    Good basic info

    Good basic information about how technology is misused by criminals. I was not so keen at all about what appeared to me to be glorification of Rigmaiden's cleverness he used to mitigate his blatantly criminal behavior. Frankly, he disgusts me and his story didn't warrant two episodes.

    It's definitely a varied, interesting series.

    When virtual becomes reality, crimes that have one thing in common, all done behind the screen of an online shield.

    It can be hard at first to see how the series fits, to piece it together, and to be honest there's no need to.

    It will evoke several different emotions, disgust, shock, awe and definitely curiosity. Two episodes revolted me for different reasons, I'm sure I don't need to highlight which they are, if you've watched the series, you'll know the ones.

    Prepare to meet some hideous, awful human beings, again I don't need to say who, but how on Earth these people get attention, and a following is beyond me.

    For me, the highlight was The Stingray, a mind blowing two parter, which I found truly jaw dropping.

    It's very well made, it's so well put together, it's one of those shows that you could easily binge watch over a day or so, I did.

    7/10.

    This is just a far left propaganda masqueradimg as a documentary

    Nothing much to see in this. Just bunch of people handed a mic and then asked to give their opinion. Literally Netflix has gotten so woke that even their "documentaries" are just a smash of fake news, false narratives, and leftist disinformation campaign.

    Good show, ignore the ratings. Nazis got triggered.

    There is an episode about nazis and alt-right and seems like it has triggered bunch of snowflakes to bring the rating down. Don't let it affect you. Solid show with good stories.

    Did the cop's friends & family write these bad reviews?

    Don't listen to the conservatives whining in these bad reviews. They get triggered by logic. The documentary provides a wide range of information that you can further research yourself. It's far less one sided than the right wingers are insinuating. If at the very least, these are stories by people who were deeply affected by horrifying circumstances.
