My Crazy Ex

It's obvious that my crazy ex isn't exactly on the level however what " reality" show is? While it can be a bit cheesy it is a lighthearted sometimes a bit R rated look at the red flags that we refuse to acknowledge when starting a new relationship. Wish this show was on about 20 years ago maybe i wouldn't have been blinded by the lust like some of the crazies depicted on this show.

I enjoyed this show, purely for the outrageous stories, are they all real? Make your own mind up, perhaps exaggerated in some scenes, but I don't doubt folk have had ex partners very similar to these stories. Sit back and enjoy the comical side, being grateful that it wouldn't happen to you, or could it?

The actors/actresses in the actual reenactments are almost as bad as the actors in the confessions which tells "their story." I had to dig further to validate my suspicion that they were in fact actors... surely I was right. I don't understand why they would pretend to have the victims on there, except if they might not feel comfortable showing their face and that's why.there's the option of appearing in silhouette or blurring out faces to protect identity. The show would be so much better if they didn't use actors (terrible ones) to tell these stories. The corny music in the background is just ridiculous. Great idea for a television show but it could be done better.

I can only imagine the people that hate this show watched it in hopes of seeing decapitated bodies at the bottoms of rivers .

This is light hearted, sincere and has a good sense of humor..I love it!!

For me, it was pretty obvious early on that the people who are telling their stories are actors. I've watched enough true crime/reality shows to be able to tell when someone's story is scripted. Although I will say that the actors do get better in later episodes - to the point that I sometimes forget they're actors.

It's not like the show is specifically trying to trick people. There's a difference between "inspired by" and "based on". The show says that the stories are "inspired by true events". The operative words here are "inspired by" - meaning the idea was only *triggered* by a real situation/person, but it doesn't follow the trajectory of the true story and really may only contain the essence of it. "Based on", however, means that it's much more of an accurate accounting of the true story.

More than anything, I was pleasantly surprised as I was expecting another somewhat-disturbing true crime show, and then found myself cracking up at the absolutely crazy, hilarious stories.
