Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The show is fun to watch thus why I'm giving it a 9 out of 10. That said almost all catfishing can be avoided by simply demanding the other person video chat and make them do it in the light with nothing covering their face or neck. If they refuse to do so then chances are they're a catfish. I'd give the show a 10 of 10 if they start reminding people to demand you video chat with the other person to make sure you know who you're talking to on the other end.

Rarely does a new television show come along that pulls you through its episodes like a Michael Crichton thriller. Real life is certainly better than fiction in many cases. I never cease to be fully amazed at the twists of what and who is at the other end of a computer screen. Online people of any gender, race, creed, location and circumstance posing as anyone to an unsuspecting innocent seeking friendship or love and marriage. Nev and Max, the hosts, pick apart stories and hunt for the truth like Columbo searching for the murderer. Seldom does any reality show on TV cause me belly laughs... or heart wrenching emotion... like Catfish... simply to cheer when the happy endings finally come for real, or catfish do or say things that absolutely come at you out of nowhere. SPOILER: Favorite Catfish moment ever... after years of pursuing a man in the south who was a veteran, a slinky blonde finally meets him and spends time dating him during the filming. Everything is a Hollywood ending till the very end of the show... when they post that "What's her name moved south the next week to live with what's his name." Pause a couple seconds... new line... "After two days, she decided to move out and that they were not right for each other. They have decided not to stay in touch." I burst out laughing and laughed till I cried. Unbelievable. You just can't write this stuff.Better than most sitcoms and crime drama shows on the networks.

I feel compelled to write a review about this television show as my work colleague had become engrossed. She then proceeded to burn the whole first series and insist I watch them. Eight hours or so of my life that I will never get back. In retaliation to the punishment, I had to endure, I have written my first review ( to stick it to my colleague ) lol. The premise of the show is good however that's where it stops. We are force-fed these ridiculous episodes featuring people ranging from surreal, desperate to pathetic and without shame. We are supposed to believe that these individuals lack any real foresight or acumen and they come across as rabbits caught in the headlights. The two hosts have a pseudo- homo erotic bromance going on which is further annoying. Speaking of the hosts, each episode they seemed to find it effortless to sort out the fact from fiction with regards to the online persona's and it smacks the question, why did the original people in the relationships not contemplate completing their own investigations? I believe that the whole show is scripted and may go as far saying that the "pawns" are on the payroll, a la Jerry Springer show. The hosts had an opportunity to actually oust these fake profile makers and try change the publics perceptions and attitudes towards online safety. We have advertisements over here claiming that in America, 1 in 3 marriages are from relationships started online, so it is big business. My question is surely the individuals involved must realise quite quickly or at least have a notion that something is amiss ( perhaps this is my Scottish cynicism ). What I do see from this show, and this is only my opinion, is that the hosts are obviously planting the online offenders and/or fabrication and sensationalising the events. When it is all revealed toward the end, the hosts are stand offish and not ruthless in their convictions when faced with things that are blatantly blatantly wrong. Must be making money though.

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
