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.

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
