Undercover Underage

I like the show and love that it brings to light that these type of operations exist. It takes a certain type of person to see what they see and what have to deal with. The people with their bad reviews and criticisms of Roo obviously have no concept of age; sure it's a bit of a stretch to believe that she could pull off being a 15 year old, but with the right lighting (obviously not a black light like one idiot suggested), makeup and mannerisms...it can be done to fool these type of criminals. I would have put her in her late 20s, before she was all made up. The fact is that they actually help put away actual sexual predators and that's all that matters.

Thanks you for all the work you're doing to not only take these predators off the street, but shine a light on how these depraved men work. So many are teachers which is devastating. You're providing information on tactics used by these men which in turn could quite possibly save a life. In some instances we catch a glimpse of the sacrifices you make with your family and although it's hard it is my firm belief that when they are older and realize what you are doing they will not only understand, but view you for what you (all) really are, a HERO. The work you're doing is so important. Best wishes moving forward and my ultimate thanks from a fellow mother.

"Undercover Underage" does true crime right. No exploitation or cheap thrills. Just solid work exposing online predators and protecting kids.

The production team's decoy setups and social media profiles feel authentic. SOSA only targets serious offenders. Everything's methodical and legal-it's a definite improvement from "To Catch a Predator." Each sting operation shows how predators operate online. It's educational without being preachy.

The episodes follow a formula. You know what's coming. But it respects its subject matter while keeping viewers hooked. I binge watched it and am hoping for more seasons.

The severity of predators is 100% a real concern. This isn't about that but about the show in it's entirety. Overall it's still very much a show and many of the editing and shots are done to be as dramatic, shocking, and as enticing as possible.

It's almost like a glorification of it in some sense but wrapped around a very creepy and serious issue. It's 'based on true events' of some sorts. Many times through the show I get the sense that it's all fake and scripted. I don't know if it's the bad acting or obviously rehearsed scenes they had to redo a few times.

Overall it's somewhat informative as it made me more aware of the issue at hand and why it's very important to protect our children from the dangers of the world. I do believe the 'SOSA' group is doing more good than harm so it's an overall net positive.

I just binged season 1 and it is amazing! Love the suow, however the cast is always dramatic with certain things. Its understandable that they don't need the operation(s) to fail, but half the time it's small things not even related. The dramatic music doesn't help either. If anything, I think its just a bit too dramatic. I love the show tho and support the cause! I think it does have its good & bad moments. Overall, the show's really good, for a reality show atleast. Im not interested in reality, but this honestly got me hooked. Its just a bit too dramatic, but thats the point about some reality shows.
