The lives of three women are forever changed when a prolific stalker infiltrates their social-media accounts. And they're only a fraction of his many victims.The lives of three women are forever changed when a prolific stalker infiltrates their social-media accounts.

I can't understand the negative reviews. Yes it could have been shorter, however the feeling of being stalked for 2 years is really felt.
It makes you feel for the victims what they have endured and the frustration with police support.
It also again stresses the dangers of social media and how one can be to depending on it.
Good to hear that more support now is in place for the victims. It is good education material for the youth with the message, be open and talk to your relatives and friends so that they know what is happening. I was surprised how the victims where less believed than online messages.

Blurry re enactments of a person near or on the phone or something somewhere, screenshots of phones & texts.. that's 80 % of what we see. Make it 85.
Ridiculous producion presenting daft people offering no real insight into or solution to this wide spread problem. No interviews about current laws and how to change this issue. Just a blah copy paste statement by police at the end.
But it's important you stylize it as much as you can, right?
Idk what's happening but British docus seem to be going downhill regarding content & presentation.
It's getting ridiculous.
Don't make yourself watch or finish it... there is nothing really to gain from it.

When it comes to true crime I nearly always prefer British programs to American ones. But this one is done in the same way as the US ones.
Lots of scary music and sounds. Everything dragged out with pointless visuals. And the same visuals over and over again. They must have shown data going down telephone lines 200 times throughout this program.
The 'scary' voice just became childish over time.
The pace was needlessly slow. This could have been done in about 45 minutes, comfortably.
Skip through it. You won't miss much. The end of both episodes is where the story is mainly told.
It's a shame because the women really were made to suffer. Their complaints were totally valid and should have been acted on much sooner by the police. The gave the standard corporate BS excuses in a statement at the end. I don't anything has changed there.

Social media has become quite the sport. How many followers you have is a testimony to your popularity. Really? Who made up these rules, a 13 year old teenager? Reminds me of middle schoolers discovering that 7th and 8th grade is a big step into the social media arena. You no longer go out for recess or play on the swings and merry go round. You become more focused on who is in your grade. Now you exchange your email address and begin communicating with people in your social media account's. As you become more proficient, you'll start receiving spam emails and communication from people you have no clue who they are. Welcome to social media.
I would be remiss if I didn't include good social media accomplishments. Connecting with old friends and finding lost relatives. But the typical social media user will soon be asking how do I get out of this?
In my opinion this documentary is very shallow. There was an opportunity to share the pitfalls, like stalking and identity theft, and help. Can I tell you a secret? Skip this documentary and create a list of your accounts, who to contact if there is a problem and don't give your email address to just anyone. Consider creating a 2nd email address to use for general inquiries, not linked to any of your financial or personal information. But don't hide behind your social media accounts. Don't be a slave to the notification sound. Go outside, take a walk, enjoy nice weather, visit friends.

First of all - This is a story that should be told. I just wish it was told in a different way. There were lots of unnecessary parts to this series. Firstly, It could have been done in 1 episode. The ominous voice overs. He didn't actually distort his voice at all. I just felt it was done to make him sound more creepy. The cut away scenes - these people say they've experienced a traumatic time, yet here they are reenacting scenes in their best clothes, hair and make up. I also did not hear one person say "I blocked the number".
I'm not condoning what this guy did, AT ALL. But some of these people kept engaging with him. Then, continued to use social media like it was an essential part of their life. I couldn't help think - what are you doing? BLOCK! REPORT! IGNORE! Remove yourself from social media.
A series that gives repetitive and information and dragged out way too long, whilst trying to over dramatise the situation. I would have been more engaged without the unnecessary extras trying to make it a dark and gritty documentary. 4/10.
