The case in itself is interesting. But it's very unsatisfying to watch. Like every Netflix series it turns and twists itself like pretzel to create tension, so we have the obligatory back and forth of time jumps. Only once would I like to see a docu series who has the discipline to tell it's story chronologically. For example it is revealed that the perpetrator owned a castle, and you immediately go "wait what?" but the series goes on for another twenty minutes until they even adress this detail.
It's stuff like this, the dramatic re-enactments and tired symbolic images when they show a spider or the 13th time the same shot of a stuffed animal. It's tiring, it's clearly filler what should have been at best 3 episodes. And then we don't get a real conclusion. Some of the deductions are baffling, the prosectur and psychologists come to the conclusion that she has a very high IQ and therefore couldn't be stupid enough to be manipulated by her husband. But what does intelligence have to do with the tendency of being vulnerable to manipulation? Isn't this more of a psychological issue? They don't factor in her psychological profile, her upbringing or family background? I was hoping we get some revelations on the missing cases or the real face of the perpetrators. But to no avail.
The series cocludes that the last living accomplice gets a kick out of being the center of attention, so congratulations for giving that criminal individual her own Netflix series.
