Don't F**k With Cats offers an intriguing tale, but questionable intent and muddled storytelling make it a hard sell for anyone but true crime completists.

The best thing about [it] is that the makers seem to at least acknowledge this. The worst thing is that they went ahead and made it anyway. Go to Full Review

With its deconstruction of the psyche of an internet killer, Don't F**k with Cats is one of the most compelling true crime docuseries that has been produced by Netflix to date. Go to Full Review

Are authorities prepared to profile due to internet behavior? The internet is a massive giant ball of everything, where the ugly flourishes but sometimes the good and obsessive does too. Insane documentary series. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Emmie T @RT75166715 May 13 This docu-series was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. I would burn it to the ground if I could. I AM GOING TO SPOIL PARTS OF IT, but I don't think anyone should watch the series anyway, so I don't care. The episodes follow the crimes of murderer Luka Magnotta. In the first episode, it shows footage of his first crimes (killing 4 kittens) and then continuously plays the sound from the first video throughout the episode (very disturbing, knowing it's the sound of 2 kittens dying). Then it shows the beginning of the footage of Luka killing Jun Lin (over and over by the way) throughout the next 2 episodes. This was clearly made to shock an audience and not to be informative; it's extremely disrespectful to Jun Lin, his family, and all the animals he killed. They are exploiting a death rather than informing about it, and it was disgusting. I have watched hundreds, if not thousands, of hours worth of documentaries, and I've never been this angry at the creators before. 0/10 See more Mohamed T. @eldriny_10 Aug 4 One of the best documentaries I have ever watched See more Amir S @RT70696713 12/09/2024 A really excellent crime and investigation series based on true events, the only downside is that at first it feels a little dry and uninteresting, but if you can tolerate the beginning, this is a masterpiece series. See more Chris K @RT43173455 10/27/2024 By far the best documentary ive seen in a long time, especially if you love cats. I love Cats, true crime stories and documentaries of all kinds. This was absolutely amazing. To see everyday normal people help each other solve a crime and have the different countries best crime teams have trouble solving it just blew my mind. Its a must see documentary. Highly recommended See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor 03/01/2024 "Don't F**k with Cats" is a gripping rollercoaster of a documentary that will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. This captivating series takes you deep into the fascinating world of online sleuthing as a group of determined individuals embark on a quest to track down a twisted individual who posts videos of himself killing cats. The storytelling is masterfully done, weaving together interviews, real-time investigations, and shocking revelations that will keep you hooked until the very end. The dedication and resourcefulness of the internet sleuths are truly awe-inspiring, and you'll find yourself rooting for them every step of the way. While the subject matter is undeniably dark and disturbing, the documentary manages to strike a balance with moments of humor and humanity, making it a thoroughly engaging watch. "Don't F**k with Cats" is a must-see for true crime enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by the power of online communities coming together to seek justice.

Ca a passé je sais pas combien de moment avec une narration très bancale pour laisser un minium de suspens. Cela est lié avec le deuxième problème. On essaie de nous faire culpabilisé et nous faire croire qu'au final il était manipulé. Ils ont essayé en tout cas pour au final faire croire à un retourenment de situation. Je suis désolé mais en plus de nuire au récit, c'est quelques chose d'horrible. A coté de ça, le documentaire est assez serieux et l'histoire est intéressante. Le fait de laisser s'exprimer "Les nerds d'internet est une bonne idée. Par contre le pauvre policier FR qui a l'air tout stressé. Force :') See more Read all reviews
