Rarely does a new television show come along that pulls you through its episodes like a Michael Crichton thriller. Real life is certainly better than fiction in many cases. I never cease to be fully amazed at the twists of what and who is at the other end of a computer screen. Online people of any gender, race, creed, location and circumstance posing as anyone to an unsuspecting innocent seeking friendship or love and marriage. Nev and Max, the hosts, pick apart stories and hunt for the truth like Columbo searching for the murderer.
Seldom does any reality show on TV cause me belly laughs... or heart wrenching emotion... like Catfish... simply to cheer when the happy endings finally come for real, or catfish do or say things that absolutely come at you out of nowhere.
SPOILER: Favorite Catfish moment ever... after years of pursuing a man in the south who was a veteran, a slinky blonde finally meets him and spends time dating him during the filming. Everything is a Hollywood ending till the very end of the show... when they post that "What's her name moved south the next week to live with what's his name." Pause a couple seconds... new line... "After two days, she decided to move out and that they were not right for each other. They have decided not to stay in touch." I burst out laughing and laughed till I cried. Unbelievable. You just can't write this stuff.
Better than most sitcoms and crime drama shows on the networks.
