Looking at the reviews on this page, I got to say there are a lot of people who just lead some rather rigid, miserable lives. It could be fellow "Cooper-ites" that just wish Netflix had made a series with them as the feature. Who knows. Here is the quick take on the documentary series. All conjecture for sure, but it is a nice insight into a world that people like myself would never suspect. I wouldn't say this is the greatest series of all time, but it did provide a look into a fascinating mystery that intrigues to this day.
In regards to the strengths, I felt it did present a wide swath of objectivity. It's pretty obvious that Mr. Colbert is deeply rooted in this process, and confirmation bias is a potential reality. We didn't really need someone to say it, the documentary showed it. He risked his health, wealth and name for something that is not even definitive. Yes, the accusation of "doing it for the money" is prevalent, but it's not like he is taking in the cash here people. On the other hand, he is not the only one that shares the opinion that Robert Rackstraw was D. B. Cooper.
Now I will agree with the idea about the series being a lot of fluff, but I still found it interesting in regards to the amount of information and documentary footage associated with this. Whether or not the conclusion is valid....we may never know. Either way, still interesting to watch.
