Anyone watched it?
After MJ recommended it, I watched today. Uncomfortable, but very interesting.

I’d like to think I’d have put a stop to it early on, but ya never know.

No spoilers, but it was worth a watch.

It was pretty good but in the beginning they purposely selected people that were easily persuaded.

Kentucky connection. It's so Bullitt County.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip_search_phone_call_scam

The strip search phone call scam is a series of incidents that extended over a period of about ten years before an arrest was made in 2004. The incidents involved a man calling a restaurant or grocery store, claiming to be a police officer and then convincing managers to conduct strip searches of female employees, and to perform other bizarre acts on behalf of "the police". The calls were most often placed to fast-food restaurants in small towns, located in rural areas of the United States.

Over 70 such occurrences were reported in 30 U.S. states, until an incident in 2004 in Mount Washington, Kentucky, finally led to the arrest of David Richard Stewart,[1] an employee of Corrections Corporation of America, a firm contracted by several states to provide corrections officers at private detention facilities.

I tried watching it after hearing M.Jones talk about on the post game show on Saturday. I thought it was ridiculous and stopped about half way through it. Waste of my time..

Not saying that something like that couldn't happen but it seemed fake to me. Especially the last three. I don't think the shows creators would take the chance that one of the participants wouldn't just jump over the edge themselves.
