About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, step-by-step true-crime account with interviews and debate around the response, like Don’t F**k with Cats or Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields; Not for you if reenactments and heavy emotional commentary frustrate you.

Pros: gripping real footage; clear timeline; multiple viewpoints | Cons: reenactments feel sensational; uneven focus; some interviews feel biased
