This movie was a ride! I enjoyed it in all of its ridiculousness. Do not be mistaken though, this is hardly a thriller-- or a mystery. The twists, turns, and offensive/dated tropes are all completely predictable. No real surprises here. Just a low budget Tubi movie. If you enjoy those, then you'll enjoy this. Bad acting, horrible writing, use of the same props in different scenes, everyone addressing the star of the movie as "Ms.", despite the fact that she is a doctor. Seriously, why was no one addressing her as a doctor? The age difference between the two stars was apparently supposed to be a pretty big gap, though they are clearly close in age.

I watched this because it popped up on Netflix. I vaguely remember some celebrities having their homes broken into, but I don't remember hearing much of anything about those who committed the break-ins/burglaries. I never heard of "The Bling Ring", whether it be the ragtag bunch of criminals we learn about in this docuseries-- or the subsequent movie named after them.

What we see here is a poorly directed and edited series, that is reminiscent of the days of E! Whether or not this production was meaning to pay homage to that era of pop culture or not, is not known to me. The he-said, she-said scenes are so cringy and uncomfortable-- they really play things up for the camera.

Hard to take the criminals in this series at all seriously. They are each given their moment to reflect on their prior decisions, and speak on how they feel about their actions today, looking back. Given that both Alexis and Nick decided to be part of this series where they speak openly (and sometimes not so openly) about their part in FELONIES committed, shows that they haven't come very far very-- they are still seeking that fame.

We get to meet Alexis' mom Andrea, who is an absolute TRIP. I have never heard someone make so many "me" statements. The way she tries to present herself would make you think that she isn't being interviewed about crimes her daughter committed.

The producers of Alexis' ill-fated reality show are in this... for some reason? Their commentary is gross, and listening to them makes me glad that toxic reality tv isn't as prevalent as it was in the 00's.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend watching this. It comes across as unapologetic and superficial.

Hokey, hard to believe, and downright laughable at times but I found myself enjoying it. Judith Light is an underrated treasure of our time. She does an amazing job (as usual). I'll watch anything with her. This story did not go the direction I expected, which was somewhat a pleasant surprise.

Some scenes felt very repetitive and unnecessary, while it would have been nice to see other elements added. Disappointing to include some characters early on in the movie, then just have them drop off with only a mere suggestion of why. Still, I'd recommend.
