Darf ich dir ein Geheimnis verraten?

Episode 1 could have been shrank into 20 minutes. So much repetition. Very poorly edited and the main protagonists narrating the episode doesn't work for me at all. Could have done with a Louie Theroux character asking the odd question to break it up a bit. 50 minutes of constant upset is a lot to take. It only got interesting in the last 2 minutes of the episode. Part two a tad better when we meet the police involved in the investigation. The whole ambience of both episodes just didn't work for me at all. Made a semi interesting story and investigation sound very tedious and dull. That's just my opinion after all.

First of all - This is a story that should be told. I just wish it was told in a different way. There were lots of unnecessary parts to this series. Firstly, It could have been done in 1 episode. The ominous voice overs. He didn't actually distort his voice at all. I just felt it was done to make him sound more creepy. The cut away scenes - these people say they've experienced a traumatic time, yet here they are reenacting scenes in their best clothes, hair and make up. I also did not hear one person say "I blocked the number".

I'm not condoning what this guy did, AT ALL. But some of these people kept engaging with him. Then, continued to use social media like it was an essential part of their life. I couldn't help think - what are you doing? BLOCK! REPORT! IGNORE! Remove yourself from social media.

A series that gives repetitive and information and dragged out way too long, whilst trying to over dramatise the situation. I would have been more engaged without the unnecessary extras trying to make it a dark and gritty documentary. 4/10.

I've read some reviews and the victim blaming is just crazy. I'm not really that prone to post about my life online but there are people who feel comfortable in doing that and they are also allowed to do that.

No one deserves to be terrorized and stalked like these women did!

I understand that police couldn't do anything at a specific point and time but taking one's fear as granted is beyond me.

The documentary could be done in one episode, that is true and the effect the stalker had in the first episode put him in some kind of spotlight that he didn't deserve.

In my option the victims need to be heard, their stories need to be shared and social media platforms need to take action against such crimes, for example through strickten regulations.

I won't go into the detail lest I ruin the plot for someone else.

From start to finish, this documentary is more like a reality show expose, not a documentary. The style is not a documentary and simply isn't well directed or produced. It should be classified as a reality show crime reproduction because the sensationalism and fake scenes distract from the story. Which the story, if it actually happened, is pretty creepy and definitely sends the message about the dangers of putting yourself all out there on social media. Anyway, again I can't say more or it'll become a spoiler review.

Suggestion that if you are expecting a documentary in proper old school documentary style, don't watch this but the story is worth reading about so just google it and you can read about it elsewhere.

I also don't like how this series makes the victims look so naive, not the best message to put out there.

The lives of three young women are turned upside down, by a cyber attacker, who delights in creating fake profiles, and decimating relationships.

It's clearly a generational thing, but I do have issue with people who live their lives through social media, and there is an element of that here, some people can't even have a coffee or enjoy a concert, it's tragic.

The first thing, the production, horrible, and sadly that is the major stumbling block, it's bad, expect silly voices, multiple cutaways, and tonnes of emojis, it's unbearable.

It doesn't show The Police in a particularly good light, these young women were clearly tormented, but it doesn't seem as though any of them were taken seriously. What's worse, the realisation that stalkers barely go to jail.

When it came to the sentencing, I was a little shocked to hear that boredom can be taken into account to explain someone's crimes, whatever next.

This should have been so much better, maybe if it had been an hour long presentation it would have triumphed, less the over production.

5/10.
