"A text-message tragedy that resists easy verdicts"
This two-part HBO documentary reconstructs the case of Michelle Carter, a Massachusetts teenager prosecuted for manslaughter after her boyfriend died by suicide, allegedly urged on by her text messages. Using court footage, texts, and interviews, it builds a portrait that shifts uncomfortably as more context emerges. The pacing is deliberate and journalistic rather than sensational, letting the legal and psychological questions breathe. It's a sober, unsettling watch that lingers less on shock and more on ambiguity, mental illness, and how digital communication complicates ideas of guilt and intent.
