Catfish: The TV Show

2012–2024 · 9 seasons

A voyeuristic, gently suspenseful ride through strangers' online heartbreaks, equal parts cringe, empathy and awkward confrontation.

Tagline: It's the season you've been baiting for.
Overview: Nev and his co-hosts -- from Max to Kamie to celebrity guests -- help people in dubious online relationships track down their baes IRL so they can sort out what's fact and what's fiction.
How it feels: Tense, earnest, melancholic and light. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Deception, identity, loneliness, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
