Sad subject matter, but it didn't need to be a series
15 March 2020
It seems like most people here are reacting to the sad subject matter instead of actually talking about the quality of the documentary itself. I too was moved and disgusted by the sad story... but honestly, by the end of episode 2 I pretty much knew everything I needed to. This seems like the latest in an annoying trend where EVERY documentary produced by Netflix, Amazon, or HBO has to be a series. This seems to be done not out of necessity, but because everyone wants to find the next Making A Murderer. The end result is a lot of unnecessary padding that waters down the interesting main story. By episode 4, we were talking about things that were only nebulously connected to the subject at hand. The production value is high, but that can't conceal the fact that it's just not a very good series.
