Getting Hooked on True Crime Docs

You know what I’ve been doing right now? Just consuming a lot of true crime docs. That has been my go-to thing for the last two weeks. I have nothing to do? Put on a true crime series. I have work to do? Put on a true crime series. I need background noise while reading? Put on a true crime series. Like what? Okay, this is nothing new for me. Like I said, my interests cycle. So I guess, now I am in this phase. Nothing wrong with that. I just tend to get obsessed with an interest when it’s up.

One docuseries that kind of aggravated me a lot was Bad Surgeon. I watched it right when it was released. It has three hour-long episodes and the deeper I got into it, the more triggered I was. Like what the actual fuck. It was such an unethical practice and the consequences were horrible. Throw the lying and the coverup and I was seething.

I mean, I watched disturbing stuff too – serial killers, murder scandals, financial frauds, cults, assaults. And I would lie if I say that I’m never affected by them. They do trigger my anxiety a lot when I watch certain true crime topics and I often find myself taking a break. But as of right now, I keep on coming back apparently.

My partner and I also started watching Link Click. Not going to lie, that I put this on my watchlist not knowing really what it was about. All I knew about it was that it was a donghua. And I automatically bookmarked it because of the two guys on the thumbnail on Crunchyroll. Three episodes in and both of us were enjoying it! The premise was really interesting, so far we’re both hooked on it. The soundtrack bops. So I cannot complain!

I’ve also been consuming some hockey romances. So that’s that.
