Netflix Doc Bobcat Snags Top 10 Spot: Can’t Miss or Skip?

A new Netflix documentary has suddenly skyrocketed to the top 10 — and it's stirring up some opinions. Titled "Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, " this true crime doc is based on a podcast that delves into a long-running catfishing scam. The story follows Kirat Assi, who thought she was in an online relationship with a successful cardiologist named Bobby. The twist? Bobby was much closer to home than she imagined.

The documentary explores Kirat's journey, revealing how this intricate and emotionally abusive scheme unfolded over nearly a decade. It also highlights the emotional and mental health fallout it had on Kirat's life. Some critics hail the documentary for its gripping portrayal of deception, while others argue it's just a longer version of the podcast and doesn't add much new. Is it worth a watch? True crime fans might find it engaging, though some say the podcast tells the story better. The doc doesn't break new ground in format but brings the story to life if you prefer watching to listening.
