Yeah I get the unreliable narrator stuff but that's the point of the documentary episode. It gives us a third person perspective on Dre's crimes and we learn certain things weren't real like her getting shot at by her dad when he was already dead by that time and her rushing on Nijah's stage to actually get arrested opposed to the ending of the show. But they specifically state Marrisa's death was ruled a suicide in that episode. If it wasn't, they would've left some clue like her death being a mystery or something. That aside from the fact it would be impossible for her to get away with killing her, Dre escapes getting caught cause she kills seemingly random people. Also it's pretty foreshadowed with her having the same name is an urban myth of a crazed fan's suicide. Also her having scars on her wrist from self harming which was emphasized when Dre was kissing them. This means Dre was her emotional support in the past when she was dealing with her problems. We saw in the final texts that Marrisa sent to Dre, she needed her support. Dre not being there when Marrisa needed her likely made her blame herself for her passing so she embodied marissa in Nijah in hopes of keeping her alive in some way. That's what I think
Yeah I agree on all that and I’m not fully on board with the Dre killed Marissa theory. But somethings (such as the death being listed as a suicide) would go under that episodes theme of black murders falling through the cracks.
But yeah it does require picking and choosing what is unreliable and what’s not to make the theory work. I just think they put enough bread crumbs that they want that to be theorized
man i was on the edge of my seat during that scene in episode 4 excepting her to admit she killed her sister surprised to see it isn’t a more popular theory

very good….
Episode 1
Chloe can act better than I expected. Definitely some cool camera angles that you would be less used to that would play with distance and background. The use of music or sound cues made even the most basic moments in others shows more uneasy here. Also really good use of lighting and angles. I liked the facetime angle of the call like trapped in the phone.
Some of the humor kind of just ehhh for me but I am in for the overall plot. Dre's eyes getting so wide with the Naija tickets lol. The drama of having Naija tickets, being a diehard stan and obsessed with her to the point of ruining your life. As real as it is for some people of course looks a lil silly to me but gonna let them cook . Festival when she feels empowered even if she is a some what anti social person person connects it so far. She a really heavy sleeper in general. LOL she could check her phone for clues to be sure she killed herself or what was going on but text herself back right away. Killing herself cause her sister didn't pick up one night and her boyfriend cheated seems a little out there .
But all in all Amazon and Glover got something here where I will watch another episode.
Episode 2
That song definitely not enough for Beyonce fans to get mad about but one thing twitter and social media or articles will always do is remove all context from something . Splice it up rather than see whole picture. Humor not really hitting for me still
Confused on why the family asked her to leave but sure it is a twist that will make sense in time. Oh she on a disappointing men murdering spree . The smoke fighter poster next to the smoke of her gassing him up was a lil much :deadfast:. Oh she shot her lol I have accepted none of this show supposed to be grounded in any sort of reality. I need to catch up on Atlanta. Feels so far like a long form horror movie. LOL the stripper shooting him reminded me of Pimp story cause its gonna bond them when they barely liked Dre.
Never cared for Billie but she looking aight
Episode 3
I definitely need to catch up on Atlanta. Nearly feels like I must not be getting the humor . sound cues throughout show are consistently dope though.
preprocessed food coma playing with unexpected.
I don't know something about show feels off but think it will connect in the second half. Humor I am lost if I am soul less or if its just not that funny.
Still great lighting . Odd amount of references to other pop culture, actors and stuff
Aint gone lie I cracked up when I saw the kid rock ig bee emoji spam comments. That was a funny time
This just struck a nerve because I worked with a student who at a very young age, walked home from school to his mother dead. Murdered.
He should be in 6th grade now.

Oh I am on episode 5 but going to finish it before sleep.
I swear if her waking up slow in earlier episodes was her split prsonality killing marissa I am going to slander this show
Starting Episode 6. So far feels like I was more interested in season towards beginning. Episode 4 derailed a lot for me. But hearing this episode is good so maybe this will reconnect it
