It's obvious that my crazy ex isn't exactly on the level however what " reality" show is? While it can be a bit cheesy it is a lighthearted sometimes a bit R rated look at the red flags that we refuse to acknowledge when starting a new relationship. Wish this show was on about 20 years ago maybe i wouldn't have been blinded by the lust like some of the crazies depicted on this show.

I enjoyed this show, purely for the outrageous stories, are they all real? Make your own mind up, perhaps exaggerated in some scenes, but I don't doubt folk have had ex partners very similar to these stories. Sit back and enjoy the comical side, being grateful that it wouldn't happen to you, or could it?
Amazing Show

Are the stories real? Probably not. But it doesn't take away from the entertainment value of the show. The stories are amazing, outlandish, and sometimes cringey. But they are hilarious. My go to cheesy-bad-guilty-pleasure show. Highly recommend for a girls night, drinking game, or just general binge
Love love this show 😃

The format is easy to follow at the stories are very entertaining! They make you grateful for whatever relationship you have or had because it wasn't as Crazy as what's going on here. 10/10 stars. I'm hooked & will be bummed when this binge watch ends 😢
Pathetic fake show that purports to be reality

Absolute garbage

If the extensive cast list with a lack of 'himself/herself' didn't clue you in, this show is as fake as fake can be. Wikipedia calls it a 'reality storytelling' series, but I have little doubt that only a small handful of episodes have any sort of basis in reality... with the crazy cranked up to eleven. And its the over-the-top outlandishness that just makes this show silly and embarrassing to watch. Hard pass from me.
Who says that?!

It's ridiculous y'all! Just enough to be on the cusp of wanting to both continue to watch this train wreck unfold and wanting to turn it off immediately. They also feature two different actors per role; one actor does the (pitiful) re-enactments and the other does the "confessional" interview/narrative part. Each so obviously scripted and poorly written. Just furthers my suspicions regarding the "true crime" claim...just how much of this is NOT fictionalized?!
At first I was really leaning toward it just being terrible acting but I've now come to realize that whoever scripted this must have gotten it mixed up with a project for a musical they're working on- it absolutely SCREAMS Broadway! My fav thus far?
Yes, seriously. I don't know how the actors are able to deliver this nonsense. It's like...I have a serious case of secondhand embarrassment going on here. I have to look away out of respect! Ive definitely heard some pretty outrageous lines watching this "true crime" series, but when the above quoted was executed, an intermission became necessary...when you have to take a break at 7 minutes into an episode, gotta be some sort of red flag being blatantly. So in order to still be somewhat productive with my self-imposed break, I immediately paused it to come here to make fu...I mean to share its wonders with everyone via review.
Enjoy! (But take frequent timeouts for your own well being).Hey

- S4E q1- a younger male says to his pseudo-girlfriend/coworker: "I'm sorry. I can be a real bozo sometimes".

Not Real

Warning: Spoilers
Not real IMHO. Example: An ex girlfriend from 10 years ago shows up and seduces a guys current wife and eventually convinces her to capture his sperm in condoms which she uses to get pregnant. Then the wife leaves the husband to be with his old girlfriend who kicks her back because she really wants to be with her own husband who could not have children. Seriously?
No way is this show about real crazy exes

Warning: Spoilers
I've watched a few episodes of this show now, and I'm convinced it's pure fiction. The scenarios are just too cornball to be believed. A dude that pretended to be twins to date two best friends? Please. Getting recognized and enlightened by stranger who saw the masked porn your ex secretly made with you because of your unique tattoo? Highly unlikely. A dog-napping ex that dressed up like a dog in the bedroom? Come on! An ex that secretly dressed a doll in his ex's clothes and romanced it? Get real! The acting is so bad, both by the re-enacting actors and what I firmly believe are actors portraying real people with crazy exes. Complete balderdash. I have no idea how this show averages 7 stars. I feel my three is quite generous. Don't waste your time unless you want to exercise your eye-rolling muscles.
Misleading
steveandrew-3298013 February 2024
The actors/actresses in the actual reenactments are almost as bad as the actors in the confessions which tells "their story." I had to dig further to validate my suspicion that they were in fact actors... surely I was right. I don't understand why they would pretend to have the victims on there, except if they might not feel comfortable showing their face and that's why.there's the option of appearing in silhouette or blurring out faces to protect identity. The show would be so much better if they didn't use actors (terrible ones) to tell these stories. The corny music in the background is just ridiculous. Great idea for a television show but it could be done better.
