Has anyone watched this and want to discuss?

I have so many conflicting thoughts.

What platform? I want to watch

I think it's on peacock. I haven't watched it yet, contemplating if I want to.

I refuse to watch. I think a podcast I listen to might cover it so I may listen to that.

It’s on Peacock. I found it very interesting. I know most don’t want to give her air time, etc but if she truly is a victim like she stated, it’s all very interesting. I have no idea what to believe but there are many possibilities.

I didn't watch but I saw the clip of her mom telling her 'they are saying Caylee is dead' and her 'Well duh' reaction gutted me and now I refuse to watch it.

ETA: I would not be shocked if this was an editing thing but also not shocked if that was her legit reaction, so I can't do that to myself.  That poor child.

I genuinely attempted to watch this with an open heart and mind and it did not change my feelings that she had a major hand in the death of her child.

Let's say I believe all her claims of abuse, she still doesn't make any sense to me.

Key points for me in current doc and current doc alone - she says she seens George holding Caylee's soaking wet body, that is limp. But then says she believed that Caylee was ok. That George some kind of way took Caylee somewhere and she was ok. That all she had to do was say what George told her and it would all be ok.

This doesn't make sense to me because even if I believed you that were brainwashed by your abuser here to lie and lie, you still saw with your own eyes him with Caylee's body. According to your words.

[McBenny]

Another major issue for me - if you know that he abused you (if I believe your SA allegations)
then how are you just now realizing that he probably abused Caylee too?

And you have this realization live in the documentary?

This tidbit pushed me over the edge that she is full of shit.

Cause in one part she says she didn't leave Caylee at the house with her parents so that she wasn't around G. But then later you are just realizing that he might have abused Caylee?

Seems to me you should have realized this when Caylee came up deceased - again if I believe your version.

[McBenny]

She says she's a light sleeper but didn't hear Caylee leave her side that day.

She says Caylee would never leave her side without telling her but going on her current story, Caylee must have left without telling you that day because she left you and was not seen again by you until in George's arms.

Thanks for the recap McBenny.

I didn't realize the doc was something from her perspective. I don't think that's something I can watch. I was so invested in the case, & the idea of her having a whole documentary to defend herself kinda makes me sick. If it was just something about the case, not from her POV, I would watch.

I appreciate your perspective McBenny. Admittedly I didn't watch with a super critical lens, like I should have. I will say I do believe she was abused by GA in some way or that there was at least a difficult family life situation. Something was off in that family. But, the rest is too much for the reasons you pointed out and more. Maybe it's just so hard for me to believe such evil exisits. I don't fully know.

I really tried to watch with an open mind.

For me (and I am not saying anyone else should do this) I just went ahead and decided to watch it as though I believe the SA. 

I wanted to view everything else she said with that out of the way. Let me watch it as though I have already accepted that part as fact. It really helped me to focus on the other things she said. I feel because it removed the emotional part (for me). That is what allowed me to see that what she was still saying did not make a lot of sense to me.

I'm watching now and this is where I'm at too. She says "I honestly thought my dad just had her somewhere for a month and she was ok. How come I didn't have the maternal instinct to know something was wrong?" What instinct do you need when you held her effing wet corpse??? I don't understand.
