Please give me your time while reading this and let me explain in detail why this docuseries is morally wrong in all respect.
The first 50% of this docuseries is about a Facebook group created with the intention to catch Luka Magnotta who is the person behind the cat killing video (Spoiler).
The biggest problem with this first half is that, the whole entire time they do petty P. I. work and internet sleuth work to try to find out where this cat-killer is. They essentially get nowhere with any solid evidence and only find little bread crumbs here and there. After much failure, they incorrectly target a guy in Africa as the "cat-killer". This person apparently had depression problems and they hinted that people in their Facebook group gave him a pummeling when he was falsely accused, most likely with the presumption that death threats were made that ended up in this man ending his own life. In the film, they use this as a time-waster and brush his death under the run and their contribution to his death through bad investigation on this poorly managed Facebook group.
This is the first big problem with the docuseries and with the continuation of the story, they tell the audience that they hit a dead end and cannot find the man until they hit a big break. What is this big break? (A sock account that someone anonymous person created that tells them to look up the person Luka Magnotta. )
They do not tell you this in the documentary, but the person with that sock account was Luka Magnotta himself toying with them and giving them breadcrumbs because they made it very clear through the whole docuseries that he got a rush out of almost being caught and eluding them. They praise themselves for finding this Luka Magnotta guy while also talking about how sick he was for continuously posting new cat-killing videos to incite their anger. They did an extremely piss poor job being self-aware enough to know that all these cat-killing videos and sock accounts are purely because of the infamousness attached to this Facebook group made to catch the cat-killer.
They did not fully come clean the whole time through this docuseries acknowledging that they are actually the engine of this wild goose chase and are causing a hamster wheel of more cat-killing videos to come. The lack of self-awareness was piss poor.
The only reason Luka Magnotta was caught had nothing to do with the Facebook group, they only incited this man to want to up the ante and raise the bar to incite anger, so he ends up killing a human. Not only did he end up killing a human. But he did it extremely sloppy and he sent dismembered parts of the body to the Canadian federal political party offices, which put him as public enemy #1 which resulted in him getting caught shortly there after. Remember with absolutely no help to the Facebook group, besides to incite him to do something more heinous.
This is where the nail in the coffin arrives. For the Facebook group, their intentions were good, but their awareness was narrow. They could have come clean and apologized for their mishandling of the situation. They instead, did a poor job and gave crocodile tears, not taking the responsibility for a man cyber-bullied into suicide and inciting Luke Magnotta to kill more animals and a human.
But the idea that in the end of the docuseries they lay down a killing hypocrite blow saying that all people who watch this docuseries are essentially complicit in Luka Magnotta's crimes because we watched a docuseries on him. Even though they led to a person's suicide, incited Luka Magnotta's crimes with a Facebook group they created, and even made a docuseries, just to tell us that we are the ones that should think about what we are doing with out life. It really does like like the ratio of complicities compared to the viewer and to them is extremely disproportionate. We spent time watching a docuseries on Netflix (or whatever) and the contributed to death of innocent people and make money on it to throw the moral card back at us. Does no one else, feel this is asinine? I do. 3 out of 10. The most offensive docuseries ever created (Read and understand this) .
