I could barely stomach one episode of this. I realize there's a bit of morbid voyeurism involved with watching just about anything to do with true crime, and that could even be said about watching the news at times.
However, watching this show felt more like watching an episode of VH1's "I Love The 80s" or something similar. The levity involved is disturbing. It's a show about someone's daughter being murdered, but some of the people being interviewed make it sound more like the latest gossip that we as the viewer now get to be privy to.
Mainly it's the "experts" they interview, if that's what they even are, who seem to be smirking throughout and saying pointless things that everyone already knows like, "mean girls are known for singling out and ostracizing other girls."
This is what was reminiscent of I Love The 80s. These people reminded me of the comedians and actors they bring in to add humourous commentary to what would otherwise be a boring segment about the Rubik's Cube. Except this isn't a Rubik's Cube. This was someone's life. This was someone's baby girl, no matter how mean they ended up being as a teen.
I found it disgusting that not only could the showrunners not treat this subject with at least some gravity, but they go as far as seemingly making light of it in that we all now get to be entertained by what happened. It's horrendous in my opinion, and I wish Max would stop recommending this show to me. I've been trying to forget it exists.
