Worst Roommate Ever (2022–2024)

True Crime Bad Roommates
13 March 2022
I watch more true crime than anything else so of course I watched this. Right away I realized that the first two stories have been done many many times before. Still, I watched all but the first one.

The scariest one for me was the two part one, where the victim accepts a roommate and then can't get rid of him. Serial squatters as they are known. They might pay the first month rent but little to nothing after that. It shows how one man made several women's life pure hell. Scarier still is that the law is on the squatters side. It made no sense and I promise you, it will make you mad.

The other one that I was unfamiliar with concerned a marathon runner. He's a con man and manages to get away with a lot of stuff as well-including two different attempts of murder. It was pretty fascinating.

I thought it was a fairly good documentary, however I wish they had been more creative and hadn't recycled two old stories that have done so many times. The other thing I really didn't like was the use of cartoon or maybe graphic art scenes used throughout instead of recreations done with actors. It was off putting for me at times. Or maybe I just wasn't used to that.
