Gareth V @geewah Jun 23 This is a true crime story that refuses to be just a true crime story, a con artist biography that insists on humanity, and a portrait of someone who was genuinely ahead of her time and genuinely criminal. The first half is unmissable. The second half gets a bit preachy, but by then you're too invested to care. See more Tina S @Tinas413 06/20/2025 This doc was kind of boring I turned it off. Not what I expected See more 01/12/2022 I'm surprised that this series hasn't received better audience reviews on this site. The negative reviews focus primarily on the production values, in particular the animations, and the sense that it's glorifying a grifter. I thought the animations were fun, and I didn't get the sense that it was glorifying a grifter. But, because so many people seem to have seen Liz's choice to live as a woman as part of the grift, it is important to see her instead as a person whose choice was genuine and right for her, even if she was a psychopathic grifter at the same time. My advice is that, even if you don't find the first episode or two to be particularly compelling, stick it out until the final episode. It's worth it. One final note: The documentary says that she was a libertarian. No, she wasn't. She was a libertine. There's a big difference. It's too bad that she, and apparently the filmmakers, don't seem to understand that difference. See more 05/22/2021 Eye-opening documentary about someone who I'd never heard of before. Very interesting story and I really enjoyed the styles used in the many and necessary re-enactments. Pretty good.
