Highlights
- The show is about the decade-long scam of Hargobind Punjabi Tahilramani and his arrest in 2020.
- Detailing is good but not impressive.
Hollywood Con Queen is a docuseries streaming online on Apple TV+ from May 8, 2024. The series is receiving a mixed review from the critics as well as the audience. It is about an Indonesian man, Hargobind Punjabi Tahilramani, a grifter posing as Amy Pascal (Former Sony Executive), Wendi Murdoch (Producer), Doug Liman (Director), and Sherry Lansing (Former Paramount Pictures CEO) to con the people of the entertainment industry.
The episodes (runtime of 180 minutes) show how his decade-long scam was brought to an end. The first episode is full of testimonies of his victims, saying how they were defrauded and robbed of their money. But the rest of the episodes are loaded with fillers and over-ratted pointers. People comment that the runtime can be reduced to 60 minutes as it would be more effective to watch. Overall, it is an average run-in-the-mill sob story of a con man and his victims.
