Predators Reviews

this is a beautiful think piece, and it has left me conflicted after watching. to really enjoy this doc you have to come in with an open mind, as it describes something i think a lot of people are scared to talk about.

I’m a little confused as to what this doc was trying to accomplish. It seems to be an examination of the director’s own confused feelings between the need for justice and the impulse to empathize. So you have empathy. So you want to punish. What then? What do you do with that?

Absolute Trash. Tries to hide itself in critical analysis of "How to Catch a Predators" intention when it's actually just sympathy for the pedophiles themselves who were about to SA children. horrible when you start to piece together what this film is actually trying to say. 🤮

Content was entertaining. Veeeeery dangerous narrative. Just because the predator caught red handed cries like a baby doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be held accountable. And Chris not recognizing this doesn’t make him a bad guy. Very slippery slope

Was only really interested to hear from Hensen. Wished they dived deeper into the shows cancellation. Kinda disappointed

So much better than the movie

9/19

I think this doc did a good job at achieving its goal. Overall this show does not defend child predators. It rather shows the goal of these shows is not to stop predators but rather make money off them. It also shows the consequences of how these shows will end someone’s life.

super interesting especially the confessional aspect with chris himself

I can never feel any remorse or sadness for predators, but there are real life consequences people have to face and the emotional toll is one of them

Wowe!
We know Chris Hansen was ruining men’s lives (and rightfully so!) but seeing him ruin an 18 year olds life was actually disgusting. And he brushed it off and looped him in with fully grown men who know 100% that what they’re doing is malice.
After seeing this “To Catch a Predator” looks more like breads & circuses than an actual public service. And like the documentary said, it hasn’t stopped or even slowed predators from happening. After 30 years it’s still happening to this day. So sad.

7/10

Don’t agree with the pedophile sympathy, baiting or not these people are trash and anyone fragile enough to stoop that low shouldn’t be on the streets

But i’m glad to finally see some footage on the texas incident, only thing saving this from a pure dislike

This was a frustrating watch. On one hand, these guys deserve horrible things to happen to them in. However, on the other hand, the show was clearly very manipulative and did things that were maybe not the best and clearly don’t actually care about the children they’re saving, but just the ratings. This is especially shown with the case of the 18-year-old. The host does not come off in a good light for the show.

Pedophilic sympathy trash, and you spend an hour talking about Chris Hanson and then only interview him for 5 minutes

Why don’t you take a seat 🪑

Big up Skeeter Jean!

The only person who I actually respect was T Coy. This documentary gives such Lolita vibes ah yes let's just sympathize with child rapists bc they have feelings too!! Idgaf honestly I'd rather see a dead predator than a child being raped and THEIR life ruined.

I was wholly unprepared for some of the questions asked in this doc and I mean that in the best way. Not a glorification but rather and examination of our fascination of evil people. A unique use of the documentary medium, this film will shake you to your core.
