Each week, a person contacts Nev and Max because they believe that either themselves or someone they love is being deceived by someone they’ve met online. After seven seasons of sameness, the series still trends on Twitter every Wednesday night and reaches a devoted base of viewers because its formula is foolproof. Just sayin,” and it’s clear that Catfish has far more problems than MTV intended it to when they turned their eponymous documentary into a docuseries in 2012.ĭespite these glaring issues, Catfish is wildly entertaining. Combine that with Nev tweeting that “ #BlackGirlsRock… they also tend to #catfish a lot. There’s also the fact that so many of those who are pretending to be other people online have internalized hurt, particularly around fatphobia and colorism, and the show doesn’t provide an outlet for them to get the help that they need. For starters, the show requires cohosts Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, as well as the episode’s subject, to confront the dishonest “catfish” with often catastrophic and traumatic results. There’s a lot wrong with Catfish, MTV’s long-running reality show about deceitful people in online relationships.
