View Details Critic Reviews for Love Fraud Season 1 All Critics (25) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (2) Sometimes you don't have to meet a genius to feel taken advantage of; just a person who knows how to recognize what you want and haven't ever had. Sep 4, 2020 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic "Love Fraud" is a fantastic series built for anyone who has survived the last three years on social media. Aug 25, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Kristen Lopez indieWire Top Critic This is one of the fastest 200 minutes you'll see all year. Jan 28, 2020 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic It's a ripping ride but it's the final episode in which, among other things, we come face to face with the hunted man, that Love Fraud really delivers its sucker punch. Sep 9, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Melinda Houston Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic Love Fraud finds triumph in women's collective strength. It's a vital corrective for a genre that often underestimates its biggest fans, as well as an extremely fun ride. Sep 4, 2020 | Full Review… Judy Berman TIME Magazine Top Critic Love Fraud does certainly have thrilling moments, but to frame the four hours as women banding together and hunting down a man who's conned them and worse-well, that's not exactly it. Sep 27, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred The lesson to be learned here is that if a person claims to be either a professional water-skier, pilot or successful entrepreneur, you really should swipe left. Sep 13, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Adrian Hennigan Haaretz Oscar-nominated filmmakers Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing bring a real-time urgency to this compact and addictive four-part docuseries that's packed with nifty twists. A true story as bizarre as Tiger King, only more satisfying. Sep 4, 2020 | Full Review… Roger Catlin AARP Movies for Grownups The show feels like it's got one episode too many in the middle, but overall, it's a compelling glimpse into a bizarre long game from a predator. Sep 4, 2020 | Full Review… Kimberly Ricci Uproxx Love Fraud gets off to an interesting start, and only promises to get weirder and more interesting from there. Sep 4, 2020 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider With this foray into a multi-episodic format, they prove the extra time isn't just for indulgence's sake; they skillfully use the structure to draw an audience in, create connections to their subjects and ensure every moment of drama gets its due. Sep 4, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review Love Fraud is ultimately an immensely satisfying documentary series, but it's also addictively entertaining. Sep 4, 2020 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba View All Critic Reviews (25) Audience Reviews for Love Fraud: Season 1 Sep 23, 2020 This could have been presented in 2 episodes. Very slow. Sharon D Sep 22, 2020 The con man and the producers deserve each other: The con man for being such a loathsome creep who gives MANkind a bad name and the producers for giving him a platform to get his message out to the masses. Rich S Sep 19, 2020 So far this is a great series. I don't get the bad reviews about the animations; their kind of annoying but they are not intrusive at all. I find it fascinating how anyone defends this guy but watch the series and you'll see why one woman does. Charles S Sep 16, 2020 This Showtime doc was advertised as being binge worthy like the Tiger King. However, it fell completely flat. It was poorly directed and produced. There were a lot of characters and even more drama to work with, that was put together like absolute crap. Save your time, and read a well written article for the full story. I wish someone would have saved me the time!
