McMillion$ (HBO Documentary)

Episode 4 now - this story seems to be getting a little weird and I feel like stories are changing every episode.

Jerry Jacobson's ex-wife, the one that worked at the printing company....Didn't she say in the 1st episode how sweet and nice Jerry always was, and how even after they split up he was always there for her willing to help her do anything at a moments notice, such as fixing up the house, etc?

Didn't the stupid mobster wife tell a story just last week about how when her and her guido husband got into an argument, she all called Jacobson for support and he all proposed to her and told her how she had married the wrong man?

Now this week, the ex-wife is telling stories about how Jacobson beat up her kids, was a total asshole, stalked her at her job while she was a police officer, etc. And the guido wife is going on and on about how Jacobson wasn't some sweet, kind old man, but a huge prick who, (and this part was funny) forced her "mobster" husband to put a shotgun in someone's face to collect a debt? (Something she implies her husband NEVER would have done on his own, lol) But just last week he was someone she felt like she could confide in whenever her and her husband had a little spat...

Idk If it's HBO's clipping that's causing it, or if these people are just this fucking brain dead, or both.

It's way too drawn out at this point.

I lost all interest. They took the focus away from the law enforcement and investigation itself. That's what drew me in. I don't care about the family feud bullshit or Jerry's father-less kid who doesn't matter at all to the investigation. I'm going to save myself two hours and not finish this.

Yea I'll just end up finishing it because what else am I gonna watch on Monday night but they really dropped the ball these last two episodes. It should have been a 3 part series, max.

This show reminded me of one of those shitty internet articles that has a clickbait title. They pull you in with an interesting premise and then repeat garbage you dont care about over and over as you scroll past 100s of ads just hoping to get to the payoff.

The first episode and final two episodes were good. Shoulda just been a 3 part series.

The final episode was worth watching.

They did some reveals that were unexpected and interesting. Everyone had their opportunity to make peace with one another, and it really humanizes the whole thing... except for Uncle Jerry of course. That fucker should probably still be locked up today. Even his own son thinks he hid a pile of the cash and is living off of it.

Uncle Jerry did 3 years, Glomb did 1 year, and the rest of them got a slap on the wrist & probation. White collar crime definitely pays.
