A television show about video games that is not full of clichés, cartoons instead of player-based characters, and that does not associate violent acts with just sitting down to play on a PC or console?

To our surprise, it is what Perfect World: A Deadly Game delivers, a true crime documentary delivered in two parts, which is told how some players of the Chinese MMO Perfect World, during 2019 helped catch a murderer through the game and Discord.

During that year, a nick Menhaz user connected to a video game Discord server, where he dedicated himself to trolling others, something that, as is common, no one took much into account because unfortunately, we have all assumed that it is normal to run into that guy of people and we ignore them. But everything changed when Menhaz published several photos of dead bodies and claimed that they were members of his family.

The documentary tells how the group of players, who also connected to the same Discord server, realized that the guy could really be a serial killer, so they took on the task of identifying him.

As reported on the PC Gamer site, the show is not like other television programs where they focus on the negative aspects of video games, but rather the opposite, since they portray this community in a normal and organic way, telling, for example, how after killing his second victim, Menhaz logged back into the video game, a situation that alerted the group who scrambled to get his IP address to call the local police.

Perfect World: A Deadly Game is available exclusively on NBC’s streaming service Peacock, which can only be accessed if you’re a North American resident, though it can still be found non-exclusively elsewhere if you’re interested. who understand what I mean.
