I just finished watching Maternal Instinct on Netflix.

Has anyone else seen it?

Dear me I wish I hadn't. It's really affected me. For those of you who haven't watched it I suggest you don't.

That poor poor woman and all her family.

Yes I just finished it too. Just horrific.

Someone on another thread said that and of course I went straight on Netflix and watched it! It is shocking. The fucked up people that walk among us..

We’re about halfway through, finishing the other half today. Does it get even worse?! It’s already so unbelievable

I watched it, what an awful woman. Despicable. It’s so shocking to think people like that walk among us. I vaguely remember hearing about it at the time or maybe there has been another case similar?

I watched it, until the very end I couldn’t fathom what was going to happen. Couldn’t comprehend that someone could be so evil. Horrifying.

it just shows how charismatic narcissistic psychopaths can be!

The ending was horrific. Rest easy, Reagan. 💐

In this circumstance I absolutely feel the death sentence is appropriate.

I’m 15 minutes in. I’ll buckle up! Confused

ImpatientlyWaitingForSummer · 20/06/2026 22:00

I’ve just watched the end of it. Holy fucking shit, what a monster

OiFatArse · 20/06/2026 22:05

Absolutely sobbed my eyes out!! I've seen some fucked up shit in my life, real life, TV, films , true crime docs etc..barely batted an eyelid but this !!! Upset me so so bad still can't stop thinking about it days later

Watched it yesterday. Dealt with a compulsive liar last year and the start was so similar. I really wasn't expecting the heights it went on the documentary.

OH. MY. GOOD. GOD 😳

I know death row is often actually just life without parole but they can’t exterminate her fast enough for me.

I was struck though by how physically relaxed Wade remained when they told him what she’d done. I suspect DH would have rocketed through the ceiling with the same news. To his credit though, his first question was asking about the poor baby.

I dated a compulsive liar in my teens. The whole bit, having cancer treatment etc (disproved by calling the ward he was supposedly being treated on, pre-GDPR). I wonder what he’s doing now, locked up hopefully.
