I'm the type of person that sees something interesting on Netflix, I check what it is about watch the trailer and add it to my list, to then never watch it. On some very rare occasions I watch it immediately, like this one.
I was hooked from the start, unfortunately as I had an early morning the next day I had to watch it in two parts but I was so dragged into this story that I couldn't stop thinking about it.
My partner had it right from the start about how the events were gonna turn out, and I must say I should have seen it coming.
The documentary is filmed in a great way, it all comes together without losing the viewer and confusing us. It's disturbing to realise that this is how some people live and sad how the family of those around all get affected.

Caught my interest from the start!
A twisted, but bizarrely interesting documentary.
A mechanic moves on from a relationship, and starts online dating, he meets a woman, and the pair hit it off, when he decides to move on, she takes to some pretty drastic and shocking revenge tactics.
Wow, this was one incredibly interesting and intriguing documentary, at times it almost felt quite difficult to believe that events here, were actually really life, had it been a thriller on the big screen, you'd say elements were far fetched.
Very well made and nicely edited, it's well paced, it benefits from the 90 minute running time.
You can only imagine what was going through Liz's mind, she must have spent ages trawling The web, and plotting, it makes you shudder to think who's out there, and worse, these people are in dating websites.
Poor Carrie, to have been caught up in this horrendous story.
It definitely shows the dangers of online dating, and interestingly it shows that it's not just the men that are bad out there.
8/10.
Better than average but....
This is actually better than most Netflix crime documentaries.
For one it doesn't have several useless episodes with information that keeps on repeating in order to fill the time. It's a relatively zippy 1h30 and there is very little filler.
I've got three qualms about this that keeps me from giving it a higher rating.
1- If I could figure out within 15 minutes what was going on how come the first cops couldn't? There's no information about the cops' ineptitude in handling the initial case.
2- The prosecutor says this will be a hard case to prove, no slam dunk etc. And then the film makers spend all of two minutes on the actual court case. That's shoddy film making.
3- What was the perpetrators motives? The mindset etc. Nothing was explained or explored and that made for a less than compelling ending.
Netflix almost knocked it out of the park with this one.
