Episode one of Web of Make Believe focuses on prank swatting and the consequences it can have. An online gamer made a series of prank phone calls to the police to prompt SWAT teams to enter innocent people’s homes. However, one of the prank calls he made turned fatal.
Officer Justin Rapp shot Andrew Thomas Finch moments after he opened the door to a SWAT team. One viewer chimed in saying, “Watching the #WebofMakeBelieve and my heart is so broke for Andrew Finch and his family so disgusting #justinrapp is a murderer and should be put in prison. You fired less than 10 seconds since he opened the door you absolute psychopath.”
The third episode also struck a chord with viewers. It centers around the Charlottesville riots that took place in 2017. Samantha, who is featured in the episode, tells a story of being lured into a relationship with a neonazi on the internet. Eventually, she wound up being part of something she didn’t want to be. Viewers don’t believe she’s changed though. As they watch, people are chiming in with their thoughts.
“If Samantha didn’t want to become a Nazi then why didn’t she walk away from her bf as soon as she found out about the Day of the Rope and the fact that he’s a fascist #WebofMakeBelieve,” one person said on Twitter.
