Carla Hay Culture Mix May 31
Filmed mostly from 2014 to 2016, this outdated docuseries is more of a showcase for attention-seeking, mentally ill people than a productive crime investigation. Necessary updates are purposely left out, making the series look manipulative. Go to Full Review

Krystle B @RT33533819 4d I really got into this show, lots of build-up and intrigue. I was excited to see the conclusion, then... Nothing. When I realized there weren't any more episodes and no more were coming, I wasn't just disappointed, I was genuinely annoyed. Talk about a cliff hanger! And the previews showed parts that didn't even happen, leading to even more confusion and irritation! Seriously, even if there's going to be another season in the future, this was a horrible let-down of a season 1. See more Benjamin K. @Sirbeej Jun 15 *Spoiler Alert* If you like engaging investigative journalism with compelling characters THAT HAVE NO RESOLUTION, then this is perfect for you! Like DNA sampling with no revealing of results. People who go missing, then return, then go missing again and that’s how it ends? Mob families with no names or hints. Something that, upon ending of the final episode makes you want to throw your remote into your large LED TV - you’ve landed on the right show. Not even a hook to make you want to watch the second season. Precision documentary fail. Total Waste of time. See more Birthe S @Bibbelibo Jun 7 Deaply irresponsable "documentary" turning more and more paranoid, showing no actual evidence as it goes. Not actual journalism, sources being manipulated and coersed, and the main character abandons the project, probably when he realizes that these are unprofessional people. Don't watch this hot mess. See more Dan C @cinemacriterion May 31 Interesting story, poor filmmaking and production make this tough to get through. See more Stacey B. @dazyb73 May 31 What a waste of time.
