She's a pedophile and a predator. I'm disgusted. She took no accountability and Netflix tried giving her some sympathetic image? Gross. Her daughter needs tons of therapy

Brooooo when Kendra says “ i know a lot of us made mistakes and broke the law but didnt get caught”, BYE, this is not a mistake this is a deliberate decision that she made over and over. This wasnt a OOPSIE moment. And no Kendra, we have not all broke the law but got away with it, and certainly not to this level. Please, the rationalization of it all. People try to logically rationalize their actions as if it makes them understandable. Girl, Hitler had his reasons too, and was very convincing in his rationale, he still was a monster. That woman gives me chills. I have strong reasons to believe her daughter will cut her off way later in life, when she is going to become more aware. At the moment, she’s too young to fully process it and have perspective. She’s in a bubble. She clearly doesnt seem to fully understand.

Really disappointed to see Netflix starting to go to the “Weekly drop” model of series shows. I wish they would just drop their new series all at one time and allow the viewer to decide how and when they want to watch ( or binge watch). For me, having entire shows dropped at one time, differentiated Netflix from a lot of other services and was somethingI valued. I’m I alone here?

Reading the comments here, most people agree Kendra is a psychopath and pedophile, which: yes absolutely. And I agree she needs to be locked away for a much longer time (and studied). But there are some other takes I had that I don’t see reflected. What do you think, and what unpopular opinions do you have? Please share:

1. Yes, obviously Kendra was fixated on Owen, even when he was still a little prepubescent boy (sick). And she was jealous of Lauryn for being with him. That’s all the comments I’ve read. But I believe it went much deeper than that. She was also deeply jealous that her daughter was growing into a pretty teenager who had her whole life ahead of her and hadn’t fucked up her marriage, finances and life like Kendra had. Owen was the target of her fixation but It wasn’t only about Owen. There’s a lot more going on.

2. I’m sorry but Owen’s parents/mother are not the heroes people are making them out to be. Why in the free world would they not take the kid’s phone away? He was being harassed into a place of suicidal ideation. They are terrible parents for letting him just deal with it while the mom pranced around pretending she was a star on Law & Order

3. Lauryn’s dad was an incompetent father. I believe Kendra is a master manipulator but what the hell must he have been doing to not see signs that something was terribly wrong? I think he was having affairs/a double life or at the very least was willfully burying his head in the sand. What do you mean you trusted your wife to handle your daughter’s severe sexual harassment and abuse? You didn’t think you should help? You didn’t think the situation warranted all hands on deck? Where the hell were you? And all he could say about Lauryn now is that she’s “growing” and will be a “beautiful woman.” Something is also off with him.

4. Regarding Lauryn's non-emotional reaction to what her mom did to her: Lauryn never had close friends and was always quiet and withdrawn, per all her peers. Owen said she was trying to isolate him from his friends so it was just “the two of us”. As far as we saw, Kendra was her primary parent, with barely any paternal involvement. Kendra’s sociopathic ways are normal to Lauryn because it’s all she knows. I hope she gets a lifetime of therapy.

What the hell did I just watch? And what the hell was this person thinking?

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

SPOILER ALERT: first, I’m really curious as to what mental illness Kendra Licari has. I have several family members with severe mental illness but I can’t figure this out…

It was so disturbing to learn what she did to her innocent daughter and her friends. But she was also obsessed with the boyfriend! And then we learn that she lied about having a job! And then we hear her skirt accountability blaming it on her trauma, and then we see how manipulative she is at every level. Like… I have questions. Weigh in on any:

1. WTF did we just watch?
2. What mentally illness do you think she has? And what makes you think that?
3. Why was she fired?? We need a follow up on this. Sounds like Casey Anthony at Universal Studios..
4. We’re all in agreement that she was obsessed with Owen right?
5. HOW DID THIS PSYCHOPATH GET FREE IN 18 MONTHS?

This documentary produced by Spike Lee was very informative and really well done. What a complete tragedy to the people and community. Everyone needs to watch this.

This foolishness and fuckery in retrospect. First tf off… WHY TF DID NETFLIX CENTER THE OFFENDER. Kendra didn’t deserve to make this all about her and her story. This is about Owen, Khloe, his mother, Kendra’s husband and Lauryn. This should have been about the victims. They should have highlighted everything Kendra took from Shawn (Kendra’s husband.) Kendra is literally a family annihilator without the redrum.

Why didn’t Netflix put more emphasis on the sexual messages to minors??? Why did Netflix make a mockery of this situation??? Why didn’t they center the other parents? Why platform a literal abuser??

Y’all might drag me for this but I feel like Lauryn’s reactions are odd. Like I didn’t see any shock or surprise or even anger. I’m extremely surprised that the fact that Lauryn stayed in constant contact with her mother. It almost seems… dismissive of the whole ordeal.

Shawn and Lauryn lost EVERYTHING and Kendra is making it seem cool. I’m just appalled.

Sooo good sooo wholesome!! Loved the characters and cant wait to see other richard’s book turn into movies! What do you think ? Especially people who have read the book as well??

Why did Kendra go after Owen's new girlfriend, a full year after he and Lauryn broke up?

That isolated single detail proves this had absolutely nothing to do with protecting her daughter and everything to do with her own predatory obsession with Owen. Owen's mom tried to point it out, but they barely gave her a voice.

It feels like the real story was "Predatory Mom Coach" but decided "Highschool Catfish Story" was way more marketable. It's like they are deliberately downplaying the darkest part of this story and perpetuating Kendra's misdirection/manipulation.

Kendra must have mental health issues like they mentioned Munchausens once. This woman is UNWELL. I think they should have been a little more concerned about the insane sexual and violent texts she was sending to MINORS. Let alone her DAUGHTER. She was really telling her daughter to kill herself!!! And Kendra had the audacity to say that she wasn't worried about her daughter hurting herself. What a selfish demented woman. We dont know that Lauryn didnt hurt herself. WHAT MADE ME THE MOST UPSET WAS HER TELLING THE OFFICERS THAT SHE WAS UPSET ABOUT HOW LAURYN WOULD BE TREATED AT SCHOOL NOW. like lady you vetoed that right to care the second you messaged your daughter. I dont care what happened in your childhood or what mental illnesses you have, it never makes it okay for something like this. And shes acting like shes off the hook because she didnt send the first texts. SHE SENT THE WORST ONES. Poor Lauryn, God only knows how she truly feels about what happened. How do you recover from that?

1:23 from the very start the first red flag "I just told her to ignore them" what? The first time I watched it I did say wtf but let it go. Now I'm watching it again and already realise that alone is weird af everyone else is taking it so seriously and worried about her and mums all "oh well"..

The signs were definitely there!

This story was insane, that was the last thing I expected. Rant incoming…

It really bothers me that her daughter Lauryn still had a relationship with her & even a close one.

She didn’t just cyber bully her, she said disgusting things. She literally told her to OFF HERSELF. She broke up her daughter’s first relationship, she listened to her daughter cry, beg for it to stop, & still did it. That’s sick, that’s not “that wasn’t me” “i dont know what i was doing”. She harassed her for almost TWO YEARS. You being assaulted does not excuse you to harass your daughter, it doesn’t even correlate. & then to do it for almost 2 years.

Not to mention her obsession with Owen, that’s disgusting & predatory. She could have just called her daughter ugly, annoying blah blah but she said vulgar things about him. THATS WEIRD. I know this whole thing is weird but it’s even weirder that she was obsessed with him.

I personally would never talk to my mother again. & my mom is by best friend. You told me to off myself everyday multiple times a day. Then said “well I knew she wouldn’t do it”, I could never trust her again.

Let me know your thoughts.

In desperate need of new series to watch, can't seem to stick to anything So need a series that is dark, mysterious and very thrilling to watch. A series I cam binge watch in a day or over a few weeks.

had all the time in the world to think, to manipulate their version of events, and presenting the story as a victim. So Gross.. Real people were traumatized. And now that person is using that pathetic narrative to gain empathy and attention??? wow

who sent the picture of owen and his new phone case from inside his house? if owen and lauryn were broken up by then kendra wouldn’t be at their house i wouldn’t think? i’m so confused by how many things kendra knew about even owen’s new gf? how was she getting all this info and pics? idk if i missed something!

What did Chloe’s mom mean when she said, ‘I told someone that Shaun and Lauryn were going to come off looking like the victims.’ She says this towards the end of the program. Was she suggesting they were all in it together, ie Kendra, Shaun and Lauryn?

Just finished binging both seasons of AIB before s3 comes out and i noticed something very ummm interesting. the parallels between the movie inception by chris nolan and AIB are too hard to ignore,

- for instance, the whole idea of going into borderland when ur unconscious in the real world, and second being able to 'communicate' with others who r in the same state

- and the fact that time passes by so much slower in BL than in the real-world, the fact that the players in AIB spinoff used a 'totem' that was unique to them to remind them that they're still in BL and not in the real world.

- the fact that entering the BLands can be done through a 'coma' induction.

- and also the fact that if u die in the BL you essentially fall into limbo and die in the real world..

there are so many more similarities (tbh at this point the same ideas not even similarities lol) and considering the AIB manga came out in like nov of 2010 and inception was released a bit before that makes it a bit interesting as to who ripped off who lol what do yall think?

should i watch if ? i see alot of people getting mad at the show and calling it rage bait but the discussion and certain spoilers i’ve read makes me want to dive deeper and watch the show. so is the final verdict a watch or a pass ?

Basic post but I saw this a few months ago, and boy did I love it. Always been a sucker for gov't or just big conspiracy style docs and films, but of course, they're usually laughable in how utterly bonkers they are. This felt like, regardless of how much you agree or not, there was really something going on here.

Any other docs out there exploring big, believable gov't/institutional/generally big conspiracies in a grounded, worthwhile, and believable way?

Does anyone happen to know if the original Avatar The Last Airbender is being removed from UK Netflix? I'm pretty sure it was removed from Dutch and American Netflix but I don't know if it's leaving the UK version too.

I have gigabit fiber and a wired connection between my Roku and my switch, and a 1080p TV, and the standard 1080p plan.

The last couple of times I watched a movie on Netflix the picture quality was terrible. Last night I watched Jurassic Park and several scenes looked like there was sand on the screen. This was not film grain. These were stationary light colored dots in a general banding pattern, especially in the darker areas of the picture. It was different from the compression artifacts you see in dark scenes where you see banding between two shades of dark gray, often in a night sky. These were brightly colored points, like white sand.

It happened the other day too but I don't remember what movie I was watching. At the time I thought it was a fluke.

For comparison, I binged The White Lotus on HBO Max the night before for several hours and never once saw anything like this.

My Netflix windows 11 app is not able to display anything. the functionalities are hidden behind this veil which appears whenever i try to open the app. i have tried resetting it, restarting the computer, updating my graphic drivers to no help. kindly somebody help me with this issue

I'm an artist. Sometimes when I'm watching shows or movies, I find a scene where there is an interesting pose or lighting scenario that I'd like to draw or use as reference.

I've noticed that whenever you screenshot while watching a show, the screenshot is just blacked out. I assume this is for some copyright reason to prevent people from stealing the content.

Is there a way I can screenshot or save a specific frame?
