Toxic

I love this show. It's phenomenal and relevant! Sadly, the very reasons why this show was created is why there are any negative reviews at all. I applaud Elizabeth and her efforts. I believe that Elizabeth is being targeted much like the people she is defending, making the content all the more believable and understood. It takes courage to be a woman on the fighting side of injustice and I look forward to supporting the show in any way I can. Let's educate ourselves and become better advocates. Hopefully, justice comes a bit swifter with renewed awareness around the topics of harassment and violence.

Toxic is a gripping and emotionally raw docu-series that sheds light on the complexities of domestic violence, control, and emotional abuse in relationships. The storytelling is intimate and powerful, and it does an excellent job of highlighting how abuse can often hide in plain sight. The interviews are heartfelt and the production quality is strong.

That said, there is a noticeable gap in the series that can't be ignored: its complete lack of racial and cultural diversity. All of the featured individuals are Caucasian, which unfortunately presents a limited and incomplete picture of domestic violence. Abuse is not bound by race, class, or culture-and when entire communities are missing from the narrative, it sends a message, intentional or not, that their experiences are less valid or invisible.

Many Black, Brown, Indigenous, and immigrant survivors face additional systemic barriers and cultural pressures that shape their abuse and their ability to seek help. By not including those voices, Toxic misses a valuable opportunity to deepen the conversation and reach a broader audience who need to see their realities reflected too.

In short, while Toxic is worth watching for its emotional depth and important subject matter, I hope future installments-or other creators-expand the lens to truly reflect the full spectrum of survivors and stories.

It's very rare I write a review here but it's clear this is getting review bombed by Armie lovers. Please don't listen to the misleading 1-2 stars. This show is coming out weekly so those reviewing it as a whole show shows the blatant disrespect. I had no idea who this host was and after the first episode I googled her, it's the only reason I was able to connect her story. She's truly shining a light onto victims and survivors as a journalist who's been there but not interjecting any of her personal story.

I genuinely wish she would do an episode on her story because she HAS been there and while it's clear she's coming from a place of empathy, I'd love to know more.

With that being said, the candor of this show is amazing and so beautiful to see. It's incredibly hard to watch but shines a lot on the stories so many women have to deal with. Whether it's the abuse or the injustice of our society and police departments.

I'm truly astounded by this show and cannot wait for more episodes to come out and applaud the host for retaining the light to shine on each victims individual story.

Before starting this show I had no idea who Elizabeth Chambers was. Immediately upon starting the first episode I knew this was really about her and not the people whose stories she was supposed to be sharing. Instead, we get to see her sitting on a couch with a full frozen face of makeup posing like she's in some kind of reality tv show. Victims are sharing their stories and the camera cuts to her literally just shaking her head. If you want to be on tv that's fine but don't do it under the guise of helping people. She truly seems like a vapid narcissist and these victims and their stories deserve so much better.

Wow, thank you for exposing the system and what the survivors of abuse go through. I thought I was just slipping through the cracks in the system, but this story is so similar to mine and I am starting to realize it is the SYSTEM that allows it. You are brave, you are bold and you are making a difference. Thank you.

People, pay attention. These crazy people exist and they are not rare unicorns. They are master manipulators. The courts and systems allow it and know EXACTLY what is happening. Don' t give up, you are amazing and will overcome, you will become stronger. Your experience will encourage others!!!!!!
