Netflix viewers urged to watch harrowing new true crime documentary about a woman’s 10-year psychological torture – Entertainment

Netflix viewers have been urged to watch the latest harrowing true crime documentary as the streamer adds yet another for fans to binge.

However, the latest title is sure to reach the top of their charts as it has an absolutely crazy story.

But while these words may sometimes be thrown around a bit liberally on Netflix, this is an undeniable statement.

It focuses on a woman’s 10-year psychological torture after it was revealed her nearly decade-long relationship was fake.

The catfish genre is a reliable cornerstone of true crime, but it’s not often that it can completely shock you.

However, Kirat Assi’s story might be able to do just that.

Check out the trailer below:

The show with the title Sweet Bobby: My catfish nightmare, follows a popular podcast called simply Sweet Bobby.

It contains interviews with the victim of the catfish in question.

Kirat is a radio presenter from West London and was the victim of a nine-year cheating relationship.

She believed she was with someone she met on Facebook in 2009 called Bobby, who had shared links to the London Sikh community and even knew her second cousin Simran.

However, they never met in person – at every attempt, Bobby responded with an apology, including that he had been “shot six times” in Kenya or that there had been health problems.

However, in 2018, she began to come to terms with her boyfriend, whom she had never met and whose face she had never seen, and realized that he was not real.

Shockingly, “Sweey Bobby” was her cousin Simran.

This led to a years-long quest for justice, with Kirat winning her civil case against her cousin, which was then settled out of court.

She pushed to get her cousin to admit what she had done and eventually agreed on the condition that only a limited number of people could read the account of what she had done.

Kirat said on the acceptance letter podcast: “It was an emotional letter and it was like she would change everything if she could and it was all very effusive and ‘I’m sorry for all the hurt and pain I’ve caused.’ “‘, and everything you would expect from someone.”

Speaking to Metro, Kirat said about this chapter of her life depicted in the documentary: “It never went away. It’s always there. I hope other victims are not treated the same way if they come forward.

“I didn’t want to be silenced. If that happened, no one would know how big the problem is and nothing will ever be done about it.”

The documentary was praised for portraying a sensitive subject.

The Guardian said in its three-star review: “The jaw-dropping facts of an elaborate catfish fishing program will surprise those unfamiliar with the story.”

Meanwhile, last night a fan tweeted: “Sweet Bobby on Netflix tonight guys. Look at it.”

Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare is now streaming on Netflix.
