This is a documentary on Netflix (I hope it's still streaming there, I saw it twice last month though), about a black woman who became a successful jewel thief.

I posted about it not too long ago in the Netflix thread y'all started on here, but I was wondering if anyone else has watched it?

If so, thoughts?

I love documentaries, first of all. I wasn't quite sure what to think of this, but the synopsis caught my eye so I pressed play. Wow, this woman!! I honestly couldn't help but laugh as I watched. I don't condone crime, and I don't think it's funny, but her attitude and reasoning was funny to me. In a way, though, I also felt sad for her because it's almost like she didn't live a very fulfilling life. But if it's fulfilling to her, who am I to make that claim? I liked that she had a friend who stuck by her through it all.

I don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but if anyone has seen it, I'm curious to know your take on it?

Edited: Had to fix grammatical errors!
