Stacey Dooley Investigates

Stacey Dooley doesn't have the intelligence or ability to function as an investigative journalist. She's beautiful and somewhat likable but lacks the intellect to apply critical thinking or empathise with people that aren't her. It's a terrible shame that talented journalists have been ignored only as Stacy books multiple jobs that she isn't qualified to do.

If you are looking for hard facts and by-the-book reporting, Stacey Dooley probably isn't for you. However, if you are looking for something with heart, give her a go. Stacey may not always be the most knowledgeable and gets things wrong but her strength is her ability to empathise and connect deeply with those she interviews. I liked that she wasn't always trying to be the most objective or neutral person which can sometimes dehumanise real issues.

Stacey actively places herself in dangerous and compromising positions with her informative documentaries. For a naive looking woman she has accessed the most amazing and dangerous protagonist that we may have never met. The first time I watched her I didn't quite get it. Now I have seen all her efforts I am in admiration of her great work.

Stacey was a perfume seller at Luton airport in the UK. She was picked up to do a youth reality program. She then went on to emote this series. Now she is set to become an omnipresent specialist in uber beige tedium. Lucky us.

"Stacey Dooley Investigates" can be considered as the Wikipedia of the investigative series, at times it gives a rather general overview of a problem. However, this does not make for a bad series. Stacey is a charming girl with a big accent. She tackles problems in a very middle class and sometimes blissfully ignorant way, which can be a tricky formula for some watchers.

The series tends to grabs the watcher by the hand and makes them follow Stacey's quest of satisfying her curiosity concerning the problems at hand.

To compare this series to a Louis Theroix or Anthony Bourdain is unfair, and unnecessary. If a comparison has to be made I would suggest it to be the little sister of Ross Kemps Extreme World series.
