    Could've Been Good... But That Voice

    Con Mom had potential - the story is wild, the production isn't bad, and it's the kind of show that should pull you in easily. But there's one thing I just couldn't get past: Heather Kaniuk.

    She plays one of the main characters, but her voice is so painfully forced - like this fake, low, raspy tone that sounds like she's trying way too hard to be intense or mysterious. It's not natural, it's not engaging... it's just ugh. Every time she speaks, it completely takes me out of the story. It feels like a parody of a true crime character rather than a believable performance.

    I'm sorry, but it's genuinely one of the most irritating and frustrating vocal performances I've ever heard on a show. It's killing the vibe entirely.

    I wanted to like it, but I just can't sit through it with that voice constantly dragging things down.

    the story of this man is sad and awful

    Very good documentary.

    I was asking myself, if everyone in this documentary are the real protagonists, or if they are impersonated by actors.. the reason is that there is so many documents footage, and they appeared to be in superior quality, i know that phones can produce very good stuff, but here, you got more the impression of watching a movie than any stuff through Tik-tok... I mean, we see all along the movie shots of the (horrible) mother that are in a very good quality... Well, however, watch this documentary, it's very well made, and i feel very sorry for this man and his awful mum. This kind of reminded me the novel of John Waters "liar mouth" , about a con artist, except in this documentary , the mum is even worst than the awful woman described by John Waters. Being WORST than a John Waters's character ... WOW!

    Like mum, like son

    While the villain here is obviously the mum, the real villain to me is the son. Like his mum, Graham exhibits no real joy or anger or any genuine emotion. His cold retelling the story, his limp excuses, his emotionless expression, his negligence of his wife and son are all that needs to be told. Like so many people bordering on sociopathy, Graham tells a good tale and the doc makes it seems like he's a good guy, a victim. But he's not. Heather and his son are the real victims.

    While the documentary on the surface is kind to Graham, underneath you being to feel the creepiness of the man. It's not just that he and his mum look alike, they are alike in most ways. And that's the true value of the documentary. Unfortunately, not everyone will see through Graham and that's the shame.

    (Same could be said for the woeful Peng. He shows this documentary is also a story of the toll of avarice coupled with naivete has on people who put themselves first.)

    Anticipating Being Scammed

    In this gripping film, the intricacies of deception unfold as it reveals how the scammed were, in many ways, willing participants in their own downfall. The direction is sharp, effectively showcasing the receipts of their misplaced trust. One can only hope that the total amount lost pales in comparison to the film's production costs. The narrative cleverly highlights that those scammed were ultimately biding their time, anticipating a payoff upon her demise. While I don't condone scamming, this story serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating that sometimes, those seeking a quick gain get exactly what they deserve. A thought-provoking watch!

    Very Touching.

    We are used to seeing Romance scams and other types of scams but this, is different. You have to put yourself in Graham's shoes just as one would for people who were given up for adoption and yearning for that missing part of them. Unlike romance, this, is biological and hard to understand unless, you have grown up without one or both biological parent(s).

    Cannot believe that woman at that age is still scamming. Certain, has done so all her life. Poor Graham.

    As for those wondering why Graham seemed so non-chalant narrating the story, he has been through a lot and i wish him and family well.
