Good true crime that is completely different than initially thought, truly a surprising ending....
Man really is a terrible little creature...
And the police are making some huge blunders here again, and in my opinion, some weren't real blunders but just knowing exactly what was going on, yet still protecting someone... truly awful, but recognizable.

Once again, a cinematic true crime documentary on Netflix. On the positive side, 'A Toxic Love Story' (2026) is a juicy rollercoaster ride full of shocking twists and turns and people doing gruesome things to each other. On the negative side, it is also a bit exploitative and forced, because by now you are starting to recognize the structure from countless other similar documentaries. The fast editing. The thriller-like build-up. The sensational approach. This bizarre stalking case has the advantage that there were no fatalities, so you don't have to feel guilty.

US Marshall Ian Diaz and his wife Angela had been stalked for quite some time by Ian's ex-fiancée Michelle Hadley. She was eventually arrested and sentenced to prison for placing a call on Craig's List on Angela's behalf for a rape fantasy at Angela's home. But, as is often the case in this type of true crime documentary, the situation was different. This story distinguishes itself positively due to a bizarre double twist, but Lacey often falls back on the same video footage or meaningless original images to avoid having to rely entirely on talking heads. The story is fascinating, the narrative style disappointing.
