Should you like studying about serial killers, scammers, cults, dodgy medical doctors, tech fraudsters, faux millionaires, Tiger Kings and the unbelievable clusterfuck that was FyreFest, then Netflix has bought you lined with a number of documentaries. Bother is they aren’t all gold, and don’t all lend themselves to the format. A superb story doesn’t equal a very good documentary, such is the case with Candy Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare.
That is the unbelievable story of a younger girl, Kirat, from the South Asian group dwelling in London who meets a person named Bobby through Fb. Bobby is aware of members of Kirat’s household and although the 2 of them have solely met in individual as soon as and really briefly, they forge a strong bond on-line that lasts a few years. However clearly they don’t, because the title of the movie signifies.
This story was initially instructed on a podcast known as Candy Bobby from Tortoise Media – it’s an ideal podcast instructed over six episodes with Kirat’s story unfolding guided by glorious host Alexi Mostrous. That is a fully wild story (which we received’t spoil), involving a monumental quantity of labor and a number of threads, with an unbelievable and truly fairly unhappy end result that affected Kirat’s life.
We’d extremely suggest the podcast. Should you’ve heard it already you very a lot don’t have to hassle with the Netflix effort. A characteristic size doc working at 1 hr 22, the present actually doesn’t cowl any important floor not within the podcast, aside from letting us meet among the individuals concerned within the flesh.
