It's one of the worst documentaries. Before anything, this documentary had nothing new to add to what other docs and tv shows already covered. The documentary had the worst experts, speakers, and guests. They invited a bunch of women who adored "beautiful blonde" Jody. Dear all, we are in 2023. Beautiful blonde does not automatically make one beautiful. In one point, one of Travis' relatives tells the audiences that Jodi was wearing glasses and wasn't beautiful blonds anymore. Well, she added in a mandatory voice that she was still beautiful.
Further, the documentary sounded a bit victimblaming. Based on the doc, this woman did everything for this man, i.e. Changed her religion, accepted to have sex against her wishes, and moved for his convenience, yet Travis threw her away as soon as he found another person. Be careful of your narrative!
Finally, why should they add that one-time verbal abuse and support the abusive behaviour? Abuse is unacceptable. But the case shows their relationship was anything but perfect. So, there was no need to focus on this issue.

I am a voracious reader of true crime books but I have yet to read one on Jodi Arias. After watching this documentary, I am now interested enough in the woman to venture into one or more of the four that I have found.
The problem here is, once again, repetitive reenactments and numerous interviews with podcasters; does anyone on earth not have one? The crime "experts" state their obvious observations, and in between, we see Ms. Arias being interviewed by a cop as she denies any knowledge of her on again, off again boyfriend's death.
Jodi is certainly a damaged and compelling woman but I was bored by the unnecessary length of this film.
