Nonfiction Overload: Nickelodeon Trauma Docs and Overstuffed True Life Content

Season 2 Episode 10 Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description

Every week there's a new docuseries where the victims of horrific violence or exploitation have to get in front of the camera and tell us the bad things that happened to them. And within a few days, we've forgotten again. Nico and Jessa look at the overproduction of nonfiction content, from the multiple "investigations" into Twin Flames to the multiplicity of deep dives on Nickelodeon damaged child stars, the constantly refreshing stream of information, and the way clickbait media feeds off the streaming ecosystem.
