Has Anyone Seen the New HBO Documentary TV Junkie?

Question by Me: Has anyone seen the new HBO documentary TV Junkie?
It was so depressing! I thought it was a really good documentary. The scenes with his little boy in them were some of the most disturbing scenes I have ever seen!

“Assembled from the more than 3,000 hours of footage shot by Kirkham himself, TV Junkie focuses on a seven-year period in which Kirkham says he used drugs about three times a week. Between stints in rehab, Kirkham’s life unravels like a slow- motion train wreck: He loses his career, family and almost his life in an attempted suicide before getting clean and speaking publicly about the perils of addiction. ”

Wow, I watched it last night. It was terribly depressing and yes, especially the scenes with his kids. God only knows how screwed up they will be from that.

It’s remarkable that his wife remained so supportive.
