The show The Baldwins delves into the dual sorrow experienced by the family, particularly focusing on how the Rust tragedy affected Alec personally and its ongoing effects on the rest of the family. While Alec’s OCD is briefly addressed in the first episode, the series offers a poignant portrayal of his post-traumatic stress disorder and subsequent depression. This makes for emotional, if not somber, viewing. The show presents an unusual yet compelling examination of grief, as it portrays Alec’s apparent inability to escape the burden of his past actions, despite their unintentional nature. In the series, Alec appears haunted, with bags under his eyes and moving through his Hamptons home like a ghost. In today’s television landscape saturated with true crime and common cases, it’s unusual to encounter a portrayal of someone dealing with their role in an accidental death. When Hilaria speaks tearfully about Alec expressing suicidal thoughts in the days following the shooting, her pain feels as raw and intense as it did three years ago.

Now, Bettenburg insists he attempted to gain the support of his community, but argues that there wasn’t a perfect way to handle this situation. He also asserts that he did deliver O’Brien’s emotional letter, but his sister didn’t inform him if she read it. In his words, “I don’t think that would have made a difference on her part. At that time, my sister knew what she knew, and so did I.
