A story really that was not compelling or needed to be told,unless it changes minds of those who think deceiving is productive or lucrative.
What bothers me as much as cheaters are those who forgive or push blame,it was the other person & so forth.. Bottom line: Cheaters don't change,really-They just get smarter doing it!
If the victims don't hold people accountable they are only causing a chain reaction,for others to experience the same type fate.
Any website is responsible for how personal data is used,especially after promising things being secure.
Those involved in this didn't seem to learn anything,otherwise this cash cow series wouldn't of been produced.
Lastly- YouTube couple.. Before seeing this did years back catch a few of their videos,they always gave me the ick factor due to not feeling authentic of many things.

No matter how interesting the subject matter may be, this "series" is biased beyond belief. At first I almost couldn't believe that the victims of this doc were the unfaithful partners, it just seemed insane. But yes, we were expected to watch the cheaters explain their stories as if they are recounting traumatic events and feel sorry for them.
The "victims" paint themselves as naive and discontent partners tricked into doing something stupid (not immoral, just stupid) who then faced unfair consequences.
It's quite rich that the filmmakers have people in the doc explaining how the hack ruined so many lives, and yet don't see the hypocrisy that they are defending those guilty of infidelity, which undoubtedly ruins lives. They want us to be scared of the group responsible for the hack, but I think they should be seen as America's most noble whistleblowers.

It was an interesting premise. I enjoyed hearing the story of how Ashley Madison began and how they marketed the website. However, they took an idea that had enough content for a 1-1.5 hour tv special and turned it into three separate hour long episodes. It was very bloated and repetitive in a lot of places. The personal stories of the interviewees were also drawn out. The show did have some interesting facts and perspectives within it and it was well put together. However, I found myself skipping a number of interviews and scenes because of how repetitive it was. You're probably better just googling the story rather than watching this show.
We weren't planning to watch this three-part docu-series, but a few extra hours the other day and a fetid curiosity led us astray and we binged it in one sitting. Once again, I'll save you the time and unless you really care about a skeezy website that helps people have affairs, there isn't much there there. I'd heard about the major hack, but knew (or cared) little about it and after watching this show, I didn't feel much sympathy for the people whose names were leaked. However, the show did raise an interesting point about the people who dove into the data and made it more easily accessible. As we continue to see, vigilante internet mobs can be dangerous, with their self-righteousness and certitude. The most empathetic character was the wife of the pastor who killed himself after his name appeared in the leak, and the least interesting (and annoying) had to be the nauseating Christian influencer couple who took up the most screen time. I needed a shower after watching this and am convinced Noel Biderman is one of the more despicable and poisonous pied pipers in the business world.
This is interesting as this happened in the age where no one knew the impact of cyber attacks. This is similar to all dating websites these days. Documentry is well made and directed except the couple who look like they are just there to promote their youtube channel and flaunt fake love. I just ended up skipping all their interviews and scenes. The documentary focuses less on cyber attack but more on this couple. It's almost as if they invested their own money on this documentary. May be they did invest money and if they did then it is justified that they get so much footage out of it. Anyway, i did watch it at 1.5 speed.
