Shut Eye on Hulu about the psychic scam business

Shut Eye, a series on Hulu, Isabela Rosselleni is matriarch of a Romani gypsy family who controls all of the psychic and fortune telling scam businesses in L.A. I saw 2 episodes. I like that it exposes some of the parlor tricks that storefront psychics use, like cold readings and “for $500 I can remove that curse from you.” Never fall for that. If you’ve give them money for that, go to the police — now. Storefront psychics historically advertise a $5 palm reading or psychic reading and then before your time is up (or days later in a call) they’ve frightened you about a curse that needs removing. Pretty spooky but it happens more often than you know.  Not a bad show, 10 episodes, it defintely has its teaching moments.
