The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman

Netflix and another great true crime drama that is worth your time, especially if you liked The Tinder Swindler. In two hours we follow a con man, a master manipulator, who pretends to be a British spy and leaves behind destroyed families and robbed people. The villain is a real psychopath who is very intelligent, has everything figured out to the last detail, a walking ghost who uses his skill to the fullest. The documentary is divided into three parts and all the stories of the people in it are worth watching. I really enjoyed the old man who played the Spy in his old age and did a great job. Again, at times the documentary is confusing, it switches between characters and stories quite often and it's challenging to get your bearings, but you get used to it. It's got pace, build-up and well dosed information, and the most shocking thing is again how the justice system is almost powerless against this. This is what Netflix is great at. 7.5/10. (23/02/2022)
