Over the last couple of years I have been subjected to this programme on the freeview channel "Really", and finally feel compelled to comment. First, the presenter. Joey Greco moralises non-stop throughout the show, using such words as "depraved" to describe the behaviour of the person allegedly caught cheating on their partner. He is advocating himself as the guardian of the world's morals, completely missing the irony of the immoral (and at times, illegal) behaviour of himself and his "gumshoes", following people, secretly filming and recording phone conversations. Of course, since the "stories" featured in the show are as fake as Greco I don't suppose this really matters. I don't understand how anybody can possibly believe anything on this show is real. Typically, a couple "engaged in nefarious deeds" meet up, go for a meal (usually sitting either outdoors or in front of a window so they can be easily filmed) then go back to the cheaters house for sex (so they can be recorded by the hidden cameras). They make no attempt to keep things secret and are never watching to see if they are being followed! The whole show is just low-budget garbage that only deluded people can believe is "reality", so in a way it's just like any other reality show.

I tuned into this show last night thinking it would be one of those "so bad it's good" guilty pleasures we all love to watch. It is nothing of the kind. This may be the cruelest television series I have ever come across. The producers think nothing of taking a likable young woman, confronting her with evidence that her boyfriend / hubby has been cheating on her with another woman, and then showing that poor girlfriend / wife reduced to a helpless, sobbing mass of humiliated grief as she discovers what her significant other has really been up to. (There are no re-enactments here; we get to see the real thing.) "Cheaters" isn't even one of those reality shows in which you feel a sense of satisfaction at seeing the cheater get it stuck to them in the end. It is just pure exploitation, without a shred of compassion for the people who have just had their personal lives shattered by what they discovered. There is no buildup of suspense as one would find in a filming of a "sting" operation, just pure, unadulterated, "peephole"-style viewing of other people's anguish.

IN this day in age where it can be easy to cheat and just as easier to lie and be around the bush about it, this show hits on that topic with tenacity and pushes the boundaries that many are afraid to confront the person on. Typically a real person calls in or goes online talks about their relationship and discusses on if and why the person is cheating (you know the warning signs, behaviors, etc). the investigators do their job and investigate the scenario to discover if the person is cheating or not; and the end results....well it can be explosive at most...but the end result is real, honest, and most people will feel and agree on how the person would react cause i'm sure many (including myself) would feel the same way if our loved one cheated on us.Sometimes the person is stupid enough to go back into the relationship and some are just as smart to move on from it; Either way the result is a tough, hard hitting show that should get credit for hitting on a topic that is tough to hit on when it comes to relationships...this show does change lives and set examples for those that are watching, "You think you can get away with the crime of cheating but sometimes....karma is a B**ch when you get caught!".Now, most people would say, well that's in invasion of privacy and that this show jeopardize relationships that not fully true; the fact is that 70% percent of men and woman cheat everyday...and at least 99% of men and woman would hardly tell the person that they are, most would rather lie just to get away with it; Cheaters fights back on those types of BS and hits hard and helps the person who is being cheated on to find closer or to work it out...in the end when the person is caught its all about choice for the cheater and the cheated. The end result is a good and real show that people should watch with seriousness and relate to that part of you that has been cheated on once but never knew or known and realized that now there's a way to find out.

There's a lot of worthless garbage on TV, but until I actually saw this I would never have believed that we'd reached the point where such voyeuristic filth as this could get on the air and remain there.The whole concept of "busting cheaters" in this way is utterly ludicrous. If you are only someone's girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not own the other person. Who they want to see is not any of your business, and it works the other way as well. This show for all intents and purposes acts as if it's a crime to go out with someone else.The hosts strike me as the sleaziest low-lifes ever, and it says a lot when such things can make a living doing things like this.If you're a fan of this show, you obviously don't care about civility or real morals to ANY degree, and you are to be pitied.
