Naïve, lazy journalism.
The problem with this series is that the investigative “journalism”lacks diligence, effort, or substance. Though the host says she’s interested in the plight of victims whose lives have been ruined, she does nothing to verify the statements by the con artists she interviews, or even track down the victims. Take the episode about the painter who painted fake paintings – – she gives his view of how the victims got what they deserved but makes no effort to contact even one of them. This is a small point, but in the “card shark” episode, the correct term is card sharp. this feels like a bad high school project, that would get a B- for an absence of effort. while I am fascinated by the topics selected, I will unsubscribe shortly.
