The 15 Emotional Stages Of Watching Netflix’s Addictive True Crime Series ‘Evil Genius’
If you live for everything related to true crime, murder, heist jobs, and also enjoy shouting ‘GOTCHA!’ at the TV, we have a new show for you: Netflix’s newest original series Evil Genius.
This four-part series seeks to uncover the identity of the pizza bomber and is just so damn addictive. I banged out the whole season in one night and have no regrets. Except that I am now haunted by constant feelings of dread and no longer sleep at night. No biggie.
If you have just watched the season you’re aware that it’s a wild and bumpy ride, and we are here to walk you through it.
Here are the 15 emotional stages of watching Netflix’s Evil Genius:
1. That bombing scene was actual torture to watch.
The way the cops just let that man sit with an active bomb on his chest until he BLEW UP IN FRONT OF THEM is disgusting. They could’ve and should’ve done better. #EvilGenius

2. I’ve only just started and I’m not okay.
Me: Long day, I guess I'll watch this #EvilGenius everyone is talking about and cheer myself up.

4. Bill Rothstein is already the worst.

5. Ohhh shit. Bill had a blue van?!?
Anyone else notice a blue minivan parked in front of #BillRothstein’s house? Who’s van? The investigator in Ep. 1 said he always wondered about the blue van that got away. #EvilGenius

7. The note Bill left was… a bit suss tbh.

8. But Bill is CLEARLY innocent. Because he says so.
Hey Bill Rothstein, did you kill Brian Wells?? #evilgenius pic.twitter.com/e15ofIwM6w

9. I’m personally still shook that Marjorie shaves off her damn eyebrows.
Not sure if it’s too late to tweet about #EvilGenius on Netflix but the craziest part to me was that she didn’t shower in weeks & nearly killed a cop with BO while in custody but yet she brushed her teeth 32 fucking times a day.

10. This guy is actually hopeless. Why are all the cops on this show so incompetent?!?
I am determined that this man is the worst detective of all time. #EvilGenius pic.twitter.com/1crTfwsRco

13. Most importantly, why is Jessica referring to herself as ‘No. 1 white girl’, tho?
I am fascinated that #EvilGenius took place in my home city. I am even more fascinated that Jessica Hoopsick signed her text messages with “No 1 white girl.”

Why aren't more people talking about the fact that Jessica Hoopsick signed her text "No. 1 White Girl"? I'M SCREAMING #EvilGenius

14. Wait… if Brian was innocent, why did he grab the lollipop?!?
I just can't stop wondering why Brian Wells grabbed a lollipop when he walked into the bank… #EvilGenius

15. Gahhh!!! The final image of Marjorie has ended me.
The last shot in the opening or intro to each episode of #EvilGenius when her face changes shape…most chilling and scariest thing I’ve ever seen.

That last fade shot of Marge throughout the years tells the story completely.
See those eyes and know you are looking at evil.#EvilGenius pic.twitter.com/yb04hBAKR0

Mommy, please leave the hall light on. I’m scared Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong is going to get me.#EvilGenius
