I had to check twice to make sure I wasn't watching a rerun. It was the exact same plot of another show right to to the guy who monitors an aadult website going on a murder spree because of what he ad seen, and no one lasting at the job more than a month. I think it was an episode of Major crimes, but now I am so confused, I'm not sure

I don't think it's plagiarism as much as every series writer is writing an episode based on the reality that is the bane of social webpages.
Miscreants, perverts and sickos posting horrible things to the net.
"Can you keep a secret? Can you know something and never speak of it again?"

Almost all TV writers plagerize. The writers of scifi do it, criminal investigation shows do it too, and sitcoms are probably the biggest felons when it comes to dusting off overused concepts. It's like they all own a writer's bible of reusable story arcs. The vast majority of TV show writers are complete hacks who follow the rule that it isn't plagerizing if that show has not used the story yet.

Came here to say same thing. Blatant rip off of the CSI Cyber episode.
