this lady sucks burn in hell b*tch! but i kinda dont like the place this ends up at where it's decided that the men she manipulated are less culpable for their involvement in the crime b/c she's a "master manipulator"? if you're a member of a murder party where you strap a bomb to another person, you're kind of.........a piece of shit?? is that a controversial claim??? theres too many components to this story and the threads kind of just drop away in the docuseries never to be found again, its not that great!!
alsooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it shows footage of brian wells' murder twice and photographs of it in the final episode just a fyi
this documentary made me realize that humans are scarier than any entities we’ll ever fear
For someone who tells you that they’re incredibly intelligent every five seconds, she really planned the stupidest fucking bank robbery of all time.
Slight spoilers, maybe? I’m not the first to point this out, but it’s truly bizarre and fucked up that this sums itself up with an implication that Marjorie was the “mastermind” and Bill Rothstein was just some lovesick lackey. They were absolutely equal in their sickness and crimes. And they both acted out of narcissism, obsessed with their own perceived intelligence and ability to outsmart everyone, and inability to understand consequences outside of themselves. Which is why I don’t trust anyone who seems confident. It may not always lead to murder, but anyone who never doubts that they’re right about everything is fucking dangerous, I think. I could be wrong.
Anyway, this documentary was interesting and I liked it, but it had some issues.
An actual quote spoken by the psychopathic main subject of this series: "I've killed TWO boyfriends. Why would I hire Ken Barnes to kill my father...when I could do it for free myself? CMON! Be reasonable."
this just doesn't have the stakes or depth needed to warrant a miniseries. It lacks the interesting/complexly drawn people, scope, and broader societal implications that true crime miniseries like wild wild country, making a murderer, the keepers, and the jinx have that make them so compelling. It also doesn't seem to have anywhere near the level of research or any sort of aesthetic/cinematic style, making it feel like an overly stretched out 60 minutes or dateline episode. The bar for true crime docuseries is…
