I've seen all 230 episodes of the Catfish TV show. While I think many of those are staged to varying degrees, I do think the documentary is real, at least from the perspectives of all the subjects. I just wish Max was in it too.

Overview
Nev, a 24-year-old New York-based photographer, has no idea what he's in for when Abby, an eight-year-old girl from rural Michigan, contacts him on Facebook, seeking permission to paint one of his photographs. When he receives her remarkable painting, Nev begins a friendship and correspondence with Abby's family. But things really get interesting when he develops a cyber-romance with Abby's attractive older sister, Megan, a musician and model. Prompted by some startling revelations about Megan, Nev and his buddies embark on a road trip in search of the truth.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply disorienting journey into the gap between online personas and reality, where a promising romance unravels into something far more complicated and human. The film captures the quiet sting of discovering that connection, however real it felt, was built on a fabrication.
