2/5
There is much to unpack about systemic misogyny and the dismissal of women’s stories and the crimes against them, but Love Con Revenge is more interested in action than attitudes or the reasons behind them. Go to Full Review

3/5
It's harrowing stuff, but like many unscripted true crime shows, many key moments feel staged. Go to Full Review
Alison Lanier Pajiba Sep 12, 2025
Do the hosts’ talking head portions often feel badly scripted? Is it often awkwardly formulaic? Yes and yes and yes. But the heart of it is real investigative work that really hands back some level of agency and dignity to the victims. Go to Full Review

We like seeing the scammers that are being investigated in Love Con Revenge held responsible for their cons. But the production values of the series really make it hard to pay attention to the cases themselves. Go to Full Review

3/5
...I think it’s safe to say that Love Con Revenge will be a guilty pleasure for many. Especially fans of true crime documentaries like The Tinder Swindler. And the cases covered in the six episodes of season 1 are pretty damn brutal. Go to Full Review

Emily L @RT28865767 2 days ago Episode 6 is nearly unwatchable with the amount of times Lindsay says "like". The rest of the series is pretty disappointing, as the team is unable to help the people who have been defrauded actually get help. Lots of running around, chasing defrauders on highways with little resolution. See more Patricia B @PatriciaBruni Jan 18, 2026 Loved this show! I don't understand the bad reviews. If the bad reviews are because of a lack of drama well duh they aren't actresses! Hope to see many more episodes! See more David W @InvestigatorDavid Jan 4, 2026 This is by far the most amateur docuseries of all time. Super cheesy and zero evidence for most of the cases. It's a hate-watch show. Recommend it to people you don't like. See more Josef G @Jimmygoombas Nov 19, 2025 It can feel at times contrived and overly rehearsed like a reality tv program, but the real stories and con men at the center are sooo fascinating and disturbing that it makes up for the occasional awkwardness. The private investigator is the real star of the show, and watching her track down and confront these men is extremely satisfying to watch See more Matt L @Chubbski Oct 19, 2025 The absolute worst, most contrived, documentary I’ve seen in awhile. The two women (who are making money off this) spout such rehearsed conversations and emotions and empathy it’s sickening. You want to do some good? Do some good outside of the camera. The irony is they make a show about people scamming people, and have sensitive, impactful conversations with people on the camera to make money for themselves. Those people get paid? Or you making money off them? Hell…they don’t even get resolution for two of the individuals and gloss over it (nice job forcing the emotional “resolution” for them - gotta fill that six episode quota after all so make it work). Where’s the “revenge” when someone doesn’t punish the criminal? Worthless and more soap opera than true life. See more Maggie H @maggiemac Sep 17, 2025 This show had great potential, after the success of The Tinder Swindler. Unfortunately it really doesn’t live up to the hype. There are pros and cons here. The camaraderie between all of the women is touching. The stories are interesting. Hopefully it sheds some light on how these fraudsters work, and how even seemingly savvy people can fall victim to them. But the biggest frustrations with this show are the amateurishness and unprofessional behaviour going on (oh Ricky ran away and the cops couldn’t find him? Perhaps because you LITERALLY TRACKED HIM DOWN TO FILM HIM INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE POLICE?!?! What is this, Catfish?!). The cringeworthy, fake phone conversations are almost too much to bear. Netflix really does miss the mark as often as they hit it, these days. See more Read all reviews
