Je peux te dire un secret?

I can't understand the negative reviews. Yes it could have been shorter, however the feeling of being stalked for 2 years is really felt.

It makes you feel for the victims what they have endured and the frustration with police support.

It also again stresses the dangers of social media and how one can be to depending on it.

Good to hear that more support now is in place for the victims. It is good education material for the youth with the message, be open and talk to your relatives and friends so that they know what is happening. I was surprised how the victims where less believed than online messages.

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.

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.

Blurry re enactments of a person near or on the phone or something somewhere, screenshots of phones & texts.. that's 80 % of what we see. Make it 85.

Ridiculous producion presenting daft people offering no real insight into or solution to this wide spread problem. No interviews about current laws and how to change this issue. Just a blah copy paste statement by police at the end.

But it's important you stylize it as much as you can, right?

Idk what's happening but British docus seem to be going downhill regarding content & presentation.

It's getting ridiculous.

Don't make yourself watch or finish it... there is nothing really to gain from it.

... and truly I hate to say that, and that it's in essence true but this is wholly unnecessary - it's like so what's next? We make documentaries about elderly who get phone calls about thier car warranties? This is life in today's world! This is what humanity is, isn't it? We, as a society, should have or needed to have dealt with this sooner or barring that, unfortunately, just not done the social media - which is easy for me to say cause I don't (and I don't because I know humans, they're horrible) so if u accept the perils of putting your life out there then may I offer some advice? Don't fall for solicitus messages like 'can I tell you a secret' and on a personal note re the documentarians - you guys are trash! With that gratuitous creepy voice (which wasnt a recreation of the fraudsters voice, it was a dramatic reading of the text) and all this nonsensical b-roll of the messages following the phone lines and internet cable! Suuuch a poor device and not even accurate about how it works - this is almost an all-time low and as a society we need to (I NEED TO) stop consuming thier content and furthering this decline in 'Idiocracy'

But allow me to ammend my comments by adding this very important aspect which is : I do have complete sympathy for the women that fell victim to this, I am not saying that it's thier fault that the were asking for it or that they deserved it - of course not! I was saying that it's unfortunate that this IS imo par for a human to do to another via the anonymity of the internet and that we need to expect this, SADLY, and act accordingly - it's tragic I know but until we prove that we can be better to one another then this will always continue to happen.
