Der größte Kunstraub der Geschichte

The most fantastic art heist of modern time deserves a hard look. Somehow, however, with so little factual evidence to go on this look goes overtime. A much tighter and better told series of events is here. Even though there is no hard evidence to charge any particular person this documentary manages to go over 4 episodes and 200 minutes plus. Though you already know beforehand this crime is unsolved and the whereabouts of any of the stolen paintings is unknown the producers have decided to draw everything out to a painfully long story. I kept watching for that nugget that never came that somehow pointed in one direction. It never comes and one feels wrung-out for the slog. It's a good mystery told in such a dragging back and forth style that it screams for a good editing job. It's just as likely that none of the possible suspects here ever touched or even knew who actually stole the paintings at the end of all of this. If any are ever recovered that is the story you'll want to watch, unless this same team produces it.

Starts really interesting. Becomes very boring and bloated just for the sake of run time. Skip this.

One episode of facts, three episodes of speculation and conjecture. This didn't need to be four episodes long. Might have been a decent 60-90 minute documentary. But we live in an age of streaming where *everything* has to be stretched into a series.

This documentary had a killer title, but it was such a drag to watch.

It feels badly put together. The music is really distracting and too loud. It's hard to focus on the interviews.

It's an ADHD nightmare. I couldn't really focus on anything because it kept jumping from one thing to another without really putting the pieces together or closing any topic.

Modern documentaries have perfected the art of turning a one-hour show into four 50+ minute parts. Other than excessive length and fluff, the show was interesting and entertaining.
