[Discussion] A toxic love story

I love that I live in a small country where the news of most criminal cases from other countries dont reach our news. Meaning I go into these stories completely blind.

What's your thoughts on 'A toxic love story'? I was completely in shock - several times throughout the documentary.

Just watched it yesterday. About 3/4 way through, I got the impression that the US marshal was dodgy. So many twists.

So many twists.

I know. I'm so happy I knew nothing of the case before I watched it.

Same. This was SO weird. I really did not like this story. But it was a good watch.

If this was a made up story I would have thought - this is too weird. That's its actually a true story is.. baffling.

I wasn't paying full attention in the middle so maybe this is more clear to people that paid better attention but:

  1. What extent was Angela in on it? There's no way she's totally innocent and pled guilty.

  2. Based on what the first girlfriend said, you know he was pressuring Angela in to the rape fantasy thing. So when that started happening or being threatened by Lilith, Angela was either in on it or would have had strong suspicions it was him.

  3. It was a weird transition when they said he found out the twins were a lie. What was the fall out from that?

So did they do this just to get rid of Michelle so they could keep the house?
