Chasing Cameron

I am not entirely sure why Netflix took on this show. I almost hope they did this as a joke to show how ridiculous "MAGCON" really is. The group is essentially made up of slightly above-average looking children who take advantage of the fact that millions of impressionable pre-teen girls around the world are willing to pay just to be in their presence. The fact that they even take themselves seriously is almost humorous, and whenever the camera cuts to interview each of the boys individually, the things they say are so unintelligent and illogical that it's laughable at times. These boys have no idea how to carry themselves professionally, the one kid Taylor is an ego maniac, and the others are just kind of in the background. They call themselves the "talent" but I'm really not entirely sure what talent any of them have other than jumping around on stage while girls scream. I'm not sure how the CEO Bart came into the picture, but he seems like a weirdo who preys on teenage boys' daddy issues. These kids live in a dream world, and this show was essentially just a way to promote themselves even further. Pretty addicting to watch, though, it's interesting to see what these kids view as reality and how preposterous it is.

At first I thought this was a parody. Then I thought it was a nightmare. All these young men wanting to be famous without a talent, other than persistence and youth. A few FIND their love of music after their instagram fame. But then I got hooked and it just became sad. One kid had a song that was so similar to another rap song I am waiting for a law suit. Lots of the kids (mostly white) have sad backgrounds with divorce or bullying. Cameron is a smart kid with business smarts. But what are they doing? Do the ever read a book? They never discuss anything deep, but only their own fans and money. Their handlers (except for one Mom) look bewildered. The idiotic girls, who in another generation would simply be Tiger Beat subscribers, become a real security threat. All this to be noticed. Excellent look at the downside of fame. One manager was even texting while driving! That's the idiotic world they live in. I think Cameron will survive with his hustle. Good male model material, which was his original goal. The others I fear will meet a sad fate of many child actors. Weird show but addicting.

What a disgrace.

They left a black boy behind in another country and didn't do anything about it. Pays to be white in America.

This show should be banned.

Shame on Netflix.

this show is so good. i couldn't stop watching it. i finished the whole show in one night. i know i am supposed to hate it but i definitely do not and am now having withdrawals without another season to binge. this show has so much drama and gives an inside look at social media influencers life. the magcon boys encountered a lot of problems along the way and overcame a lot in the first season of this show. can't wait to see what season 2 has to offer.

It's just terrible waste of time. If "Haters back off!" was funny enough to watch, this is just ZERO. A bunch of kids who got no talent at anything just showing off their abs and Calvin's to screaming girls. It's just this! Huge mistake of Netflix. I googled the subject and was not happy to knew that Shawn Mendes was messing around with that bunch of so-called "social media influence". I'm not surprised that there is just one review - it's very hard to describe what happening on the screen in more just one sentence. I've read in some reviews that Cameron Dallas will have a big future in Hollywood - doubt this. What's the most disappointing for me is that there are lots of really talented kids and teens on the social media who are really talented in what they do - like Shawn Mendes, all the sports-persons, amateur singers, musicians, but we got this...
