Kirat clearly had mental issues before this whole saga! No sane person would have kept this going for so long with someone they never even met in person or even seen on video! Her obsession kept this going! That aside - it was a really interesting story and almost unbelievable! I still can't understand the WHY!!! Rated a 6 because you could probably just read the story online - didn't really need to be made into a documentary as there aren't any major pivotal moments...more an ongoing Saga! That said - it was an easy watch and well told...and ok to while away some time on a rainy Saturday morning!

The documentary feels rushed and lacks the emotional nuance needed to truly engage viewers. Instead of a well-crafted narrative, we get a series of talking heads and text messages that do little to elevate the subject matter. The production quality is subpar, with minimal effort put into the storytelling or visual presentation. Overall, it's another hastily produced, low-quality addition to Netflix's ever-growing catalog of true crime documentaries. If you've already listened to the podcast, there's no compelling reason to watch this rehash. Avoid, unless you're doing a drinking game where you down a shot or sip every time something stupid happens.

This documentary was an incredibly bizarre watch. I knew this woman was dumb when her first boyfriend kept running every time the idea of marriage was presented and then she'd let him come back to take her on the same merry go round. She wasted nearly 18 years of her life being strung along by him and then wasted the next decade on an unfathomable online fantasy, and then cry's about how shes now middle aged and childless. Well duh! As the documentary unfolds, it becomes clear that she ignored a staggering amount of red flags. Her naivety, gullibility, desperation and astounding stupidity is what allowed any of it to happen in the first place. Never cared to verify a single thing or person in real life! She was sending voice notes to all these different characters and never got anything back except written messages. She sent countless voice notes and video's to Bobby and never saw him or heard his voice! Even after the fake witness protection was over, she never did a 2 way video call for months, maybe years! Like what?! Towards the end she says she doesnt want any sympathy.... Dont worry, you're definitely not getting any.

So an hour and half and we dont get to know how close this cousin was to her or how their relationship was growing up or how the family reacted and tried to hold her accountable!! Seriously?? Very poor effort and ofc dnt get me started on the desperate not so pretty girl who let a fake profile work her for 9 years and got engaged to it! Like plz!! No phone call no selfies!! She is extremely gullible that even after she went to his house she still didn't get around it 😄 ried to hold her accountable!! Seriously?? Very poor effort and ofc dnt get me started on the desperate not so pretty girl who let a fake profile work her for 9 years and got engaged to it! Like plz!! No phone call no selfies!!

Kirat falls for a man named Bobby, who seems to enjoy a jet set lifestyle, unfortunately the relationship remains an online one for years, and when a meeting is arranged, there's always an excuse. People are calling her out on stupidity, naivety and more, I get that, but I'd say it's worse than that, I'd call her out on need, a desperation to be loved, and on that basis, I'd say what happened to her was cruel. For a documentary it's just too long, it really does lag in the middle, if it was punchier, it would have been so much better. It's definitely an interesting story, though I feel that most people, self included will be wondering just how on Earth it happened, after four years. I struggled to understand the whole point of the catfish, there was nothing financial, it just seemed twisted, what did they hope to gain, it should have resulted in some sort of prosecution. Bizarre isn't the word. 6/10.

I thought this would be a wild tale of catfishing as it was advertised as. Within the first 20 minutes of the movie, I found myself agitated with the 'victim' already and hoping it would move along. It kinda does, eventually, but the run time feels about an hour too long. It could probably have been a 10 minute short, and even then isn't that interesting. The person is so gullible and dare I say unintelligent that it just frustrates you at every moment. Red flags the size of Texas are everywhere, for years, from day one, and this person just doesn't see them. You find yourself yelling at the TV, then even rooting against her by the time of the reveal. Ultimately, it's the story of a strange lady who's terminally online and living in la la land. Boring.

The story begins with Kirat explaining that she has been in a relationship with the same man for 15 years or more. What supposedly intelligent woman dates a man for that long without a marriage proposal even though she wants to be married desperately? After the breakup, she meets a man online named Bobby. He appears to be the perfect man for her. Then she falls for the insane story that he was shot in Kenya and had to enter witness protection in the U. S.. They text and talk via Snapchat for hours each day. Kirat is obsessed with him to the detriment of her own health and job. After a few years, he's released from "witness protection" and will fly back to the UK to finally meet her. After leading her on wild goose chases through London, she finally finds his house and rings the doorbell. This Bobby who answers the door has no idea who she is! Turns out it was her cousin catfishing her the entire time. It was a cruel thing for her cousin to do but an otherwise intelligent, mentally stable woman would not have participated in the fraud for years.

How desperate can a person be? That's what should of been the title of this documentary. This has to be totally fake made up! No one with a brain, thinks their in a relationship with someone they never met, talked to, seen for 9 years! No one says their in witness protection, but tells a stranger where they are staying. This woman has to be born yesterday. I truly believe this documentary is made up solely for ratings and shock value. She actually quit her job for someone she never met or spoke to. Why didn't she question her cousin who was speaking to Bobby all these years? The fact that this man got married and had a child to someone else while they was supposed to be in a relationship baffles me.😞

Dont worry, you're definitely not getting any. I can describe her in two words: Delusional imbecile.

Have lot of sympathy for Kirat but very hard to believe the story. Even if you believe that during the time she was dating Bobby on line she didn't have a video call with him even once because of the excuses he made. But what about his acquaintances that she was in touch with why she never had a video call with them. During the period she never thought of visiting him or his friends and agreed to marry him without even meeting him once physically. The movie should have addressed these queries. Overall the viewer is left with a lot of queries which are not addressed in the movie. If Simran had a job how did she manage to take out the time required to manage so many social Media accounts.
