Perfect Tinder Swindler Replacement Arrives on Netflix Next Week
The upcoming series is set to dominate the platform’s documentary scene.
Summary:
- Netflix will soon release the new docuseries, following the aftermath of the data breach of the notorious dating site, aimed for seeking adultery.
- By collecting evidence of its victims, it explores the universal issue of infidelity and its impact on the families.
Back in 2022, the world was shocked by the story of Simon Leviev, a con artist who manipulated the women he met through the dating application Tinder into financially supporting him while pretending to be in danger. Titled Tinder Swindler, this true crime movie became the most-watched documentary on Netflix at the time.
People's interest in true-crime stories, interwined with the personal dramas of the victims, doesn’t need to be rekindled. Thus, Netflix is preparing us for another docuseries, exploring the topics of the dating sites, love and, of course, lies.
It will center on the creators and users of quite a rare dating service, The Ashley Madison Agency, that has a bold slogan: "Life is short. Have an affair." You may guess it was launched specifically for married people curious about the possibility of adultery.
A Flashback Into Tinder Swindler Obsession
It was so successful a few years after it started working, that by 2015 it earned the whole base of 37 million users and was available not only in North America, but in more than 40 countries all around the world. However, every fairy tale should have an end.
In the same year of 2015, Ashley Madison gained extreme notoriety, when it was hacked by a group known as The Impact Team, who released the personal information of the users for the public eye for free. It’s this data breach, changing the lives of millions of families, that is explored in Netflix’s upcoming documentary series.
A New Hit Already Set to Take Tinder Swindler’s Place
The new docuseries will present the evidence of former employees and clients, who fell victim to the hackers’ attack and had their careers and families ruined in one second. It is also going to look into infidelity, making money on it and, overall, people’s desire to lie.
Initially starting as a playful and humorous tale about the lying husbands and wives, the three-episode documentary, titled Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal turns out to be a genuinely shocking drama that takes such a life-changing tragic turn.
It’s definitely a must-watch for all fans of such intricate documentary titles, as not only Tinder Swindler, but also The Puppet Master: Hunting The Ultimate Conman and Catfish: The TV Show.
Don’t miss Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal, which is scheduled to be aired on Netflix already on May 15.
