Telemarketers (2023)
3/10
Great First Episode, All Downhill From There
7 September 2023
The first episode of Telemarketers presented an eye-opening look into the shady world of telemarket fundraising. We saw actual footage from inside CDG, the worst of the worst, the original and groundbreaking fundraising scheme. Pranks, on-site drug use, the active recruitment of felons from halfway houses - it was jaw dropping.

But then the second and third episodes arrived. Each episode more painful than it's predecessor, we follow amateur and untalented sleuths, as they haplessly interview a couple of quasi-governmental professionals about the shady nature of fund raising being contracted out to shady telemarketing companies, then a handful of identity-shielded telemarketing workers and managers who say basically the same thing over and over: telemarketing is bad.

The duo puts the sloppiest and worst spoken member in front of the camera, and every time he speaks the viewer cringes. They vow to blow the lid off this thing, and to take down the bad guys, but all they accomplish is everything I've described and nothing more. Cringe. They accomplished cringe.

Watch one episode, take it for what it's worth.
