2/5
Viewers may wish they had followed the example of the McCanns and steered clear. Go to Full Review John Boland Irish Independent 03/25/2019
The fact that neither Kate nor Gerry McCann nor any of their friends nor investigating associates wished to take part in the series really says it all. Go to Full Review Katherine Steinbach Nonfics (Substack) 03/17/2019
This series allows many theories and sympathies to wash over viewers but then flicks them away like exercises in gullibility. Go to Full Review Anna Menta Decider 03/15/2019
At the end of the day, no matter how well-produced, this docuseries has been denounced by the only people whose obsession with Madeleine McCann is completely justified: Her parents. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

iker s @IkerSilva 05/29/2022 I don't know if it was the best-produced documentary of all time… but at least it made me learn about a case that frankly interests me a lot. It was a bit tedious at times but at the end the goal is the same. Let's raise awareness. Let's speak if we know anything. Let's find Madeleine McCann. See more Karis A 03/10/2022 I didn't know about the McCans story. I don't have a lot to say about the show itself but they told the story very well and it was displayed in a balanced manner. They had people who opposed each others ideas so that viewers could grasp both sides of what people think happened. It breaks my heart that nobody has been able to find not just Madeline but so many others. I hope that she'll be found, she's in my prayers. See more 07/01/2021 It says a lot when the parents want nothing to do with this production. Instead of providing and informative story, this is a video essay version of people magazine. Instead of interviewing anyone with anything to say, they spend most of the time speaking with a nosey neighbor who admitted to not seeing much and mostly talked about her self. What a complete waste of time. You will leave not learning anything. See more farah r @Farah 02/22/2021 I got bored out of my mind. See more inta k @intuciic 08/08/2020 quite meeh, not too interesting See more 05/20/2020 All conjecture and little evidence. This is a rehash of tabloid press and clear evidence that the press damages and derails such cases. Whether or not the parents were involved is unknowable. Gossip has no place in such events, and trolls are reprehensible. You cannot "know" anything without first-hand witness. These parents were subjected to social torture. And also tortuous was watching this. If you have no information to add, it's pointless. Pointless is the best review I can offer See more Read all reviews
