Não Atenda o Telefone!

When I first started watching this documentary, I started laughing so hard at the unbelievable gullible manager and victim that was going along with what was being suggested on the phone - and was also laughing at the narrator's description of what was happening. At first it seemed like it was one incident in a small southern town and I was thinking I can't believe there are towns out there where people could be so innocent and believe such a thing. Being from Chgo suburbs I thought this would never happen where I live - no one could fall for such a thing. Then they got into how many incidents all over the United States this happened, and started announcing the towns and I couldn't believe that it happened also in Oak Brook, IL - my stomping grounds - and the actual headquarters at the time of the fast food company. By the time the doc was all over I still can't believe quite honestly that people fall for this, but it wasn't so funny anymore. I am sure that there are many other victims out there that are just so embarrassed that they got taken they never reported it and suffered all alone, so if it helps others to see this, there is value in airing it and also for a warning to not be afraid to speak up; know your rights at work.

Seen the movie Compliance which got made in 2012,covers enough that Netflix honestly didn't need to cash in on this topic.

It's unfortunate such things can happen & worse managers,that would blindly go along without question.

If my child had this happen.. I would be blaming the company & management,for a variety of violations.

Why did no manager call the police on another line or say until someone arrives,nothing is being conducted.. What logic is anything especially sexual standard protocal,shows how people can so dumb over law & order.

Sad that any person dealt with this & frankly.. I don't feel sympathy for any manager or those they involved,towards the actual victims as those people could of stopped it also!

It did make me wonder if these people in charge could be so quick to act careless,imagine what else they might of been doing over life choices for themselves or others prior? Scary!

Anyway.. Another typical unnecessary,Netflix documentary,.

The documentary was difficult to watch because of the content, but many of the reviews here are scoring it low because of the content the documentary presented rather than the way they presented it. If you aren't fascinated by the events, don't watch, but scoring a documentary low because you can't believe how stupid people can be is pretty stupid, as well. The documentary was well made. It could be slow at times, but overall, it did a great job presenting the information from the cases and balancing that info with true victims' statements. It's hard to believe that people could be so gullible and how compliant people can be when an authority figure is doing the instructing.

I'll try my best avoiding the spoilers but I have to say that this story is indeed telling. I understand that law enforcement in United States is (and has to be) taken very seriously but still, one may not blindly follow everything a guy, acting as a police officer, say over the phone. Especially, when what he says is absurd beyond doubt, and obviously criminal. Managers who complied were either intelectually challenged, thought they need to protect the company and their jobs even if it took to treat an employee inhumanely - or - they simply wanted to believe, or pretended to believe they have a credible get-out-of-jail explanation to commit sexual assault which they have dearly enjoyed. And the most intriguing question of all - why make a three episode document with such outcome, when it was perfectly clear, that most questions cannot be answered?

I fast forwarded through many parts and still got the whole story. In an effort to maximize the shock effect on viewers, the same things are said over and over again and it all just really drags out. It becomes annoying very fast.

It could have fittet well as an one episode program; max two episodes, but I guess that doesn't sell as well?

It is of course still an interesting story and crazy how some people blindly follow instructions.

I should almost say "don't pick up these series" but it's still interedting to see, I would have just liked it a lot better if they weren't cooking so much soup on it. One or two episodes would have been plenty.
