Viewers were divided over a BBC documentary examining the rise to fame of pop star Britney Spears - and the conservatorship that means she now has no control over aspects of her life and career.
The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship followed journalist Mobeen Azhar as he travels from the pop star's hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, to Los Angeles to meet fans.
They have established the #FreeBritney movement to find a resolution to the strict legal constraints she has been under since 2008 after a public breakdown.
While many praised the documentary for shining a light on the issue of conservatorships after it aired on BBC Two on Wednesday night, others branded it a "waste of time" - and said only Britney's words really counted.
Other interviews in the hour-long film included Catherine Falk, the daughter of former Columbo star Peter Falk, probate lawyer Lisa MacCarley, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and paparazzi photographer Rick Mendoza.
Richard Deane said: "This #BattleforBritney documentary is chilling. The power of record companies and how the law can be used against a vulnerable person".
But Maggie Cooper wrote: "None of these people have a clue about Britney's personal life or her mental state."
And Adam Smith said: "Refusing to watch the Britney doc on BBC2. Don’t want to hear off people who don’t know what’s going on, there’s only one persons view that matters. And that’s Britneys."
There was criticism from others for the documentary's focus on fan theories and the belief from some that Britney's social media posts contain hidden messages as a cry for help.
During the documentary Mobeen spoke to Britney fans including Hayley, who told him: "Britney is like my life. I love her, she's like my mom. Like I feel like Britney lo-key raised me.
"To me it's like Britney's in jail kind of."
Another said: "I don't think people understand what Britney means to us, and that we're not going to give up on her."
zcelticboy said on Twitter: "I'm curious - what PERSONALLY has Britney done for these fans who think Britney did something for them?"
Rock Lobster added: "48 minutes in and I still don't think we know what is going on with her conservatorship. Too much time spent on fan conspiracy theories."
The documentary followed The Framing Britney Spears documentary from the New York Times, which reopened the debate over the pop icon's life and career.
It prompted an outpouring of support for the star using the 'Free Britney' tag.
The end of the BBC film noted that Britney will address a court directly for the first time on June 23 after 13 years, 20 weeks and two days of living under a conservatorship.
Mark Lynn Adams said on Twitter: "The end of the BBC’s #BattleForBritney gave me chills. Enough is enough, it’s time to #FreeBritney "
