I enjoyed this one much more than the Netflix version. I remember not liking Nick, and now we know why. If Rachel was just putting on an act in this she did a good. I came away liking her immensely and hoping for the best for her. Which is much more than I can say for her cohorts in the other doc. If someone learns and grows that's the best that can come out of a terrible situation. I don't fault them per se for what they did; the 2000's were a terrible time. I'm sure many decades have their own version of this but it was definitely a vapid time. As someone who went to a posh wealthy high school whose family wasn't as rich, I could empathize with her. The difference between me and her was I didn't care. But that didn't stop me from having a short lived designer purse phase. We can't fault people for doing anything to obtain a lifestyle that American society forces us into accepting. I'm lucky I now live in Paris because consumerism is not a thing I have to deal with anymore. Despite its reputation no one is obsessed with labels. It's a shame America is still pushing that narrative. Good for Rachel for learning that the hard way.
