Fear Thy Roommate

Recently got addicted to this true crime show. The re-enactments are half decently acted and I've never heard of any of these cases before. I was surprised at how quickly things escalated in most of these cases to full on evil-hatred. :o Yeah, I've had a few roommates in the past, but didn't last long cause I can't live with slobs and inconsiderate people either. I left long before I had an urge to kill them. ;O The lesson I learned was don't invite people to move into your house, cause much to our horror if they don't wanna leave, you are screwed, even if you own the house. (which I find surprising and wonder why there are not laws in place that allow you to get them out ASAP if they are trashing your place, not paying any rent, food or utilities and especially when they become threatening and violent.) If they would make some decent laws regarding these living situations, A lot less people would be dead and a lot of future deaths could be avoided.

My wife and I watch all the crime shows. This one is extremely irritating. My wife pointed out it may be the writing and that they are trying to create more drama. Call me petty, but what really irritated me was when they used the term "cool and calculated." My son repeated it. I corrected him and said it was "cruel and calculated." He said he saw the word "cool." I said that makes no sense, so I took it back and the close caption said "cool," proving my 8 YO was correct...I'm trying to teach my children the English language...cool, cruel, and cold mean different things. When I see fireworks, I say "Cool!" Not "cruel" or "cold." The irritation of the first episodes boiled over into this debate which has led us to never watching this show again. I'm sure you will have many more cruel, I mean cool murders.

In one episode they interview the daughter of a woman who had killed and mutilated her "friend" and she was smiling through the whole interview! Simply awful.
