Appropriately placed on a channel dedicated to speculative fiction, this show conflates internet disagreements with serious personal threats. Whether it's a precursor to an upcoming adaptation of Orwell's 1984, or just the next Sharknado, this show is laughable in its asymmetric philosophies and overinflated drama. There's more reality in a show set on the Jersey Shore or starring the Kardashians than there is in this one. The only redeeming lessons are these: 1. If you post something controversial on the internet, people will disagree with you. 2. There are jerks on the internet. 3. Don't feed the trolls, it only makes them stronger. I find the premise of this show to be laughable, as the internet did not ruin anybody's life, but rather, they ruined their own lives by being idiots on the internet.
