Amanda C @Acrisp Jul 8, 2025 Man this was bad. Constantly burying the lead. So much filler. The voice over they use for the victim’s narration of her tumblr is so unlikable. Think Misa in the English dub of Deathnote. The only redeeming part was that it told the story of cyber bullying that went on. There’s a real victim and abuser in this whole thing and it’s not who you think. See more Gareth v @geewah Jun 24, 2023 What a poor doco-series this is. Adds nothing new on the subject and could of been an 1 hour production at best. The only takeaway from this is what a bunch of losers amateur/web sleuths are. See more Chris L @RT76579985 Nov 12, 2022 I do not agree with the low ratings. Sure, the storytelling was manipulative, but it was coherent and engaging for the viewer without "burying" anyone. If you appreciate a well-documented series of events, and good cliffhangers at the ends of each episode (that are actually addressed in succeeding ones), this is a must-watch. See more Marc Z @TKDLife Jan 6, 2022 My biggest criticism of this documentary about the disappearance of a woman at the Cecil Hotel was that it did not need to be told in four episodes. True they managed to cover a lot about the history and lore of the hotel as a background to the women in the elevator's disappearance. It was good but could have been half the length. See more Dec 29, 2021 They should have gotten more into the "there's dark energy in the upper part of the building." Why not bring sensitives and clarivoyants there? All energy is recorded in space (akashic records). There must be more detective working with clairvoyants. They should do many shows about it's effectiveness. See more Jul 8, 2021 Everybody involved in this investigation kind of gets dragged through the dirt. The police mistakenly overlook the water tanks, the hotel manager is out of her depth and the internet sleuths are frothing at the mouth like the case and the hotel are some kind of haunted air bnb. Everyone gets exposed in this one but at the same time, us viewers learn how difficult it is to take care of people who can't take care of themselves or who are incapable of asking for help. As for the documentary itself, it doesn't really bury the lead, since we learn about the missing girl's problems from the beginning. It still does a good job of walking us through the events as they occurred so we can discover everything at the same pace as the investigation unfolded. See more Read all reviews
