Bad Vegan: Would you believe it?

Bad Vegan is one more real crime documentary from Netflix, and I got to tell you: it gets weird.

It is a story about con artists and liars, and it is so elaborated that you almost can’t believe it’s real. So, prepare yourself for some truly bizarre things.

Who is he?

According to Sarma’s story, she fell in love with this man who acted like he was some sort of a special, superior being. He was no human, and he had some kind of mission and, of course, special powers. And, IF she submitted to all his craziness, he would make her dog immortal!

Yes, you read right. That man would make her dog immortal. So, the first question popping into my mind was, “How?” How was it possible for her to believe this? No one is so naive, and I refuse to believe she was that stupid.

Whatever his real name is, that man is a con artist with a gambling problem who found a silly woman. But was she? It’s hard to believe.

While watching the show, you’ll probably say (or think) more than once, “What the…?”

Disturbing

Nonetheless, it wasn't his superior power or the dog's immortality that disturbed me. I’m aware that there are people out there so desperate to be loved, or to have their problems solved, that they would believe in anything. Well, almost… but still.

What was more disturbing in the show were the supposed phone calls he made to her. It can make you feel nervous only by listening to it. He sounds like a psychotic lunatic. He’s scary.

She never seems scared, though. She never seems… anything. She doesn’t seem dumb enough to believe that crap; she doesn’t seem afraid enough to accept it out of fear… who the hell is she?

Is she the victim?

In the end, the question that remains is: was she really a victim? Is she a liar? Is she in denial? Does she really believe what she says? Is it really possible for someone to be brainwashed like that?

It would be interesting if we had the other version of the story: his. However, the documentary shows her point of view. Therefore, it is not impartial at all. In any case, if you want to have a slight idea about how crazy this story is, you must watch it.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor. The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability. Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
