A harassed journalist’s nightmarish odyssey grows increasingly scary and strange in Whatever It Takes, a compelling true-crime documentary in which the audience is advised to know as little as possible before going in.

The most “Holy Shit” doc I’ve seen in years, the kind of thing that builds buzz on a streaming service simply because of the insane story that it unpacks that everyone needs to share.

Whatever It Takes is a must-see for true-crime aficionados, as well as those with a nostalgia for the dotcom past. It is both small-scale drama and corporate scandal. Like eBay itself, there’s a little something for everyone.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Whatever It Takes is a bonkers, gripping true-crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Drenched in eeriness and unease from start to finish, Carchman’s documentary will inevitably have true crime enthusiasts in their element.

Rated: 5/5

The Gate

Director Jenny Carchman (The Fourth Estate, Gossip) takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through a dark corner of the internet to a destination most won’t see coming, unless they’re familiar with the case at hand.

Rated: 7/10

The important takeaway is that we’re allowing mega-corporations to get so large that even David couldn’t slay this Goliath.

Rated: 8.5/10
