Mommy Dead and Dearest — 1/5
Watching me reminds me I hate this true crime crap. The story is absolutely compelling, but the victim cannot have a say, and the criminals and everyone around them get cast in suspicion beyond the facts of the case. This shit is made for people on Facebook to say "the father should have done something" or "she's got the sociopathic tendencies of her mother." It's a genre that exists for you to debate the merits of people, to cast suspicion on everyone that touches the story. The cops, the doctors, the neighbors. Watching 'May December' recently reinforces my thoughts here—it's all just other people we get to talk about. It's socially acceptable gossip.
