Fraud Squad (2019– ) User Reviews

Investigative TV for the feeble minded

[jfryleach · 3/10 · 4 February 2020]

How to take serious subjects like fraud, deception and corruption and turn it into infantile tabloid fodder. It's sad that professional investigators are manipulated by programme makers to appear like excited school children. Marry the presentation with narration that wouldn't be out of place on CBBC, tainted with inflection straight out of an cheap Aussie soap and this is what's considered as investigative journalism in 2020.

Wasted opportunity

Fascinating subject, poor execution. Substantive accounts & explanations spread far too thin, interspersed with lots of repetitive, breathless narrative about why Fraud Is Bad & intrusive, dramatic music.
