The concept of having a bad roommate is universal, and Netflix is here to cement it in the Worst Roommate Ever. A chilling true-crime documentary series delves deep into the unsettling stories of individuals whose living situations turned into nightmares. Spanning two seasons, each episode explores different cases of heinous roommates, ranging from violent criminals to manipulative squatters wreaking havoc on unsuspecting victims.

The series kicks off with Dorothea Puente, a seemingly sweet grandmother figure who, turns out, is a cold-blooded serial killer. Through a mix of interviews, archival footage, and gripping animated reenactments, viewers are taken on a journey through Puente's dark past, beginning with her early criminal activities such as passing bad checks in her youth.

Central to the narrative is the tragic case of Bert Montoya, an unhoused man placed under Puente's care by a well-meaning social worker named Judy. Despite Bert's mental health challenges, Judy believed Puente's boarding house would provide a stable environment for him. However, when Bert mysteriously disappears to flimsy explanations from Puente, suspicions escalate, leading to a chilling investigation.

The documentary masterfully unfolds the investigative process that ultimately uncovered Puente's horrific crimes. From the discovery of suspicious pills in her possession to the grisly remains unearthed in her backyard, each twist and turn adds layers of intrigue and horror to the narrative.

While Puente's case is the primary focus of the first season, subsequent episodes explore other equally unsettling roommate situations, highlighting the range of human depravity and the vulnerability of those seeking housing stability.

Critically acclaimed for its thorough research and compelling storytelling, the series offers a sobering reflection on the dangers lurking behind closed doors, and the unforeseen consequences of trusting the wrong person.
