The Curious Case of...

The woman making comments is Beth Karas, she is an attorney and senior reporter or TruTV. She's worked on super high profile cases so if you haven't seen her, that's on you.

Anyway. I like the show. Each episode is different, some are better than others. Documentary style. Lot of hate in the reviews from the first episode but clearly nobody watched where this show came from in the first place. It's exactly what I expected from this show, the design, the information, the way they shape the stories. Exactly as expected if you have seen Beth and if you have watched the OG show.

You're all a bunch of whiners.

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.

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.

Aside from the stories being uninteresting, the episodes being full of weird hippie types and each episode seems to go on forever, Beth Karas just gets more and more grating as time goes on.

Most docuseries have a different "expert" for each car, if not multiples per episode. But they just have Karas through the entire season. She doesn't really add any expertise or first hand knowledge of a case, she just recaps what was said in the prior 4 minutes.

The whole series seems low budget and amateurish. Usually MAX docs are really good, this feels like something from a 2nd rate cable network. Just bad.

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...
