About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a deep, interview-heavy true-crime breakdown with lots of side stories and details; Not for you if you prefer tight pacing or minimal time with perpetrators, like in The Confession Tapes.
Pros: fascinating real-life scam; lots of case details; entertaining investigator interviews | Cons: stretched over six episodes; too much perpetrator focus; uneven, slow pacing
