Discussion Unknown Number High-school Catfish Spoiler

What the hell did I just watch? And what the hell was this person thinking?

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

Totally agree. Netflix documentaries are absolute trash. The way they just swept the pedophilic aspect of this whole case under the rug is deplorable. As soon as I think Netflix can’t stoop any lower, they surprise me with even worse.

I must have watched a different documentary. They spent several minutes on the theory that Kendra was motivated at least in part by a sexual attraction to Owen (which, btw, would make her a hebephile, not a pedophile).

If I were you, I would stop parsing this “difference”. It does not come off well.

Yes, I'm well aware that nuance makes people uncomfortable. It's messy, untidy. Requires actual, honest, unflinching thought - something of which few are capable and which even fewer are willing to engage in.
