I watched this documentary alone. I was too young during the media parade to remember the spins and twists what we were told to believe. I have worked on mental health for over ten years. With traumatized kids and those grown into adults.

These reviews are sad and a lot of the reason people w various trauma never tell anyone, seek help, and feel alone for their entire lives, whether or not their story ends up like Casey or not. One event trauma as an adult has an extremely different impact than recurring trauma experienced as a child as this doc explored. Casey likely has CPTSD but that's not a current dx in the US-just elsewhere. Well come around one day.

Either way the traumatized brain doesn't make "logical" sense. It doesn't mean she's a killer. This family has a multitude of toxic dynamics. If you're interested in learning more, read Running on Empty, Trauma Keeps the Score, etc. Society is also over using the word narcissist. She displays no narcissistic traits in this documentary. I hope eventually we will all be more educated in one of the great mysteries of the world. The human mind.

Boring waste of four hours to end up being "oh she was bipolar and didn't take her meds". No crime involved. Working in mental health this is pretty standard response to irregular med taking. There's not a story here. How did this get made???

This is mostly bad acting and unbelievable plot. 90% of the good acting is from the actors from the first series the rest are painfully awkward.

The plot doesn't make sense and isn't realistic. Meet your landlord the first episode, the next day you're hanging out all the time and they're best friends w your roommates too.

Everyone on the show is constantly having sex like they just met, but are in long term monogamous relationships instead of a focus on deep connection, perpetuating stereotypes. It just feels fake and Focused on being weird to be trendy than something different like the first series.

I tried with this show. I wanted a female based drama. I short-lived quit the show twice in season two be use Mary Jane was--and is--insufferable, but gave it another try.

The last straw was in the beginning of season three where someone kills themselves and Mary Jane continues to maintain her self absorbed, victim lifestyle with zero charicter growth within three seasons.

I couldn't take it anymore! I was hoping for change, not wanting to be a miserable woman like her mother. Not blaming her failed romances on the men in her life but seeing her own role in that failure, being a better friend, seeing her own alcoholism instead of projecting on her siblings for their issues, I don't know. Something, anything that was likeable about her, but unfortunately there is nothing. When she only thought of herself after a suicide I couldn't take anymore, especially when the show would have been better if she was the character who killed themselves off.
