I thought I was the only one here who watches Lifetime movies. There’s no better way to unwind after a long ICU shift than enjoying a cheesy movie with a formulaic plot, melodramatic dialogue, ridiculous twists, and over-the-top bad girl characters.
I think we had a previous post discussing how the climax of many of these movies feature a catfight between the villainess and the “good girl” protagonist. But as sinclairfan pointed out, sometimes the villainess beats a secondary character before getting to the main event with the heroine.
