HOLLYWOOD CON QUEEN
Starring: Scott Johnson
Creator: Chris Smith
QUENTIN
Hollywood Con Queen, a three-part documentary, is about two parts too long. After a compelling first episode that takes viewers down the rabbit hole of a wild scam where a con artist impersonated some of the most powerful people in Hollywood for both financial gain and, apparently, shits and giggles, the final two episodes fizzle out entirely. Instead of staying focused on the scam itself, it boringly focuses on the perpetrator’s personality and his uninteresting conversations with a journalist. Once the mystery, suspense, and “whodunnit” aspect went out the window at the end of the first episode, there wasn’t much left to hold my interest.
