I was interested in watching this after watching Inventing Anna and The Tindler Swindler. Watching this "presentation" was perplexing. This woman seemed likable but the entire show was about the abuse she suffered and her being too trusting and gullible. Seriously? Strangis is a bad man. A thief, a swindler, and a liar. But the Vanity Fair writer was a huge fan of Melngailis, make no mistake. And her employees seemed to excuse most of her actions. There was some criticism, but it was all watered down in favor of this woman's discussing her abusive ex-husband. This was not supposed to be a documentary, I get that. But offer some facts and place some blame, real blame on the thieves, both of them.
