Can I Tell You a Secret?

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.

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.

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.

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.
