Matt Roush says...
In the docuseries’ second and middle installment, titled “Talked to Death,” the rise of so-called “trash TV” keeps audiences riveted and critics appalled as producers and hosts keep pushing the messy envelope, encouraging guests to air and even flaunt the dirtiest of laundries. Then came the watershed incident on The Jenny Jones Show in 1995, when one guest murdered another after an embarrassing reveal staged for public titillation. The backlash after this tragedy had people wondering if the genre had finally gone too far and when the pendulum would swing back toward civility.
