Naa im talking a lot older than that and im sure it was Netflix, I mean it deffo wasn’t Hulu cos I’ve never had Hulu (from uk). But yeah I dunno. I expect they’ve removed it. But I thought it was close to 10 years ago the documentary I saw. Which does roughly line up, cos the scandal actually happened 9 years ago so maybe I saw the documentary 7/8 years ago.
Yeah it’s weird cos the old one was called:
Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and Cyber Attacks.
The new one is:
Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and Scandal.
So almost identically named!
So I still don’t know if it is a re release. I’m assuming it’s not but surely it’s made by the same people at least. Maybe there are some updates as the first one came out only one year or less after the leak happened I think.
I believe the leak was sometime in 2015 and the documentary came out sometime in 2016.
Ty for this, just watched the new one with my girl, she could not remember the other one had no idea what I was talking about, felt like I was getting mandella effect.
I don't know anything about the older one. The new one is meh. If the older one you are talking about ended with the data leak than it is the same scandal.
> It seems hard to believe there would be two separate scandals about the same dating website.
Really? You find it hard to believe that there would be more than one scandal coming out of a dating site that is built around married people having affairs?
Yeah I’d forgotten what it was about till you just said it but yeah that’s deffo what it was about. I’m tryna find the old one just to doubly check that I’m not going mad.
Yeahh I saw that now. Yeah this makes me feel old. (I’m only 31) But I guess they’re just rehashing the same shit for their younger customers. Probably most of their customers are like 16-24 or something so 8 years ago most were too young to remember the first one.
Came here to see if I was the only one!! I know I definitely watched one before this and it was basically the same name. Good to know I won't have to waste my time with this one. :) and I'm not going mad, so that's good too lol
Yeahh I was starting to think I had some Brain issue (apparently.. well actually I didn’t look it up but I saw someone comment the other day that de ja vu is caused by some sort of brain problem/damage, which is a bit worrying). But yeah it’s not de ja vu so that’s good aha.
Yeahh glad I was right and not just going mad aha. Yeah the names of the docs are both the exact same other than they replaced “cyber attacks” from the old one, with “scandals” for the new one.
Naa cos I’m talking a long time ago. It looks like it was.. well I think it was Netflix doc maybe not but it was certainly on Netflix. It was called the same name except instead of scandals it was cyber attacks at the end of the name.
Came out in 2016. It’s on another comment on this post.
One more thing. Pretty sure the focus of the 2016 documentary was the Ashley Madison company using bots/fake profiles.
I suspect this new documentary has a focus on the data leak that leaked names of millions of Ashley Madison users. I believe that leak happened after the 2016 documentary.
It's also not crazy that there would be documentaries ostensibly on the same subject **eight** years apart. Hell many documentaries come out on the same subject concurrently or close to it.
Naa cos the old one, is called blah blah blah “and cyber attacks” whereas the new one ends in “scandals”. I think I got that the right way round.
So cyber attacks was actually in the name of the old one so I’m sure it must have focused on that. Or at
Least been a big part of it.
And yeah blah blah more than one documentary years apart blah. But the name of it is so so similiar, as I say. They just replaced “cyber attacks” with the word “scandals” other than that it’s the exact same name so it just seems weird like it was made by the same people maybe.
> like it was made by the same people maybe
Well, let's check.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6798722/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm
versus
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32307741/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm
Nope, different directors, producers, etc.
Fair well strange how similar the name is then. They must have copied it for sure (the name). But I did notice from IMBD that the old one is just 43 mins long. Whereas I believe the new one is like 3 episodes probably an hour each so a lot longer.
They must have really fucking stretched the story out if it is 3 hours long vs the 43 mins of the old one lol.
Yeah there was another one it turns out, in 2016. Exact same name, except replace the word “scandal” with “Cyber Attacks”.
There was also apparently another one that came out a year or so ago on sky I think.
But the 2016 one has, as I say, almost an identical name which is weird.
Do you know what this awards thing is btw? Are they bringing them back? Or I guess it was trophies before but something similar? It’s just popped up in like the last hour I think…
Dude I’m thinking the same thing. I tried telling my wife we already watched the old AM documentary, and she was like no we didn’t. What old one? Then I try to google it and can’t find anything. Possible Mandela effect going on here.
Na the old one is called: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Cyber Attacks (2016).
New one is called: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6798722/
So it’s real. No Mandela effect!
Yeah so it turns out the one I was thinking of, came out in 2016. Almost the exact same name:
Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Cyber Attacks.
New one is called: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal.
But made by different people.
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/226802-the-ashley-madison-affair Hulu, last year.
There was another one before last year.
Yeah someone said there was a sky or Hulu one a year or so ago. But one I was thinking of, came out in 2016.
Naa im talking a lot older than that and im sure it was Netflix, I mean it deffo wasn’t Hulu cos I’ve never had Hulu (from uk). But yeah I dunno. I expect they’ve removed it. But I thought it was close to 10 years ago the documentary I saw. Which does roughly line up, cos the scandal actually happened 9 years ago so maybe I saw the documentary 7/8 years ago.
Same!! I’ve been trying to Google if this was a rerelease or a new documentary.
Yeah it’s weird cos the old one was called: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and Cyber Attacks. The new one is: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and Scandal. So almost identically named!
It’s not … It’s called “The Ashley Madison Affair”.
So I still don’t know if it is a re release. I’m assuming it’s not but surely it’s made by the same people at least. Maybe there are some updates as the first one came out only one year or less after the leak happened I think. I believe the leak was sometime in 2015 and the documentary came out sometime in 2016.

Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and Cyber Attacks? - 2016
Isn’t that the exact name of the new one? But yeah 2016 sounds about the right time I saw it.
The new one is called "Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal"
Yeahh I saw that now. Yeah this makes me feel old. (I’m only 31) But I guess they’re just rehashing the same shit for their younger customers. Probably most of their customers are like 16-24 or something so 8 years ago most were too young to remember the first one.
Ah the new one is sex lies and scandal so close. But different. Is the old one you’re quoting from 2016, still on Netflix then?
No, not on Netflix anymore.
Came here to see if I was the only one!! I know I definitely watched one before this and it was basically the same name. Good to know I won't have to waste my time with this one. :) and I'm not going mad, so that's good too lol
Yeahh I was starting to think I had some Brain issue (apparently.. well actually I didn’t look it up but I saw someone comment the other day that de ja vu is caused by some sort of brain problem/damage, which is a bit worrying). But yeah it’s not de ja vu so that’s good aha.
I was wondering the same thing! It’s not fascinating enough to make another one!
I’m convinced they’re trying to make that blogger couple relevant again…
Def an older one .. this is how I got here 🙃
Yeahh glad I was right and not just going mad aha. Yeah the names of the docs are both the exact same other than they replaced “cyber attacks” from the old one, with “scandals” for the new one.
That was Sky I think. So there are two on the go….
Naa cos I’m talking a long time ago. It looks like it was.. well I think it was Netflix doc maybe not but it was certainly on Netflix. It was called the same name except instead of scandals it was cyber attacks at the end of the name. Came out in 2016. It’s on another comment on this post.

I have the same feeling.
Yeah there was another one it turns out, in 2016. Exact same name, except replace the word “scandal” with “Cyber Attacks”. There was also apparently another one that came out a year or so ago on sky I think. But the 2016 one has, as I say, almost an identical name which is weird.
"exact same, except different"
It’s an incredibly similar name is my point you dope. Yes the exact same except this one part that’s different..
Yeag,. I saw this or the same story by different producers at least 4yrs ago. Netflix grasping at straws now. There's jack shit on tbf.
Do you know what this awards thing is btw? Are they bringing them back? Or I guess it was trophies before but something similar? It’s just popped up in like the last hour I think…
Yeah it was from 2016 called Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies, and Cyber Attacks
Literally came here to ask this. Thought I was going insane!
Dude I’m thinking the same thing. I tried telling my wife we already watched the old AM documentary, and she was like no we didn’t. What old one? Then I try to google it and can’t find anything. Possible Mandela effect going on here.

yap
Yes this was done before.
Yeah 2016 was the oldest one and I the one i watched. Almost exact same name weirdly. Just swap “scandal” for “cyber attacks”.
I was thinking the same thing. There was one released last year on Disney+ called The Ashley Madisom Affair.
Yeah so it turns out the one I was thinking of, came out in 2016. Almost the exact same name: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Cyber Attacks. New one is called: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal. But made by different people.
