Netflix's The Most Hated Man on the Internet Is the Next Tinder Swindler

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticAs a newcomer to Neil Gaiman’s seminal comic book series “The Sandman” (cue diehard fans immediately clicking out of this review, and fair enough!), I came to Netflix’s adaptation with an open mind and curious eye. Knowing this 1989 title had spawned onscreen spinoffs of “Sandman” characters — “Lucifer,” “Constantine,” etcetera — but never one of its own, it was hard not to wonder what about it might have made a live-action version so hard that it never happened until now.

Titled after a 2012 Rolling Stone article that profiled the notorious internet troll Hunter Moore, Netflix’s three-part miniseries “The Most Hated Man on the Internet” is, surprisingly, not a hyperbolic statement. Recounting the rise and fall of Moore’s infamous IsAnyoneUp.com — a user-submitted revenge porn website that linked to social media accounts, doxxing people in the process — the closest corollary is, perhaps, Netflix’s own 2019 doc series “Don’t F**k with Cats.” Like that series (shares producers here), ‘Most Hated Man’ narrows in on how online culture spills out into the real world, often with malicious intent.

The Gray Man sequel has officially been announced, just a few days after the film debuted on Netflix!

Are some films just too big to fail? That could be the case with Netflix’s “The Gray Man.” While the Russo Brothers’ film has an unfavorable 48% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the action thriller is currently #1 on Netflix, and clearly, the streaming service and the Russo’s AGBO films empire are more than happy with how the film performed with audiences. Because today, the company announced much more ‘Gray Man’ is on the way.

Even before Netflix releases opening weekend audience numbers later today that will likely point to record audience engagement in 92 countries, the streamer has put in motion a sequel to The Gray Man, with Gosling returning to the title role and Joe & Anthony Russo again directing. They’ll produce with AGBO’s Mike Larocca and Roth Kirschenbaum Films’ Joe Roth and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum.
