About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like twisty scam stories and cautionary true-crime docs like The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman or Don’t Pick Up the Phone; Not for you if you dislike upsetting family conflict or victim-blaming debates.

Pros: gripping true-crime story; fast, single-film pacing; lots of evidence | Cons: frustrating choices by victims; some find narration irritating; emotionally heavy watch
