Farah R @Farah May 30 It dragged on needlessly to create three episodes that could've been a one-and-a-half-hour movie, but it's an intriguing true crime documentary. See more Scott M @Skeeeeezo May 11 A well told doc covering a decade's long investigation, complete with archival footage, and interviews. See more B P @Bradster69 Apr 10 Netflix Delivers the Best Docu-Series of 2025. ‘Gone Girls’ does something unexpected with its empathetic approach to true crime as director Liz Garbus gives a voice to the voiceless and confronts police corruption. See more bill b Apr 10 One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in many years . Very thoughtful and respectful to the families of the victims . If you don’t believe in evil , I’m sure you will now . See more Claire M Apr 9 This was a very well done three episode documentary. The timeline was easy to follow and the people involved were compelling. The victims' families were so courageous and supportive of each other. I am eager to find out about further developments. See more Ron K @Ron_k Apr 5 Like many documentarys on Netflix it is full of people to hit the political nonsense box fest marks and so like many documentary,s it becomes a very slow and extra dramatized show full of people that know nothing. This kind of documentary needs facts, a good timeline, a good pace and let the people who worked on this case do the talking instead of people with opinions and repeating what were going to see in the next scene.
