Jill S @Jas0705 Jul 27, 2026 McMillion$ had an interesting true story at its core, but it was stretched far beyond what was necessary. Six episodes could have easily been condensed into three. The biggest problem is that too much time is spent on irrelevant storylines and interviews with people who added very little to the overall story. The documentary loses focus by wandering into side characters and personal anecdotes that don’t really contribute to understanding the scam. What made this story compelling was straightforward: what the McDonald’s Monopoly scam was, who the main players were, how they pulled it off, how it finally came to light, how the FBI unraveled the scheme, and what punishments the perpetrators received. That’s the documentary I wanted to watch. Instead, the series is padded, making an intriguing case seem much longer than needed. It’s still worth watching because the scam itself is fascinating, but be prepared for a lot of unnecessary detours before getting to the most interesting parts.

This series present no shortage of interesting characters, whether they had participated in the crime or instead investigated it! A very unique beyond the scenes presentation of how the FBI and law enforcement carry out an investigation from start to finish, with substantial detail on key challenges and moments along the way.

The level of perfection of this documentary feels like fiction; the cast of characters is captivating; FBI special agent Mathews is the star all along: his creativity and courage made him crucial for the investigation to end up successfully. This documentary has it all; criminal investigation, mob characters and civilians falling for a fraudelrbt scheme that prevailed for ten years. It’s a MUST watch!

I would have liked to hear a little more about the IRS components, but maybe I'm a nerd that way. See more Honest D @RT10468612 May 29, 2024 Very interesting. I am a fan of any movie, series, article or book that holds mega corporations responsible for anything. See more Mike P @RT09890132 Mar 25, 2024 Interesting; but maybe it gets a little too far into the weeds with this stuff.. They could have simplified and streamlined alot of this stuff; which I think guess too far into all the ancillary crime factions that are involved in this. I had to watch a couple episodes twice so I could keep track of all the people involved. Where they REALLY should have focused on Jerry Jacobson; the crimelord who headed up this whole scheme.
