About

You’ll likely want this if you’re drawn to true-crime documentaries that trace how an online image fractures a family, but Not for you if you want a light watch or prefer stories with less distressing, real-life child abuse content.

Pros: gripping family investigation; disturbing real footage; compelling but upsetting | Cons: very hard to watch; pacing feels stretched; some bias concerns
