The only episode tgat really engrossed me was Rita Crundwell.

She was a local girl who got a job as a secretary at city hall, eventually gets herself appointed Treasurer and embezzles millions over a period of years to fund her horse breeding hobby. No one ever questioned her numbers, they just believed they were the only town in America that never experienced any kind of econic recovery, while she's building her ranch and traveling the country to show horses.

$53 million dollars in public money to fund her lifestyle.

Addictive as hell. I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about this show saying in a twisted sort of way I admired the unbridled moxie of these people. It is the American spirit channeled in a more sinister direction.
