I went into Primetime expecting a grounded, tense docudrama about the rise and cultural madness of Chris Hansen’s To Catch a Predator. What I actually got was one of the most tonal identity crises I’ve seen on screen in years.

Between Robert Pattinson playing Hansen with the dial cranked past eleven and an entire supporting cast matching that bizarre, hyper-theatrical energy, Primetime never settles down long enough to decide whether it’s a biting satire, a prestige procedural, or an outright camp spectacle.

In this spoiler-free review, we break down what works, what completely flies off the rails, and why the final cut feels like a fascinating, chaotic misfire.
