    Completely Ridiculous Amounts Of Blame

    I'm sorry for Matt's death- it truly is a sad tale and an incredible lack of responsibility on many parts; however, people pass EVERY SINGLE HOUR OF EVERY SINGLE DAY due to addiction issues, and there's rarely this level of accountability applied. But because Mr. Perry was famous, now California is going above and beyond to bring people to bear for his death. The obvious point that's being missed is, Matthew and his struggles with addiction. He was well aware of his issues, and to willfully accept ANOTHER drug treatment fix with a different drug goes against everything any addict will tell you is very stupid.

    Make no mistake, there's many people who took advantage but ultimately this belongs to Matthew. However, the absolutely insane levels of excusing by Ms O'Neill are disgraceful; if you are an 'assistant' and asked to do something that goes against every single thing you believe, that's on you if you choose to continue.

    It's no wonder these Hollywood types are so obnoxious about everything- from their hilarious singing during lockdowns, crying for attention, stomping around inserting themselves into the political sphere, injecting their faces with Botox, whining about everything. As if they're the only people who've ever suffered through this thing they're currently saddled with, except they're steeped in mountains of money to overcome the adversity, and then wonder why we have little to no sympathy for their hysterics.

    Any drug dealers should absolutely be punished, but on the same scale as whoever they happen to destroy, not just because it was someone famous.

    Gross misuse of a persons loss of life.

    Felt absolutely filthy watching this. Absolutely appalling dragging the late Matthew Perry's name through mud with over dramatic narrative views. The dramatised music was also so gross and unnecessary. Just goes to show the producers of this show will capitalise on anything and anyone including the loss of life. They have no moral values. I ended up turning it off. 0/10 don't watch. They never would have done this unless he wasn't here to defend himself. The lack of respect is outrageous and undignified and his family don't deserve this whatsoever. I hope for their sake they don't watch this garbage.

    The lowest tier garbage insult of a documentary

    Unflattering pictures of Matthew at his lowest, a random "O'Neill" woman excusing the assistant who killed him and laughed about it in texts, and a random advertisement for Ketamine being a miracle drug that more people should have access to.

    Did you expect that from this documentary? Because that's what it is. It doesn't go deep on anything meaningful, like the people behind the drug ring that killed him, and likely countless others, nor is it anything more than an exploitation of a celebrity's death.

    One of the kindest souls, one of very few in Hollywood, who struggled with mental illness his whole life and was exploited by the people he trusted, to death - this is the "documentary" we get for him.
