Schneider was the force behind some of Nickelodeon's most-watched shows. all things, amanda shaw and Icarly. But the arrest of two child predators who worked on Schneider's set, as well as accusations of sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct by Schneider himself, have revealed some dark truths. Following the release of the docuseries, former child actors took to social media to issue statements and talk about their experiences on the Nickelodeon set. But did the internet reaction from both viewers and former child actors help or hurt the goals and objectives of the documentary itself?
