Typical Netflix: 3x too long but good tale

Warning: Spoilers
As other reviewers note, the case goes all over the place... but that's police work, especially in Italy, especially in the 1980s.

While watching, I wanted to employ Occam's Razor: what is the simplest explanation for Orlandi's kidnapping? But in that time, in that place, it really *could be * plausible that the KGB or Vatican Bank or church pedophiles or Mafia might be responsible. Or all of them.

The music video-style editing and repetition is tiresome and an insult to the seriousness of the subject matter. But as an Italian speaker, I commend the accuracy of the translation/interpretations.

In any case: RIP young Emanuela Orlandi, wherever you are.
