That review is from watching the first 6 episodes out of 8.
This attracted me because of the reported similarities to the Making A Murderer series. Sadly, however interesting the topi at hand is, the approach and tone is pure sensationalism, the editing is one of reality TV character, and the humanity and emotional aspects are vastly lacking. In itself it could be OK, but as the "investgation" is heavily leaning on the grimmest possible path, you start to feel that the producers wanted to mix the last scene from "Seven" with TV reality storytelling. Oh, and it doesn't help that throughout, we learn that the investigation led by the journalists has actually mostly matched the ones led by police departments. Two episodes to go, but I can already safely say that this isn't something I'd recommend my family to watch, unlike "Making A Murderer". In the end, the results of the investigation might be interesting, but this was tastelessly done to say the least. I just wish I could follow this without feeling like I'm watching porn...
