14. Catfish
With all the reruns of this series that MTV ran in the 2010’s, and still does today, you’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of ‘Catfish’. Hosts Neve and Max help people who believe they are romantically linked to someone online who isn’t who they say they are to uncover the truth, sometimes with disastrous consequences and heartbreak. In reality, the catfisher is often the one who talks to producers, signs release forms and agrees to be edited in a way that helps the story come together better. If at any stage they seem surprised for being caught out, you best believe the person is showcasing their acting chops. The sad part of this is that the person who finds out they are being catfished is ultimately catfished by the series itself, perhaps leading to even more heartbreak in the process.
