About
You’ll likely be into this if you enjoy true-crime documentaries that mix scandal with social commentary, especially if The Pharmacist or Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine appealed to you; Not for you if you want a straightforward, tightly chronological breakdown.
Pros: sharp social-media critique; deeper scam context; darkly funny moments | Cons: uneven structure; repetitive at times; cheesy reenactments
