web-sleuths ridicule case and selves
22 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
There are 2 problems with the series: 1. This case does not have enough material to cover 4 hourly episodes 2. The focus is wrong - the death of Elisa Lam, though bizarre, should not be the subject of the show as much as the danger these insane self-appointed investigators pose. Though there is a cautionary tale told by the end, the series allows them to say something in the lines of 'yes, maybe we got carried away a bit'. No - that's not an accurate description of the behaviour of a mob that watches a video a billion times to discern if a 2-pixel blur is a shoe, but has no problems accusing and threatening an innocent person without checking if he was even in the same country as the victim, just because they are afraid of metal. The real victim here is Morbid, and had this been focused on him, it might have been better.
