Lou Pearlman, the man behind the hit boy bands the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. Once hailed as a visionary, he was quickly in the spotlight as a crook. Watch the tale of how a blimp company executive created and then exploited and defrauded not just two of the most beloved groups of the 2000s but many more people chasing their dreams. It’s not the first time this story has been told but it has members of the various groups, colleagues, and friends of Pearlman to add color and contrast to the narrative. It deep dives into the aftermath of the lawsuits and how Pearlman never stopped scheming. Overall this was well done, a nostalgic cautionary tale for pop music lovers.
Rating: 4/5
