TLDR

“The detectives were bumbling buffoons, as well as, unfortunately, dishonest."

What it's about

This docuseries covers four cases of domestic abuse and extreme, criminal behavior from ex-partners.

The take

This is a pretty easy premise to invest in: psychotic exes. They don’t fumble the bag, either, giving us a series that takes an active stance against a justice system that is often asleep at the wheel in these cases, and spotlights the victims more than anything else which creates some semblance of hope in a tragic genre. The abusive cycle of manipulative behavior is insane—some people just never find fault in themselves or their logic—and the series captures the escalating frustration in the stories. Still, some outcomes give you immense comfort, and when it comes to this genre, that’s a huge win.

What stands out

The animations are akin to Mort or similar creepy animation channels on Youtube, which is a nice little detail for eerie story fans in general.
