The Curious Case of...

I thought I was watching a documentary on Bam Margera. Instead I got a scattered mess of self absorbed no-name Millenial girls with mental health problems trying to promote their own stories, brands, and companies.

Hbo really missed the mark with this one. I supposed I should have checked the imdb score before starting this show.

Whoever directed this should find another line of work because this is one of the worst docs I have ever seen.

I would say that over 75% of this documentary was off topic and unrelated to Bam Margera at all.

The VR girl and the Legally Blonde attorney both need conservatory themselves...

2/10 🗑

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.

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.

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.
