I followed the court case via the dropout podcast and listened to her in her depositions.

When I started watching this show I was wondering which way they would portray her. At the start it did seem like they were going for the 'poor little girl' and 'men are mean.. old white men specifically' etc It kind of started to go more towards her own actions and knowing what she was doing was messed up but she just wanted to 'show everyone'.

I think the show went maybe 60/40 split in her favor. It seems they are perhaps pushing a PTSD narrative for her in some way.

There are some good actors in here and some.. not so good. Always great to watch Steve Fry in anything.. he is just so pleasing to watch and listen to.

The thing that hurt my soul to watch is the excessive need to have them dance a lot. It felt so out of place and very forced.. coupled with the horrendous awkwardness of it each and every time.

Overall I know there are parts that are not totally accurate but of course that's to be expected. Worth the watch either way.

Non show review related: I personally couldn't believe the verdict she got... thought it was going to be so much worse. Conveniently enough she wasn't charged for the worst of her crimes in this.

And I honestly think she had a kid during the trial to gain sympathy 'who would send this new mother to jail and part her from her new born child'.. I honestly believe it.

I would not be surprised if she serves no jail time and her rich family and friends wipe their asses with any money she has to pay.
