I've just finished 'Love Con Revenge' on Netflix and, honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. The stories themselves are powerful, important even - real people, real heartbreak, real consequences. Romance fraud is such a massive issue, and these cases absolutely deserve to be seen and heard.

But here's where it stumbles: Cecilie. Her presence feels forced and, dare I say, grating. Rather than letting the victims and their experiences take centre stage, she inserts herself into every single story, desperate to remain relevant. Instead of supporting, she overshadows - and it adds nothing of value to the documentary.

The series leans heavily into sensationalism, with over-dramatised sequences and staged tension that don't quite land. Instead of trusting the raw impact of the victims' stories, it feels like Netflix have wrapped them in glossy theatrics - which only dilutes the authenticity.

That said, I did appreciate that the series doesn't tie everything up neatly. There are no tidy resolutions, because real justice is such a rare commodity. Life rarely gives us clean closure, and the show is at its strongest when it acknowledges that uncomfortable truth.

Love Con Revenge had all the ingredients for a gripping follow-up to 'The Tinder Swindler'. Sadly, what we've ended up with is a show that puts style over substance - and one very determined personality over the voices that truly mattered.

'Unknown Number: The High School Catfish' is a wild ride from start to finish. Skye Borgman has a knack for unravelling these twisted real-life stories in a way that keeps you glued to the screen, and this one is no exception. What starts out as your typical small-town teenage drama quickly spirals into something far darker, more disturbing, and honestly, pretty unbelievable.

The most shocking part isn't just the relentless harassment, but the psychology behind it all. It's crazy what mental illness does to people, especially when it goes unchecked - and watching this unfold, you can't help but feel that she never truly grasped the gravity of what she did. Instead, what comes across is an almost chilling level of detachment, the behaviour of an absolute narcissist who couldn't (or wouldn't) comprehend the damage caused.

As a documentary, it's tight, pacey, and completely bingeable - the kind of thing you finish and immediately want to discuss with someone. But it also left me thinking how many stories like this never see the light of day. Personally, I wish Netflix would give the same treatment to the Amanda Todd case - a tragedy that deserves a thorough, sensitive documentary.

If you're into true crime that blends high school drama with the sinister realities of catfishing and cyberbullying, this one is absolutely worth your time.

'Caught Stealing' is a very watchable film - it's chaotic, stylish and full of energy from the very first scene. You can tell it's trying really hard to be something Guy Ritchie-esque with its quick pacing, eccentric characters and that mix of comedy and violence. Sometimes it works, but other times the plot just veers into nonsense. There are moments where you can feel the film straining to hold everything together, and not every beat lands the way it wants to.

That said, it's still a fun ride. The cast throw themselves into the madness, the cat is genuinely a scene-stealer, and there's enough style and momentum to keep you engaged even when the story wobbles. As long as you manage your expectations and don't go in expecting perfection, you'll probably find yourself entertained. Messy, yes - but very watchable.
