Os Piores Ex

As far as thrills and adrenaline rushes go, I think that Worst Ex Ever was much more effective than Worst Roommate Ever. These stories were horrifying because of both the ongoing DV, but also at how pathetic the police has been through time. It should NOT have to get the point of assault happening for these people to get some level of protection against their former partners!!! "Killing for Custody" was right out of a horror movie, but I was grateful for such a striking example of men being victims of DV as well. It's necessary representation, and I hope that others who watch this show leave with a better understanding of DV, DV warning signs, and the lasting impact these experiences have on survivors.

The cycle of abuse and victimhood never changes. It goes from sick disturbed person to disturb person and if people who have abuse in their lives have children they pass on the illness to them just like any hereditary disease. Either you become the monster or you become a victim to someone else. Sick ill people attract sick and ill people. People with healthy emotions, personal boundaries, grounded morals and values do not let sickos into their lives and sickos are not attracted to them because having a healthy mentality and emotions is like a force field against these kind of people. If you've grown up with an abusive or controlling or psychopathic caregiver it is part of your everyday life and you will not see signals and red flags from other disturbed people or other victims. If you ever find yourself in a situation from a man like this, He does not love you He does not care about you He is completely utterly using you and you have any shred of self-esteem and self-worth left reach out to every person possible for support, find government programs, involve yourself with the police and get yourself away.. your life may depend on it. It's also disgusting how the Justice system fails these people. Cops who don't want to listen or do their job. Victims who fear for their life and don't want to expose themselves further to the psychopath and then the law is just like oh well.. Let him go. So he can murder, torture and dismember more women. Please officers need to have a mandated psychology course and a firm understanding of behavior and abuse.

This is well put together series, expertly edited with a strong narrative to each episode. It's easy to binge these shows not just because they are so concisely edited and filmed but the stories are compelling.

However, it should be noted that the victims, their families and friends, demonstrate a naivete that borders on stupidity. Each victim, and most of their friends and families had all the clues about their perpetrators behavior but look the other way. In a country where millions voted for a president who is abusive and a criminal, it comes at no surprise that these victims have been so easily manipulated.

Anybody with early insight into the true nature of these abusers are dismissed. It's not just a story of people being misled and abused but of a country too often allowing themselves to be misled and abused.

The first episode is fantastic. That could even be a movie by itself. The second episode is pretty good too. It's extremely frustrating at times but man, what a masterpiece of psychopathy.

From there I was hooked, but then slammed to reality. The third episode is an extremely lonely introvert who makes bad decisions. It's not a bad episode necessarily, but not that interesting and ultimately kind of aggravating to watch.

By the fourth episode, you kind of feel they all just deserve each other. I don't want to sound cold hearted, but in the context of the show, they just aren't as interesting nor out of nowhere.

I'd probably watch the first two, skip the rest.

It's a finely made documentary series, with quite eerie and disturbing topic.

There's just one problem with it, and it's how producers of this documentary reasoned; if you have 30 minutes worth of a story, and you have a contract for a one hour episode, then by any sanity, you should just tell TWO of such stories to fill the time.

What did producers do? Create 30 minutes of cartoons to simply waste viewer's time.

Now, if the 30-minute story is not very good, and it's 30 minutes long, typical person would go, "meh, it was just 30 minutes, anyway". But if it's dragged out to a hour, not only did the person watch a poor story, but they also lost entire hour of their lifetime for no good reason.

So, while it's a fine documentary, everything's dragged out about twice the length it should be. Which is just utterly annoying.

I do not know why people who work for Netflix do this. One would assume that if you get a contract from major streaming platform, you'd try your best to be sane and reasonable and deliver a top product.

Guess I don't know something.
