people and wants the real truth to get out. It is clear she has never dealt with someone who has mental health issues. They make stuff up, they hallucinate, they don't know what is real or fake.

Just because someone says something doesn't automatically make it the truth.

Sit back, do some real research and educate yourself on mental health before attacking people and their family.

As for Lima, I am sure her intentions were good and I personally don't feel she was involved in the death of Amanda but I do think she needs to get some credentials herself before subjecting people to her "treatment".

Both these ladies need to step out of the limelight and focus on being better humans.

They're embarrassing.

Mostly BJ though. She makes me sick to my stomach.

She's the opposite of Elle Woods the way she goes around attacking people and setting her psycho followers after people as well.

BJ needs to seek mental health treatment herself.

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.
