CATFISH

The couples who are formed in internet now are a reality. Thousands of people meet on the network and maintain relationships at a distance, some have seen in person, other not and some are a complete hoax. It's difficult to know who are you talking or if the person is lying you.

Many people go to forums or chat rooms to meet friends or for dating. In the second case sometimes those people meet and get to have a stable relationship and in some cases may even be talking ten years without knowing. For this reason some people mistrust and begin to wonder if the person behind the screen are being sincere or not.

I've seen the program on TV and I have seen the documentary. 

In my opinion both are really interesting and worth seeing, also have things that may surprise you. 

If you see the film you understand why the protagonist wants to start doing the TV program and help others that don't happen the same thing, so it's interesting. The film is a true story engraved by his own friends on many occasions. 

I like more the TV program, it's amazing and I recommend it a lot.
