'Bad Vegan,' another big new true-crime series on Netflix, has wowed critics pretty much immediately upon its release Friday.
is based on a real-world series of events — specifically, on a conman and the woman who loved him enough to do some indefensibly stupid things. Sarma Melngailis was the celebrity restaurateur behind the once uber-chic New York hotspot Pure Food and Wine. After meeting a man on Twitter in 2011 named Shane Fox, however, she started siphoning money away from her restaurant. And funneling the cash to Fox, who had started conning her into believing he could make all of her dreams come true.
“A few years later the couple, now married and on the lam after stealing nearly $2 million from the restaurant and its staff, are found holed up in a Tennessee motel by law enforcement,” Netflix’s description continues. “Their undoing? A charge made under Fox’s real name, Anthony Strangis, for a Domino’s pizza.
It’s not just on Rotten Tomatoes where the new series is crushing it at the moment, by the way. As of Sunday, March 20,“The most bizarre and surreal story I’d ever heard” Emms continues: “How and why did this nightmare happen to someone like Sarma? It was also a story that I found deeply shocking and cruel, and it felt important that it be told to a wider audience. I had never made a documentary before, but I knew I needed to get this made.”
