Taken Together: Who Killed Lyric and Elizabeth? Was one of the most heartbreaking and compelling true crime docuseries I've ever watched. The story of Lyric Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins, two young cousins who disappeared while riding their bikes in 2012, is devastating, but the documentary does an incredible job of telling their story with sensitivity and depth.
What stood out to me most was how personal this series felt. Unlike a lot of true crime documentaries that feel distant or overly dramatized, this one really focused on the families, their pain, and their relentless fight for answers. Seeing interviews with Lyric and Elizabeth's loved ones, along with never-before-seen footage and insights from investigators, made the case feel even more real. It's clear that the director, Dylan Sires, poured years of work into this, and that dedication shows in every episode.
The series is definitely thorough-maybe a little too long at times-but I appreciated how much detail it went into. It covers the timeline, the investigation, and even some shocking moments where people close to the case confront possible suspects. It's frustrating that the case is still unsolved, but the docuseries does a great job of keeping their story alive and pushing for answers.
By the time I finished watching, I couldn't stop thinking about Lyric and Elizabeth. This series is an emotional gut punch, but it's also an important reminder of how these kinds of tragedies don't just disappear. If you're into true crime, this is absolutely worth watching-not just because it's gripping, but because it feels like it could actually help lead to justice.
