Depp V Amber - the unbelievable before your eyes

The Depp V Amber trial was one of the latest (and biggest) worldwide scandals, and Netflix couldn't risk missing out. Hollywood star Johnny Depp took his ex-wife, Amber Heard, to court for defamation after she claimed to have been a victim of domestic violence.

I didn't follow the trial then, but I couldn't avoid hearing a couple of things. Everything I heard then sounded ridiculous, and I decided not to watch those videos.

Everything sounded slightly absurd, and as Johnny Depp's fan, I didn't want to believe he would do such things, but at the same time… who knows?

The Documentary

When I first saw that there was a documentary about all of it on Netflix, I didn't give it much importance. Everything was finished, and why explore that even more? So, I ignored it for a while.

Eventually, I got curious, so I hit the watch now button.

“Really?”

This was my most asked question while watching the whole thing. There was so much absurd stuff, all exposed like a giant circus everywhere. The entire situation was ridiculous. There were many crazy things, and sometimes, it made me speechless.

I'm not here to judge any of them again, but the documentary. I liked to watch it; it gave me a good understanding of what happened there. I read some critics who said it favors Amber's point of view. Honestly, I don't think it did.

Sure, Johnny did very condemnable things, but she did them too. She looked a little crazy and vindictive most of the time. She was caught lying or telling some half-truths more than once, and let's face it, it did not look good for her.

Was the trial fair?

The documentary's final moments were made to make us think about the whole situation. It wasn't especially enlightening or insightful. My conclusions were that they were terrible for each other, and there was a tremendous lack of respect in their relationship. It is a shame.

About the documentary itself? Depp V Amber is not worth your time.

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.

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...
