I love morally complex stories. Noble work isn’t just noble work anymore in this society. There’s always an underlying selfish reason for it, but does it matter if they’re doing something great for some selfish reason that doesn’t really matter in the overall scheme of things? I was scared from the reviews that they’ve portrayed Hansen as an anti-hero, but they haven’t. Yes, he wants his show to be a success and he wants more ratings, but his character is also given a lot of dialogues where he says he’s not doing this just for ratings or money. I absolutely loved how much focus was given to the actor who was faking to be an underage kid. To be put into such an uncomfortable situation where you’re not just acting because here the consequences are real is so deep and intense and they wrote it so well. Frames were fucking insane. Loved the choice with the hard lighting in the background to give it almost a surreal look. It constantly felt like it was recorded on some digital cam recorder. Great story executed exceptionally. Also, I don’t care what kind of a man Hansen is in real life and out of what reasons he does what he does, but even after his show got cancelled on NBC he continued hunting down predators. I’m pretty sure to this day he has some show, I don’t know where it airs, but he does have a show where he hunts these pedophiles down. Man is doing God’s work. I respect him so much.
