When I first heard about this show, the concept was really vague, therefore I watched this with my mind as opened as possible, hoping to see some inside in what was going on with this troubled Hollywood starlet trying to rebuild her career, after her 6th rehab.
You know when you watch a train wreck on the news, and you know it's going to end badly, but you can't stop watching due to some gruesome curiosity? Well let's just imagine the train is Lindsay Lohan's career, and you've basically got this show figured out.
* you might have some spoilers ahead* Let's just clarify right here that I'm not a huge Lindsay Lohan Fan, neither am I a hater. I watched most of her movies, and I think she's an overall okay actress, who just got carried away . Then I saw the "docuseries" and got mixed feelings.
It seemed boring, and harmless in beginning, because there was nothing Worthy going on , but then Lindsay starts commenting on things and randomly crying, and I got hooked.
You get to see first hand what an emotional roller-coaster is, and how hard it will be for her to ever have a great career again, as we are presented to a moody and irresponsible starlet who's late to every single cameo she can get, and still blames every single person around her, as it's never her fault that she barely gets any work.
You see contradictions during every testimony and it makes you wonder . In one episode, she claims to be flat broke and desperate for work. two episodes later she spends 12 hundred dollars in hair extensions to go to a party just because she feels like it. She complains no one gives her a chance, a producer arranges a meeting with her and she bluntly bails it to stay in sleeping.
And it gets frightening, because you see everyone around her patting her in the back and condescending on her, instead of trying to help her succeed. You see how dangerous it is to bee vulnerable and how surrounded by vultures one is on this circles, and that's basically the only positive thing in this documentary, that's not actually a documentary.
* end of possible spoilers*
I realize OWN was trying to bring to the viewer this emotional journey accompanying a triumphant comeback for this promising young woman, with an artsy feeling, but what they delivered was a bunch of cameras following Lindsay shopping, smoking, eating, smoking, complaining, smoking and... being late to every single professional compromise ever made during filming.
