Web of Make Believe: Death, Lies and the Internet (Season 1)

Web of Make Believe: Death, Lies and the Internet (2022) is a US documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Each episode follows a different case where something that started online — a fake persona, a forum conspiracy, a digital extortion scheme — spiraled into real violence or death.

Some episodes trace how a harassment campaign built slowly until someone ended up dead. Others dissect swatting, radicalization, or large-scale financial fraud. The throughline is the gap between what people think they're doing on a screen and what actually lands on the other side. Dark, specific, and more analytically rigorous than most true crime.
