Don't F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer is a 2019 true crime documentary series about an online manhunt. It is directed by Mark Lewis and was released on Netflix on December 18, 2019. The series chronicles events following a crowd-sourced amateur investigation into a series of cruelty acts committed by Canadian Luka Magnotta. It was one of Netflix's Top 5 most-watched documentaries of 2019.

WARNING: Contrary to belief the title of this documentary is somewhat deceiving. This documentary is not for the faint of heart. It is disturbing in unimaginable ways. But because of the way the story is told, you will not be able to stop watching!

This IS a real documentary, DON’T let the first 30-40 minutes deter you from watching all 3 episodes. Stick with it - you will be engrossed by what you see and NOT disappointed. The series includes actually archival news footage regarding elements of this case from news networks, various Canadian and European newscasts, as well as a brief interview with Justin Trudeau, who speaks directly about elements of the case.

One thing I would like to say…….the less you know about this story the better your experience watching this series will be. I’ll be honest with you…..I can truly say I lived through this time period for the major events in this case (2010-2014) without ever hearing about this story. So this was all new and very very interesting to watch.

What you are about to watch in this documentary is one of the most wild, insane, gruesome, and shocking series of events you’ll see in a true crime documentary. Netflix did a brilliant job telling the story, right down to the music to set the scenes.

Bits and pieces of info are given to you at precise moments that will lead you to believe you know what's happening, only for another piece of info to be revealed that will absolutely blow your mind and leave you questioning what you think you know. There is so much suspense and it never stops building. From the beginning to the end, I was absolutely gripped. It never failed to hold my attention.
