[quote=Anonymous]I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanted more in-depth coverage--so much available backstory but the doc felt like it didn't dive deep enough.

Aside from the obvious wtf moments, I came away kind of not liking Wade and his friends/family. Like I get that they are speaking about everything after the fact and had context that the viewers didn't, but they kind of came across as greedy and enjoying the benefits of the lies, while still trashing Taylor. Until they got to the actual murder (I purposely didn't read the outcome beforehand), I had a hard time feeling for them as victims. Like oh no, Wade had to enjoy the dream of buying million dollar properties and spending big bucks on ATVs and big boy hunting toys. And then he became a sourpuss when it seemed to be falling apart (but yet, did nothing because he wanted it to be true).

Even at the end when each interviewee was reflecting, I was still reeling from the knowledge that the baby had died (since she was alive in the opening footage when the cop pulled Taylor over). But all of Wade's crew, including him, said they are trying to move past the betrayal, the lies, the deception. I realize it's an edited and they very well could have mentioned other things, but as presented, I kept wondering, "...and the baby? And Reagan?" None of them mentioned "And I struggle with the knowledge that that poor baby didn't even get a chance at life..."[/quote]
