UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
O2D I used to enjoy this show, even with the 10 minute commercial breaks. It was fun to see how stupid people can be. But about 2 years ago the show became 100% fake. I don't even care that they started have some "celebrity" guests that no one has ever heard of or the fact that it's always impossible to tell the sex of the guest. Or that the names are always something like Mecca and Tanner or Shakokwa and Shanaynay. I don't even care that they stole the name of the show from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. This show has done the classic MTV move of proving that you are stupid and will watch anything.
agro_sydney I had seen the original Catfish movie several years ago which I found mildly entertaining but for some reason I love this show. Nev and Max travel all over mainland USA tracking down and uniting internet friends,lovers and scammers. It is hard to believe there are so many naive and gullible people out there. Some episodes appear to be advertisements for MTV artists, budding rappers and sometimes even the occasional beautiful person to get on TV or have their 15 minutes of fame. Some of the episodes build tension as we wait to find out if the Catfish is "fair dinkum" (which means real in Australian slang).I have since learned that the producers are in touch with the Catfish who agrees beforehand to appear on the show. Also casting calls are sent out to recruit Catfish and victims. Apparently Nev and Max are not told the identity of the Catfish and genuinely track them down.Some scenes are obviously scripted and edited. Being Australian I like how we see lots of different places in America and different lifestyles, from red necks to the rich.
stuartfeltcher This use to be an entertaining show but they jumped into the gay cat-fishing thing most of the public could care less about. Where's the excitement in seeing the person of the opposite sex (usually) being something looking really nasty at the end? Here we get some guy, as in one recent episode saying the guy he met on Tinder asking for the cat-fished guy's balls to meet the online person's spaghetti....which sounds like code for one of them shoving their manhood where the other guy defecates from. That's gross and no one wants to watch a show about it. They had a good thing going but the gay stuff is really reaching deep into the barrel and would only appeal to watchers that are hardcore PC worshipers. Real people are better to pass on it now.
graven420 i could not agree more with the other review i will leave it at that anything by Ariel Schulman is not worth watching and his brother sucks just as much i would honestly watch a blank screen over anything created by those two i hate directors that lie if they would be straight up then i wouldn't mind but they lie about everything the movie they made = fake this show = fake paranormal activity boring and a bunch of senseless angles i suggest if you don't feel like wasting your life then don't watch this. and this is something that gos out to the people stupid enough to believe fake profiles online its called a freaking webcam im sory but if someone your talking to says they don't have one or don't know how to use it then obviously they are full of crap and if they do provide you with a webcam then its as simple as getting them to write your name on paper to know that it is real if you fall for fakes your an idiot
