Before we get to my top 5 reasons to watch, let’s check out the trailer.
top 5 some reasons to watch
- you want to yell at the screen — because I couldn’t stop talking shit while the episodes played
- you want to be angry at law enforcement — because jfc, do your job
- you want to feel all of the emotions — from dread to anger to extreme sadness to relief
“I made it clear to him that it’s…it’s over between us. I thought that was it.”
okay, so maybe those reasons aren’t a selling point, but this series really is a rollercoaster. plus it feels a bit weird to give “top”reasons to watch when there are serious crimes happening here.
tw: talk of rape, graphic description of violence, crime scene photos, blood
huge thanks to netflix for the invite to watch this series. Worst Ex Ever is out today!
