This was a gripping documentary. Each story was compelling and sad. I found myself frustrated at times with some of the survivors, as they didn't do some common sense stuff (e.g., background checks, googling). I don't want to be seen as victim-blaming; it was just surprising that the level of trust they had with total strangers was so high.
I have a lot of empathy for all these folks. These were some very dangerous and sad situations. The 2-part story is especially wacky. I'm happy all of those women are alive to tell their stories. I hope Sonia somehow gets on her feet (heartbreaking!!). Regarding the one who is on with her mom, I guess I see why some reviewers found her annoying, but I see it as her using "gallows humor" or whatever as a coping mechanism. She can joke and say quirky things about it now, but it must have been hell.
All in all, this was extremely well done. The music didn't bother me. The cartoon drawings were kind of weird, but they made sense. Otherwise, they would have just showed the same photos over and over.
