Our take
A TV-MA Netflix documentary about the Anaheim Craigslist case involving a deputy marshal, his partner and a vengeful ex. Detailed discussions of stalking, fantasy-rape plots, threatening emails with graphic images and emotional manipulation run throughout. Not suitable for children or sensitive teens.
Story (may spoil tone)
A string of threatening emails escalates into a revenge plot involving a newly married US marshal and his ex-girlfriend.
