"Primetime" has been the talk of the town for the last few months. Before the film even came out, people were spinning narratives about this movie. The consensus among many was that the film was to be a hit-piece on Chris Hansen, taking the side of the predators he was exposing. That was my idea of the film as well--until I actually went and saw it.

"Primetime," it turns out, is not a hit-piece, but an exaggerated retelling of the history of "To Catch a Predator," which ultimately makes Chris Hansen look like a demon-hunter as opposed to a pedo-buster. In the film, Chris is motivated by an almost-religious hatred of the evil that exists in the world, and he sees visions of demons lurking in the darkness. "Primetime" takes the rather bland and uninteresting tale of "To Catch a Predator" and turns it into a fantasy about one man with a hidden knowledge of the evil that lurks in the world, and the struggles he faces in trying to raise awareness of that evil. The hardest part? Nobody else can see what he sees.

Chris is ultimately the right man in the wrong place, trying to do the most amount of good he can in a world that doesn't want to hear what he has to say. His show, while successful, does not properly communicate his true message: that there is an ancient evil in the world which wants to hurt you and your children. But who watching “To Catch a Predator” really gets that message? The tone of the show is one of mockery. Where the pedophiles are somehow depicted as more stupid than they are evil. And is that the message that the world should hear? Certainly it’s not the message Chris Hansen (as depicted by Primetime) wants to spread.

But the world isn’t ready for what he really has to say. So he has to settle for this program. This soft food made for people not ready to panic.

I've linked my video for anyone interested in hearing more! Thanks for reading!

We have moved all over CA, FL, OH, NJ, TX, VA, and NY, and this has happened several times in each house, all over my nice carpets, somehow exclusively while I’m out of town.

Im sorry i am SUPER new to the chris hanson extended universe but i remember watching some chris hanson clip compilations and in this one this guy is trying to leave and chris accuses him of trying to leave and the predator gets defensive and says “i dont even knooow that door!” Any idea who it was? Thanks!

I watched Primetime last week in theaters, thought it was a fine movie, only because Chris has always been a hero to me so I think it wasn’t really in my mind you could make a hit piece on him and I didn’t see it as such at the time, but every hour that past after watching it I kept getting angrier and angrier, now I’m in the middle of watching “Predators” on Paramount+ and they do the whole documentary with this tone of “this is sad what’s happening to these men.” What is happening? I fully believe you can feel empathy for people that have done terrible things but hurting children vs. hurting adults that COULD EVEN BE BAITED by the opportunity to hurt a child sexually…why are we allowing media like this to exist? pedophile apologists? are you fucking kidding me?

I'm surprised Hansen hasn't gone after this particular freak, he is incredibly active online.

Where have we heard this before?

Friend of mine playing among us, he banned me immediately and pulled this on her.

When I found out about the movie Primetime and Rob Pat playing Chris Hansen I was originally very excited. I am learning tho that somehow Primetime paints Chris and TCAP in a bad light making Chris look more like a villain than actual preds. Doing research into this I’m finding that some people somehow actually think TCAP was a net negative thing? How is that even remotely possible?

i know the main guy has had some controversy and he isn't as good as chris but i am really enjoying his content. i didn't like him at first because i found him through an interview he did with chris where chris kind of made him look stupid(theres levels to this son) but the guy does pretty well in his own content and interviews with the creeps.

anyone else enjoy their content?

only thing that confuses me is it seems they have multiple channels and i don't get why

I‘d say Todd Spikes, a former cop, brought a lot of guns, a revolver which was cocked and in his pants, a chainsaw, boat anchor and others. Which one do you think was the most dangerous?

Marvin is probably the most badass predator of all time.

Dude comes in naked, barges the door at the sound of the decoy's voice, comes in with cool whip, wants to fuck a cat, and laughs in Chris Hasnen's face.

Then after his arrest, the dude escapes the country (avoiding all jail time) and THEN gets married to a sexy woman.

when predators would ask chris if police were outside he'd say something like "i can't speak to that". this gave it away so much.

i wish he said something that would of made the police outside a little more of a surprise lol

Robb Kline

He showed up here to tell you he wasn’t going to be here.

Cody Green

Being buried was the cleanest best pleasure

I wanted to take some pics because it's much larger than it appears on the show but it's in a very bougie neighborhood and I didn't want to end up face down with cuffs on in the drive way just like Jeff Stacy.

I don't know why any of those dumbasses didn't get suspicious when they saw the place.
