Ashley Madison: Sexo, mentiras y escándalos

This series show how a website exploited married people who wanted to cheat on their spouses without getting caught.

What is truly amazing is the sheer number: at one point, 37 millions subscribers !

Also some of the characters are presented as actually very good people. One is a Christian who really loved his wife and kids. Another one is a respected minister in a church.

However, what is unbelievable is that these millions of people gladly gave all their most private information and trusted the website to protect their privacy.

I watched the whole 3 episodes in one sitting.

I thought it was well put together by Netflix.

In the early 2000's, when online dating was still relatively taboo, one firm took the monotony out of monogamy, Ashley Madison, unfortunately for the company and users, the site was hacked, and details made public.

Ok, so it's not exactly enlightening or educational, it's the kind of series you'll watch as you have tea and toast, whilst reading your newspaper, what it is, is an interesting story about human behaviour.

You will hear from hypocrites, more hypocrites, and a few people who very much have their feet on the ground.

I had a few questions, who did it, what would the fallout be, and would she stay with him?

You get some answers, unfortunately not all of them, but it's worth sticking with, episodes two and three are a lot more satisfying.

I wish Netflix would take note of so many comments, focused on the same thing, stop making your documentaries so long, this is yet another example, part one is virtually redundant, it establishes one thing, people cheat.

7/10.

This is interesting as this happened in the age where no one knew the impact of cyber attacks. This is similar to all dating websites these days. Documentry is well made and directed except the couple who look like they are just there to promote their youtube channel and flaunt fake love. I just ended up skipping all their interviews and scenes. The documentary focuses less on cyber attack but more on this couple. It's almost as if they invested their own money on this documentary. May be they did invest money and if they did then it is justified that they get so much footage out of it. Anyway, i did watch it at 1.5 speed.

It was an interesting premise. I enjoyed hearing the story of how Ashley Madison began and how they marketed the website. However, they took an idea that had enough content for a 1-1.5 hour tv special and turned it into three separate hour long episodes. It was very bloated and repetitive in a lot of places. The personal stories of the interviewees were also drawn out. The show did have some interesting facts and perspectives within it and it was well put together. However, I found myself skipping a number of interviews and scenes because of how repetitive it was. You're probably better just googling the story rather than watching this show.

A story really that was not compelling or needed to be told,unless it changes minds of those who think deceiving is productive or lucrative.

What bothers me as much as cheaters are those who forgive or push blame,it was the other person & so forth.. Bottom line: Cheaters don't change,really-They just get smarter doing it!

If the victims don't hold people accountable they are only causing a chain reaction,for others to experience the same type fate.

Any website is responsible for how personal data is used,especially after promising things being secure.

Those involved in this didn't seem to learn anything,otherwise this cash cow series wouldn't of been produced.

Lastly- YouTube couple.. Before seeing this did years back catch a few of their videos,they always gave me the ick factor due to not feeling authentic of many things.
