Look, this is one of those Netflix true crime docs that sounds intriguing in the synopsis but delivers a pretty mediocre experience based on those ratings. A 2.9 on Letterboxd is rough—that's 'I watched it but wished I hadn't' territory.

The premise is genuinely wild: a chef's supposed mother turns out to be a globetrotting con artist. That should be fascinating! But execution matters, and the audience scores suggest this one doesn't quite land. It's the documentary equivalent of a meal that looks great on Instagram but tastes meh.

For families with older teens (16+) who are into true crime, this could work as a conversation starter about deception, trust, and verification in the digital age. But honestly? There are better true crime docs out there that are both more enriching AND more entertaining. This one feels like filler content in Netflix's endless crime doc catalog.

Not harmful, just not particularly worth your time unless you've exhausted better options.
