    I’m upset I wasted my time watching this. This movie should have been a short film.

    This lady is unbelievably delusional. It’s hard to even watch how absorbed she became in an internet relationship. She allowed this “person” to control her and she quit her job for him. What a dummy.

    Netflix's 'Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare' is an in depth look and one of the UK's most elaborate catfish cons. SYNOPSIS: 'A woman's online courtship takes an unsettling turn when her romantic interest harbors a dark secret and sinister motives, leading to a harrowing ordeal.' The story is, frankly, so crazy, that I found myself wondering how Kirat, who comes across as an intelligent woman, could be so gullible and foolish to be sucked in like she was. The con is so intricate and complex that hearing Kirat and the other talking heads explain it is totally rivetting. A story for modern times and shows how technology can corrupt absolutely. A great watch. 7/10

    The utter stupidity of this woman is incredible and a laugh riot.A different spin on the catfish story.Kirat has a cousin who played a cruel joke on her.But the fact that she had fell for it for so long makes her unsympathetic.Its a mildly interesting documentary but drags with her Facebook obsession, which after the first two years, anyone not so desperate would figure out is going to end badly.

    Sweet Bobby on Netflix offers an intriguing premise, but its execution falters due to weak character dynamics. The lead characters fail to engage the audience, with one coming across as unlikable and frustratingly naive. The storyline stretches believability, especially with the decision to get engaged before ever meeting Bobby in person. While the show attempts to explore complex emotions and online relationships, it ultimately struggles to make viewers connect or care about its protagonists. Poor.

    Okay, the plot had me sitting there with my mouth open! Didn't expect that. I think it was a very good documentary. I would've loved if they would've emphasised more on the "pressure to be married and meet societal standards". I believe this played a way bigger role than mentioned and which made her very desperate to find the love of her life. Also the gifting part, the baby clothes and that the catfisher never asked for money, just her time, made it way more believable imo. They could've added a mental health professional, in order to understand better what happend in Kirats mind and to understand her on psychological level because she seems like a very intelligent person.

    Victim was far too gullible IMO
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
    Crazy story, but even crazier to think it took 9 years for the victim to figure out what was going on. A bit frustrating to be honest.
  • Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
    Only 82 minutes, but still felt unnecessarily long, and sadly, the victim's gullibility was more shocking than the complexity of the catfish.
