Sad documentation about humanity
23 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
As I've just finished this series in one sitting, I feel nothing but anger and disgust. But I can not imagine what anger the parents must feel. This documentary shows how greedy human beings are in terms of fame and money. So greedy, that they are willing to use the case of a murdered child for their own advantage.

Of course I'm speaking about judge Jean-Michel Lambert, who's goal was clearly not solving the case, but to gain reputation and money from it. Not only was he very easy influenced by fortune tellers and other weird people from outside, who had NOTHING to do with the case, but he was the one turning the focus to an innocent person, Grégory's mother, making her life even more a living hell. He is in many terms responsible for the case failing.

On the other side are the paparrazi and reporter. Never will I forget the picture of them standing on grave stones, just to get the perfect picture of the funeral. Even more disgusting was the portraiting of Christine, the child's mother, who was demonstrated as the witch who killed her own child. This, and the people's wrong opinion resulting from that, shows how stupidly easy it is to influence society.

This case could have been solved in my opinion, if professionals had been on this job and if the media hadn't lead the father to kill the child's uncle and possible murder.

Netflix shows again that they can transform storys like this into crime documentaries perfectly. The whole series never gets boring at any point and the music and pictures are beautiful dark and fitting.
