Roberta D @RT55441363 03/11/2025 No real facts are revealed after episode 1. It just drags on without any evidence. The take away is that the whole case is weird, but the answer is not available to us. See more Michael W @mawilps 01/19/2024 This docuseries was great. The entire crew did an excellent job on telling this crime story about Vladimir Pokhilko, the co-developer of the popular video game Tetris and the murder of his family and himself. There was a lot of suspicion going on during this case and many still believe that it needs to be opened for investigation and I agree. These types of cases need to be solved no matter how long it takes. That's my opinion. If you haven't seen this docuseries yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.
