I was watching the Kristian Harloff show over a week ago and Roxy Striar, one of my favorite pundits on the show, was giving her TV picks. She mentioned the documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. It was on Netflix and she spoke about how amazing the story of the doc was. I put it on my queue, but was having trouble finding the time to watch it.

I found the time today, and it was shocking and troubling. One of the more compelling docs I have seen in a long time.

According to IMDB, “A teen girl and her boyfriend face persistent harassment from an unknown caller. Police investigating the months of torment discover a revelation that upends their initial assumptions.”

I am not going to spoil the story of this, but I just want to say that it was unbelievable, watching the young girl receive these horrific text messages from an unknown stalker that helped ruin her life, as well as the life of her boyfriend and some of her classmates.

This doc does a fantastic job of setting up the story and follow the investigation of what happened. I was impressed with the doc because this one actually had a lot of resolution to the story, which some of these docs do not have.

This was about 90 minutes and it is an extremely engaging story. I am glad that I finally got around to it.
