    Hey. Supporter

    I’m a true crime buff and this case has fascinated me for years. Joey King is incredible in this.

    I’m on episode 3 and this show is so intriguing and I have no idea the real life events and I’m trying hard not to look it up. I can’t wait 4 and a half weeks for the final episode to air. From the first post I’ll definitely check the doc once I finish the series.

    Joey King is so good in this. The part in episode 2 where she loses her teeth was so heartbreaking

    He wrenches on it. He thinks it's his.

    My girlfriend mistakenly called this show “The Event” and it makes us laugh every single time we see the promos.

    We are excited to eventually watch this since the HBO documentary was mind blowing.

    Nick's hairstyle is incredibly unnerving.

    Episode 5 gave me so much anxiety for some reason

    Oh hey thread, didn't know you existed. This show is v v good. It's making me HATE Patricia Arquette aka she is killing her role as is Joey King.

    She really disappears in that role, especially since I just watched True Romance couple weeks ago

    The Torment of Existence Supporter

    I got 2 episodes into this and kind of gave up. It's definitely a compelling situation that happened IRL, but the show seems too slow-moving, and I'm not a fan of how dramatized it is and the fictional liberties they took in a true story.

    Plus, the show's creator fucked Gypsy over. They were in talks with her and her stepmother, and said they'd get paid for it, and then the creator just stopped all communication with them once the show began, even sending Gypsy's stepmother a letter back that she wrote, unopened.

    Me and my girlfriend both pointed and yelled “beloved character actress Margo Martindale” when she walked in.

    Edit: then gasped in unison when A Land Before Time was on the tv
     
  19. Super late to this, but I'm starting it now.

    You inspired me to do a rewatch. Watching episode 2 now and like my post above says... don’t eat too much sugar and always brush your teeth

  21. This is good so far. I don't know much about the real life events, so I'm interested to see where all this goes.

    Literally went to go brush my teeth after that ep :teethsmile:

    Keep at it! I was in your shoes a year ago, the story is nuts!

  24. Finshed. Great show, great performances. Assuming the broad strokes of the plot are accurate to the real life events, I have mixed feelings about it all. Such a bizarre story.

    If you have HBO, watch Mommy Dead and Dearest. Features interviews with Gypsy.
