“By far one of the most complex and crazy catfish stories I’ve ever heard. It’s devastating when you realise who is behind the deception. The way the police treat the victim is awful and I hope she will eventually find some sense of closure or justice. Coercive control is at the heart of this...”Read full review »

“I really liked this show. But the whole time I was yelling at the main character at how can anyone not suspect something after so much. I wanted so bad to
Understand. Perhaps if one super lonely and desperately seeking love then maybe. As for punishment for the Catfish…I have no idea what I feel...”Read full review »

“Nothing ruins a podcasts faster than slimy mouth-smacking/swallowing noises. Ugh! It instantly takes the listener out of the story and grosses them out.
Figure. Out. Your. Audio.
I listen to various podcasts daily and this is rarely an issue if you know what you’re doing. People cry and are...”Read full review »

“What a lousy podcast and story. You can spot the con a mile away. This story doesn’t warrant a 6 episode series, nevermind a Netflix show. I can’t believe how people fall for this kind of manipulations talking and falling in love with people you never see. You actually start cheering for the...”Read full review »

“It’s ridiculous to pretend Kirat is not delusional and gullible … you did waste 10 years of your life on a ridiculous wild goose chase. I too didn’t exactly see a crime and wasn’t surprised the police didn’t do anything.”

“I feel victimized by this podcast. I’m fairly certain I was coercively-controlled into thinking this was a legit story about catfishing, … and made it through ALL the episodes … only to find out it was all an elaborate, “sophisticated” lie. Which police department do I call?”

“Simran’s motive is obvious and it’s disappointing that the host/producers don’t give this sufficient airtime. Simran wanted love and affection, and she got it in the many many phone calls throughout the years. You say Kirat and Simran are in a socially conservative and patriarchal community. Of...”Read full review »

“Alexi is a brilliant journalist who is now refreshingly not gratuitous or salacious. That poor girl, new laws need to be made to protect the community from Simran types. No wonder the banks are psychopathic.”

“I’m not so sure the story/content itself is podcast-worthy. Kind of reminds me of just another episode of the Catfish series. What kept me listening to each episode was that it was told well and left you expecting some huge reveal at the end, then the end was like like meh 😐”

“The production and narrator are great, but the story itself is ridiculous. I could understand a few months or a year of this - but over 10 years of your life not meeting your boyfriend? The ridiculous stories and emergencies? You didn’t recognize that the voices didn’t add up? Come on. It is very...”Read full review »

“If you tell a story as though you were in love with a fictitious character for a decade but never had a video call or sexual photo then you are delusional.

“This was a slightly disappointing listen. While the host did great with what he had, i think the story just didn’t need to be drawn out for 6 episodes. The story, yes, is crazy. But more so crazy on a personal level for the victim rather than for the public to listen or relate to. But the dad,...”Read full review »

But the catfish didn’t directly ruin any of these things, at least from what the podcast shares. Rather, Kirat was deluded and became stressed out by this online catfish relationship that...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed the story, the narrator, and the general layout.

“I understand that catfishing is wrong, but I can’t listen to Kimran blaming EVERYTHING on her cousin. Not having children, not taking job opportunities, not having friends, etc., etc., You were in your 30’s and believed you were in a relationship for 8 years without having ever met the person. ...”Read full review »

“I think the most painful part of this story is Kirat's own role in allowing this ordeal to continue to torment her long after it was done and stifle her ability to heal. I really hope she's been able to move on and put this behind her for her own sake. Stop focusing on what you need...”Read full review »

“It’s a compelling story, BUT … In the beginning they talk about what a tight knit community the Sikh population is and how everyone knows one another.
