This three episode "series" was well produced and executed, which many times makes up for a lot.
I didn't know the story, so I was surprised at how the ending diverged.
The production followed the victims and families respectfully and thoroughly. And even when it sometimes became a bit stuck on minutae, the details came back and proved necessary later on.
Editing, camera work, audio all contributed in this story.
Also, whoever first broke out the story in the manner they did--without following one person exclusively, but making the one dad a touchstone--did a great job of balancing all the moving parts.
