Def recommend if you like true crime! Like the other Trainwreck documentaries, it’s a wild, entertaining ride
Best part was, I knew he wasn’t in there because I’m a psychic. Lmfao I love it
I remember this story from when it happened, which might be why I was a little underwhelmed by the documentary
The ending definitely sent me. Like ohhh so you DID hoax us! But tbh the rest of the family didn’t seem in on it.
I remember when this happened it was interesting to watch and get more info than what we had at the time.
This is one of those docs where it's messy and you can't easily choose who's side are you on. Also the family just seemed weird for me.
All of these series are so good, but this particular one got me like “no way!”
It plays up a false vibe of ambiguity (leaving out a report proving this was a hoax), but still entertaining. Doesn’t overstay its welcome.
A hoax and a stunt
What a ride!
