I haven't (yet) seen the show, the the previews were kind of ticking me off -- like mentioning a "long list of potential suspects" and implying that Jennifer set herself up for murder by giving out "personal information" to online friends. That's just playing right into GR's hand (some of the local journalists were sucked in, in the early days, but once more evidence came to light, I don't think a single person with rudimentary logical reasoning and familiar with all the facts of the case was fooled).
The first half of the show was very misleading, IMO. In the first half it was pretty much presented in the way Remy would have you believe it all looked. The second half blew all the carp in the first half to smithereens, making all in the first half almost laughable, if it weren't so tragic for Jennifer.
I think the 'long list' turned out to be
1. Guy from England that JR met through gaming
2. Remy
3. Remy's mistress
My husband knew nothing about the case but I asked him watch it with me. Of course I was yelling at the TV like it was a football game in the first half, "OH, whatever! You were ****ing your wife's best friend!" "Right! iPhone screens are super durable and would totally look like that it you flung them from a bridge!"
The first reaction from my husband was during the second half when Remy was smiling and LAUGHINGLY admitting yes, isn't it terrible, an affair with my wife's best friend, ha ha ha. My (deep voiced) husband was all squeaky, "THAT'S FUNNY?!?! Are you kidding me with this? What an *advertiser censored*****e!"
We were both equally disgusted with the mistress. Sorry, she has no soul. Yup, I felt guilty. So guilty, I kept doing Remy. Her 'I felt terrible' face is the same as her 'I did laundry for them' face is the same as her 'it was weird because when I dropped him off after picking him up at the Y, we totally could have done the nasty at their house' face, and her 'I have to live with this the rest of my life' face. I feel sorry for her husband and children. I think she (mistress) and Remy deserve one another.
My husband also was appalled by the juxtaposition of Remy on the phone with 911 vs Jennifer's father on the phone with 911 (when he found her car).
Her father (who has a soul) sounds devastated, in tears. Remy sounds like how he thinks he should sound.
My husband was disgusted with Remy badmouthing Jen. Oh, and toward the end when he was all (paraphrased), "Why would I kill her? I had everything! I had a wife, a mistress!, my children, why would I want to ruin that?" Not even kidding.
I can not wait until someone can post the section where he's laughingly admitting to his affair. It's repugnant.
