Love Fraud - Season 1

"Love Fraud" is a fantastic series built for anyone who has survived the last three years on social media.

This is one of the fastest 200 minutes you'll see all year.

At best it's an odd confluence of true crime, documentary tropes, and visual artistry. The familiarity of this situation that makes Love Fraud watchable if not indispensable.

Love Fraud settles for the basic TV-procedural, true-crime side of the story, leaving the material -- as juicy as it is -- conspicuously shortchanged.

There's a fun kind of justice rolling across the American Midwest in this four-part documentary... Stunning graphics add to the slightly hyperreal feel.

The work of collage artist Martin O'Neill and the animation by Andrew Griffin help to create an atmosphere of surrealistic fantasy around the hard facts of the case.

Love Fraud should be studied by documentary students for its brilliant editing style.

Movie-caliber suspense.

The show's humanity makes us want to solve this crime of the heart for the greater good.

Love Fraud hangs together much better than any of 2020's popular docu-series. There's barely any flab in these four hours as the story takes progressively weirder, more surprising turns.

...a portrait of a sociopath whose villainy is so obvious that spending over three hours studying his scams and assaults feels akin to dissecting a rotten piece of fruit to understand why it isn't juicy.

The series will take you to some emotionally dark places, especially as more and more victims begin to surface. You need a week-to-week break.
