Watchseries; Grew up the town over. This psychotic animal doesn't need any more attention than she has already received. This isn't a learning experience for anyone. She should have been locked up longer.
Hollywood exploiting a disgusting story of someone who puppy dog faced their way to freedom. Screw Michelle Carter.

The Girl from Plainville watchseries. I have always been a bigger fan of documentaries rather than reenactments. For those of you who agree with that statement, just watch the HBO documentary "I Love You, Now Die." I started this and then realized how pointless it is to watch people re-enacting a story and there being "events that are dramatized" (as per the statement in the opening first episode) when you can just watch the real deal. Similar to The Dropout, where you can just watch The Inventor documentary about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes.
The whole point of this review is: if you're more into that way of filmmaking, I want to make sure you know that exists as well. This isn't the only way to get this story.
I have a hard time even focusing on reviewing the acting because I feel uncomfortable watching this story dramatized. I think this subject should have just stayed as a documentary ( I love you, now die).
Again, one of those series that are made to slow down cramp.
You want to build up character depth and tension, but you only get bored with me.
The actors play their roles ok, but it's wooden.
The story progresses slowly, and you wonder which crass situation will be really dragged out next.
Twin Peaks is terribly slow to tell, but at least it had depth and good actors.
Very sad but a very important subject, life is so tough for teens. The documentary was such a brutal watch, this series will be just as hard. Hope the families are ok with this portrayal of there kids. Again I'm enjoying this but it's a sad story of real life.
Elle Fanning does an amazing job on this - she portrays the desperate teen grasping for every bit of attention she can get superbly. As for the series, only three episodes in, so I can't comment on the plot in its entirety - but there are already such negative reviews on here from people that have probably watched ten minutes of it, so I wanted to balance it out and let people know that Elle's acting alone is a good enough reason to give this show a chance and the real life events it's based on make a great story.
