Yet another documentary about murder that is gratuitous and seems to forget that victims are human beings with family who loved them. Images of actual bodies and human remains should never be shown in the context of entertainment, it's incredibly disrespectful of the deceased and their families. If witnesses/interviewees in their own words use derogatory and discriminatory language to describe victims and that's going to be aired then at least provide context of real understanding of their vulnerability from authoritative voices.
I only watched the first two episodes, I couldn't sit through any more. Messy story-telling that meanders and is not compelling. It was a mistake to construct the documentary entirely of talking head interviews when many of the people interviewed are not reliable witnesses. I've read that was a deliberate choice but it was a bad one. The documentary maker saw the bias and lack of credibility - but apparently didn't see that as a reason to shine light on clear truths. The result was a lazy response to a situation of bad information, a continuation of a bad representation of these stories and yet another time these victims were badly let down.
Alan Alves the "former detective sergeant, satanic crimes" is clearly only an expert at fabricating his expertise out of very little substance or knowledge. The satanic element is a major distraction to the documentary and to the truth of these crimes. Vulnerability, abuse, corruption and ineptitude should have been the theme. But there's no titillating marketing in that, is there?
If anyone wants to tell the story of a tragic death then they owe the victims a lot more than exploitation, they owe them recognition of their humanity, and above all truth.
