It’s somewhat entertaining to watch. However, I’m not completely convinced it’s all true. At the same time I’m completely open to the possibility that it may be true. I guess I just don’t know enough about DID to have an opinion. I always thought people with multiple personalities were NOT in control of the personalities and/or not aware of what the other personalities said or did. For example I thought Jane would not be aware of what Maddison or Alexis had done or said to someone when Jane is not that personality. But it seems in this show she’s very aware of what all the personalities say and do and how they feel. And it seems as though she has control of who is in present. So after watching a couple of episodes, I am more confused about DID than I was before. And the fact that her mother had no idea that she has DID really makes me question if she really does. I mean she MAY have all of these personalities and may have some serious issues going on but I think it’s also a possibility that she just likes playing pretend, and her way of hiding or camouflaging her pain is to just be different people. Kind of like being an actress. She can pretend to be someone else for a while and that’s the way she copes with her past. On the other hand I know the mind is a very powerful thing and is capable of so much. So no one will really know for sure if this is an actual case of DID or just someone that says they have it just so they don’t look crazy for pretending to be different people. Either way, I do believe she’s had some type of serious trauma in her life and that part is truly sad.

I would give 5 stars but I am irritated by the way they have felt it necessary to add so much profanity starting season 3. I don’t mind a little bad language here and there but it is extremely annoying the way people feel like having the F bomb in almost every conversation makes makes a show better. It was a great show before they decided to make these ridiculous changes. I still like it and will continue to watch it but I don’t enjoy it as much as I did in season one and two. It’s extremely unnecessary!

Finally a show on Netflix that’s not completely woke! Hope they keep it going.
