These people have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with honest, hard-working armchair detectives. The people featured on this show fall into two categories - people doing this for money (Jenna Cannella), and people doing this to feel important (Olivia). They don't data mine, they don't spend hours raising money for DNA testing, the don't do location sifting, they don't spend hours looking into gruesome police files, hoping to find a connection that the over burdened police missed. Instead, THEY DO NOTHING, but talk about the case of the moment, spending hours rehashing, or worse, spewing baseless theories, about what little nonsense they carry in their heads. THEY ARE CLICK BAIT! Olivia actually had the gall to say that TikTok was better than the real news, because we have no attention span anymore, and people can get everything they need to know about the case from her 30 second video, instead of having to listen to the news, because that could take a whole 2 minutes. OMG, and she actually thinks this a good thing? Congress needs to ban TikTok right now then, not because it's owned by the Chinese, but because it's warping our children's minds. I'm more offended at Paramount +, giving these idiots a platform to spew their misinformation, AND for calling them Cyber SLEUTHS, when they clearly ARE NOT! Interviewing (exploiting) the broken hearted parents of a murder victim, does not make you a detective, neither does vomiting the same tired conspiracy theories to your echo chamber, over and over again. I can see now why the police and judges are irritated with these people.
And about the other comments, saying we shouldn't give this a low rating because we don't like the people, and about how this is a documentary, and we should review it for that, not for the content, WTF? It's bad as a documentary too, not well put together, a lackluster, uninteresting melange of jumbled ideas, with people who are are so shallow, and have so little self esteem, their worth is based on how many followers they have (which this stupid "documentary" actually puts on the screen for all to see, as if this gives them credibility because they have lots of followers). The worst half of these people, are the ones who are clearly doing it for the money (Jenna Cannella), not even trying to hide the fact she's exploiting her followers, by constantly showing off her designer clothes, and sunglasses to her pitiful group of supporters. The sadder part is the "good" half of these people (Olivia), the broken, lonely people who feel important for the first time in their lives because of likes and followers. This "documentary" should have been titled, "So, It Comes to This... And should have been labeled as how social media is a failed sociological experiment. It is damaging our youth in more ways than one (self esteem, time management, disassociation from others, no creativity, no music, no love stories, no life, except a screen, etc). This "documentary" has no redeeming qualities, and Paramount + should be ashamed of itself.
