This is a waste of time and she's guilty as a sin
I am having such a hard time keeping my strong dislike of this woman separate from my opinon about the documentary itself.
The filmmakers do, definitely, make an effort to present this topic in an unbiased way, but I'd posit they fail as Sarma is given way too much space and time on the camera and doesn't seem to be challenged or questioned in any meaningful way. It's more like a little friendly chat rather than any questioning.
A few other reviewers here compare the documentary to Tinder Swindler. You can't make a worse comparison. Sarma was not swindled, she knew what she was doing and all the bolony she came up with to maker herself look like the victim is ridiculous to say the least. My opinion is that she tried to swindle and instead got swindled herself.
Please, Netflix, can you make more meaningful documentaries on more worthy subjects? Pretty please? Rich, white, privileged pretty faces have been given enough exposure already...
This topic is good for one podcast episode, not Netflix series... do better.
