At this point, it’s a universal truth that everyone has been frustrated by a telemarketing call. But have you ever been curious about what occurs offstage? Probably not, but the intriguing three-part docuseries Telemarketers on HBO provides some answers.
The series delves deeply into the New Jersey-based Civic Development Group (CDG), a call center that pretended to make calls “on behalf of local police and fire departments” in order to swindle donors out of money.
The series, directed by CDG alumnus Sam Lipman-Stern and Adam Bhala Lough, debuted on HBO on August 13 to rave reviews.
A review by Joel Keller on Decider stated, “Telemarketers made us chuckle just as much as it made us upset. We were curious to see how far Lipman-Stern and [Pat] Pespas would go in their crusade against dishonest charity fundraisers.
Benny and Josh Safdie, a filmmaking partnership, join Dani Bernfeld, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Jody Hill as executive producers on the project.
