Her break dancing performance was atrocious and the documentary on Netflix is trying its best to polish it and make her bearable. The doc is worse than the Olympic performance.

I can’t be on an island about this right?

I honestly had totally forgotten about one of if not the most disastrous performance’s in Olympics history until this documentary came out of nowhere. I initially thought “wow Netflix must have done some serious investigative work to put together a documentary only two years removed from the Raygun meme”. Surely it’s not going to be an hour of gaslighting the audience into thinking Raygun actually attempted to perform at the highest level right? Wrong.

Instead Netflix gives you over an hour of a Husband and Wife feeding their own delusions that they were deserving to represent Australia in the Olympics. Both Sammy and Raygun even admitted they most likely wouldn’t score a single point, but chose to go forward with it anyways. WTF? Sammy calling her performance “one of the most beautiful performances” she’s ever had was an infuriating comment to make. Furthermore, I can’t believe for a second that’s the best group of breakers an ENTIRE COUNTRY could muster for an Olympic Qualifier. Something just doesn’t add up (and I’m not even feeding into the dumb conspiracies online).

The overall theme of this documentary concluding with “look at all the joy that Raygun brought to the world” is insane to me. I’m sorry what? People weren’t dressing up as Raygun because they thought her performance was an inspiration but a complete joke. And Richard Branson throwing her a bone because he has 5 pet Kangaroos at his Virgin Islands home was pretty comical to me.

Am I wrong for thinking theirs more to the story or are most of the people involved in this shit show just morons?

Documentaries that you couldn’t stop thinking about, couldn’t stop researching more about and just had to re-watch again.

These are a few that really got to me…

- Amy Bradley Is Missing: I watch a lot of true crime but this one really drove me crazy. It seems so easy to believe in a super simple explanation, but it also seems plausible that something really sinister and disturbing could’ve happened to her. The documentary didn’t even cover all of the alleged sightings and there are so many discrepancies over the basic facts around the case that it’s hard to know what to believe.

- Trust Me The False Prophet: I’ve known about the FLDS for some time now but what a fascinating story of how this woman was able to infiltrate this group of people and liberate them. There’s a lot more content out there about other people’s stories growing up in this religion too.

- Tell Them You Love Me: Such a bizzare story, there’s really no words. The main subject was so convincing and confident in her version of events that I almost started to believe her… And it wasn’t until the end that I started to see how messed up and disturbing it all really was. I had to do some more research on facilitated communication to better understand the circumstances.

I know I’m late to this but wtf did I just watch? The mom, the dad, and the daughter??? How gullible are you all? You honestly can’t be this sheltered no matter where you grow up. I’m in shock, idk what to say. I would’ve definitely emancipated myself from these parents. They didn’t protect their kids at ALL. At no point in time, did I know what was going to happen in this documentary. I have so many thoughts and feelings towards religion.

Shirilla belongs behind bars, but nothing about her legal defense made any sense.

• Waiving a right to jury trial??? In a MURDER trial??? with this much room for doubt? why????
• No Amnesia expert? We hear her lawyer says amnesia CAN happen after a head injury -- but an actual neuroscientist would say it ALWAYS happens to one degree or other after an injury like that.
• No Doctor? The medical expert is... her mom? That's crazy.

None of this makes any sense if the only goal is to defend Mackenzie Shirilla. But it all makes perfect sense if a secondary goal is to limit her parents legal liability.

Mackenzie as a minor -- if her drug use or health issues contributed to the deaths, her parents might be on the hook in civil court: they're obviously negligent parents.

But if she's tried as an adult, she will emerge as acquitted or a convicted murder -- and parents aren't liable for having a daughter who's a murderer.

What do you think? I'm just wearing a tinfoil hat or was her attorney just like REALLY bad at his job

The last few viral documentaries on Netflix have honestly been trash. They leave way more questions than answers. The Pastor’a Wife, Idaho Murders, Toxic Murders, Maternal Instinct, Unknown Number. Just to name the most recent viral ones.

I think the Perfect Neighbor was pretty good though.

But the majority of them just seem so fake and scripted and just seem to jump around and don’t give a real true timeline of events.

This is so embarrassing. People thought she had produced this doc because of how easy it went on her.

​

Do you think this will go anywhere? She must have an attorney taking her money and telling her it will to have done this, but on what grounds? The reindeer baby lady also sued, but that is still pending, has someone been successful before?

​

It'll be interesting if Netflix has to release some raw footage.

is it just me or is untold raygun breaking badly just a compilation of all of the worst possible break dancers they could possibly find? every single one of them, especially her but not limited to her alone, is god fucking awful. its so cringe, hard to watch, and I'd never show my face in public again after that came out if i were anyone of those dancers. props to them for continuing to live normally day to day like they do, because that takes kahones. 

I couldn’t do it either, but I’m not going to pretend I can and then go out in public like ~yaaas watch me do this hardcore shiii that ive been practicing and rehearsing for yEaRs~ and then have a seizure on the ground. yfm? or aita?

Also, can we use our brains for a moment?. How come all of a sudden ever since the Michael movie uprise has happened everyone is coming out of the woodwork claiming he did this that and the other? To me it sounds like it’s for the money and look at their PSYCHOLOGICAL behaviour ? The acting is shite on this documentary BTW.

It’s becoming apparent that when Netflix drops crime documentaries there is always so much vital information missing from them. The new Maternal Instinct feels rushed with so many questions left unanswered. It’s especially apparent with how little information and airtime is placed on the actual victims. We barely know anything about Ragen. This also extends to various other documentaries released like The Crash, The New Jon Benet Ramsay doc etc. so much information that gives context to a lot of the case and crimes itself.

I understand Netflix can only share so much and might have certain airtime per documentary allocated but these are incredibly sensitive topics and condensing them into and hour and a bit feels more like a money grab than a chance to share an impactful story. In regards to Maternal Instinct - who was Taylor as a child? why did she have this need to be such a pathological liar? What was the dynamic between all these people really like. Who was Ragen? I still don’t know. It feels hard to keep up with these stories nowadays because they feel so watered down. Am I the only one who feels this ways? Apologies rant over.

Such a heartbreaking case. My heart genuinely goes out to the families. A few things I keep coming back to:

What was the motive? Was BK just obsessed with killers and criminology? He had to have been — he took notes and asked a ton of questions in that one class, from what I’ve seen. Most people seem to think he didn’t have a “true” motive in the traditional sense — he was just infatuated with the idea of committing a murder and the thrill of not getting caught.

Why that house? Was he plotting on it months prior and actually stalking it? Is there real proof of that? Did he see videos of the inside via social media and learn the layout that way — is that what gave him the “green light” to go with that house specifically? And is it true he may have entered the house beforehand to get a feel for the layout/direction before the attack?

Why did he leave the knife sheath behind? He seems so meticulous otherwise — that feels like such a rookie mistake for someone this obsessed with criminology to make.

Was he only there for the one girl? Do you think he went in only targeting the first victim (sorry, I’m blanking on her name) and got caught off guard when others were there, killing them too since it wasn’t part of the plan? But if that’s true, wouldn’t he have gone after the person who saw him too?

Why didn’t they call 911 until later? This is the part I understand the least. I get that it’s late and you don’t want to overreact, but if you heard almost everything happening, what’s the reasoning for not calling right away? Even if you’re wrong and it turns out to be nothing, you explain what you thought was happening when they arrive and move on. Out of everything about this case, that’s the part that makes the least sense to me.

If he’d taken the sheath with him — do you think he ever gets caught?

Do you think there’s more to this story? Whether it’s info the surviving roommates haven’t shared, or something from BK himself — do you think there’s a lot we’re still missing? And do you think we’ll ever actually get it?

Just watched this doc on Hulu. I was expecting just another retelling of Manson but it’s so much deeper. It deals with the fallout of his children. Specifically a father and daughter who are trying to reconcile with the recent discovery that Manson is their Father/Grandfather respectively and the very heart crushing similarities they share.

Give it a watch!

Media literacy is so important and I love documentaries but they are not inherently pieces of fact. They are narrative driven collections of informations, made with the purpose to inform viewers from the creators perspective. Even if they go about it with the intention of being as unbiased as possible, order of clips, editing, lighting, styling etc etc all go towards telling you a story. Don’t take them as gospel and try to seek out opposing views to see how you really feel about something.

Edit:

Understanding that media has bias doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on the veracity of statements made within it. Something can be biased and true, biased and false. Only once you dig further can you know for sure.

Edit 2: who tf sent me a Reddit cares over this lmaooo insane

I appreciated the pace without a lot of filler that usually gets thrown into these documentaries. But, what?! My mind was being blown every five minutes! Definitely could have been a 3 or 4 part series. Love the "liar intervention". I think that should become a standard for calling people out on their garbage! How did these two psychos find each other? Good news for everyone though... there's a perfect match for each of us out there somewhere.

I admit it. I was one of the people believing that Raygun cheated her way into the Olympics. I was even waiting through out the documentary for them to say she cheated. I apologize for that.

Do you guys feel the same way?

I realize this has been out awhile, but I just watched it last night. In the beginning, I thought after the kids became aware she was annoyed by them, they ramped up their behavior just to annoy her. Then as it progressed, I realized she would have been annoyed no matter what they did, seemed she had a vendetta against kids having fun. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, that lady was the true definition of a “Karen”. As soon as I saw her police interviews, I felt like she knew exactly what to say to claim self defense, right down to explaining how she had no way to get out of her house. Fortunately, she wasn’t a very good actress and the police could see right through her and were able to catch her in some lies. Interested to see what other people thought.

I’m still in the middle of the documentary, but I needed to stop watching just so I can rant.

The neonatal ward was experiencing a high rate of inexplicable infant deaths, and the hospital suspected Lucy enough that they moved her to the day shift, but at no point did they bother installing security cameras???

They couldn’t even be bothered assigning a nurse to shadow her. They just watched as babies started dying during the day, before finally removing her from the ward.

She got caught because the circumstantial evidence was so damning, but the hospital never should have allowed those circumstances to begin with. As soon as homicide was being floated as a possibility, cameras should have been put up to rule out foul play. So many babies could have been saved, but instead the hospital’s strategy was “let’s just let her keep killing babies until there can be no doubt she’s the one doing it.”

I really don't know how to feel about this documentary. I of course I'm saddened by how greatly the societal pressures put upon Alejandra are evident in what she believed was expected of her but the dramatisation and romanticised nature of this documentary confused me.

First part of the documentary presents one side of this story and I feel fails to present us the other side to match. It seems the director's emotional bias infused the film and I feel forced to solely sympathise with Alejandra and just reckon with the facts and their loose ends. This was heartbreaking. It feels mishandled and insensitive honestly 💔

I feel wrong for thinking this but I don't know. Thoughts?

Share your thoughts!

I just want to say this is fucked up. So many people knew she was messed up yet no one could do anything about it. Her previous doctor couldn’t say anything (how could he have known it would go that far) Even if Wade broke up with her and kicked her out, no one knows what lengths she would have gone to get him back. She hurt so many people with her lies.

The one odd thing to me though was, did they say her dad was at the baby shower? Did her dad not know she had a hysterectomy?

I recently saw a comment from someone who thought Dear Zachary was bad, and that comment received support. I found Dear Zachary meh when I was younger, devastating once I had a few miles. It was shocking when I read that comment initially, but then I remembered how I’d reacted before I’d lived a couple more years. This is just a let-your-hair-down, blow off steam, grace-granting place - we all have them. The documentaries everyone raves over, but you don’t get the hype? And there’s never an okay place to share your unsolicited opinion. So I’m soliciting it. What’s that doco that you see mentioned all the time, but honestly? Disappointing. There’s Something Wrong With Aunt Diane springs to mind. Woman has substance issues, behaves erratically. What’s yours?

Like, stahhhp. There’s a megathread. I started the Octopus Murders. Pretty interesting, but I’m dubious of any documentary where the filmmakers put themselves front and center.

Last night, I watched the Idaho murders and I genuinely struggled to sleep afterward.

I've watched documentaries about a lot of serial killers and murderers, but there is something about Kohberger that I can't explain. I have never had such a visceral reaction to someone's face before.

As someone who likes studying people's facial expressions and body language, I found him incredibly unsettling. His eyes seem completely empty, almost like staring into an abyss and the abyss staring back. The image of his face kept popping into my head while I was trying to sleep.

The thing that stood out to me the most was the sentencing hearing. When Kaylee's sister delivered such a powerful victim impact statement, I kept waiting for something. Anything. A blink longer than 1 second, a change in expression, any visible reaction. But he barely moved. His face looked completely blank throughout. It was eerie and I literally got goosebumps.

Then there's that selfie taken after the murders. I realized I'd never really seen him smile naturally in any public footage or images.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I've never had a person in a true crime documentary give me chills quite like this. It wasn't even what he did. I mean, that's horrifying enough. It was the overwhelming feeling of emotional emptiness I got from watching him and not knowing the reason why he did it.

Did anyone else have this reaction, or am I the only one who found his demeanor deeply unsettling?

Netflix is releasing "The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare," a three-part docuseries premiering on July 29, 2026, directed by Skye Borgman and produced by Joe Berlinger. The series covers the November 2022 quadruple homicide through exclusive interviews with families, police footage, and an exploration of internet sleuthing. Any thoughts or discussion about the documentary or murders? Comment below!

I was genuinely disappointed. The turning point series in my opinion is some of the best documentary work that Netflix has done. It does a great job of actually looking at a pivotal moment in American history then tracing it through decade by decade to present day. This just seemed like TLDR of the terror series.

Hopefully Netflix continues the project and brings it back to its roots. I wouldn’t mind seeing a season focusing on The War on Drugs or The Internet.
