The underlying 'David v Goliath' story in this documentary is interesting, and the subject matter makes the series a fun lark. But the series is ridiculously over stuffed with scenes about extraneous detail, long re-enactments and descriptions of minor events, and is way over-produced with pop-culture footage. There's one part where the producers want to emphasise that two characters had become friends, but instead of just having the characters say 'we became friends', the producers inserted a minutes-long montage of stock footage of friendships. I found myself getting super frustrated at the slow pace of the main story from the first episode.
This has to be one of the worst examples of a story that could've been a good 90 film, which Netflix stretched out so that it could fit into a 'series' format.
