Hard to Watch
Viewers admit that the documentary is hard to get through, especially with so many shocks right in the beginning. However, they recommend persevering to see the inspirational outcome.
Relief
Reaching the end of the documentary, some viewers felt relieved that McVey was vindicated, and turned out sane and whole in spite of everything.
Tentative Recommendations
In recommending the documentary to each other, users were careful to note that it is deeply upsetting. Some speculated that those with sensetivities should avoid it altogether.
Detail
Fans admired the way that McVey relied on her own memory to prove her story. They saw this as her only recourse for taking the outcome into her own hands.
Bobby Joe Long
In addition to saving herself, fans praised McVey for stopping Long from carrying out any more horrifying attacks. She had done a public service in that way.
Outrage
Fans were shocked and outraged when two female police officers refused to believe McVey. For some, this lack of solidarity was one of the most sickening parts.
Justice
Finally, some actually called for belated consequences to be brought against the police and other authority figures that refused to believe McVey. Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey is streaming now on Netflix.
