Hollywood Con Queen: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Dan Einav Financial Times Yet just as things start to resemble countless other lurid true-crime sagas, the series evolves into an absorbing, unpredictable character study. Rated: 4/5 May 8, 2024 Full Review Hollywood Con Queen: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Lucy Mangan Guardian The series feels like a very long journey by the team behind Fyre and Tiger King, from whom you would expect better, to a close and familiar place. Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2024 Full Review Hollywood Con Queen: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Hollywood Con Queen is excellent – it is short but detailed, dramatic yet serious in its approach of providing facts and emotions. Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Hollywood Con Queen: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media This docuseries captivates with its intense narrative and global journey from Hollywood to Jakarta, presenting a stark look into the world of high-stakes deception. May 22, 2024 Full Review Hollywood Con Queen: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast While the show is a blast to watch, it’s another instance of a docuseries spinning its wheels, needlessly bloating itself to keep its audience engaged. May 13, 2024 Full Review Hollywood Con Queen: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Rohan Naahar The Indian Express Hollywood Con Queen is about as exciting as a summer blockbuster, but at its core, it’s a tragedy not unlike those that unfold in the shadows of tinseltown.

Bubb R There’s a ton of build up in the first episode and then it slowly goes nowhere interesting. Entire story could easily have been told in 30-45 mins. At the end, you’ll feel you’re the one being scammed. It’s a boring story about a guy with mental issues who scams people. The end. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review DL W It was interesting. Really got in depth about the con man’s background. It was hard to watch at times because Harvey has no self awareness and always plays the victim. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Eric N I've watched three con documentaries on Apple TV+ (this one, plus "The Big Conn" and "Escape of Carlos Ghosn") and this is definitely the best of the three. The three-episode length is just about perfect. It's filled with enough intrigue, tension and surprises to keep you engaged, although some of the b-roll of the detective and reporter does get a bit repetitive. Still, by the end, it's enough to give you both sides of the story and allow you to make your own decision about the motivations of the con man. He is certainly an interesting character, definitely a narcissist and probably a psychopath, but someone who never actually ruins the lives of any of the victims. In fact, a lot of the people who get taken are lucky they weren't targeted by someone a lot more evil who could have bankrupted them and destroyed their lives (at least none of the ones who were featured in the documentary were financially ruined). In any case, this was an interesting series. If you watch and enjoy it, the other two mentioned above might also be of interest to you. And, if you want to get a little more out-there and watch a docudrama that's better than all three of these, watch WeCrashed, which is a fascinating study of a con man (and his wife) who are still out there committing the same nefarious deeds. It's a great watch. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Heard J Started watching the first episode but couldn’t continue. Storyline was very interesting. Wish I could have continued, but it had a God-Awful loud electronic music track that overpowered the dialogue so much that I couldn’t hear what was being said without getting a headache. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Benny C I really enjoyed this documentary. I wasn’t familiar with the story prior to watching this, it was very well done and informative. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Steve M A little long telling the story.. but you get hooked by every horrible detail about this psychopath. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
