La muerte vende

Did the people that wrote Netflix's synopsis even watch the documentary? I had never heard of this case before watching this and I don't think anyone who does watch it can state that this guy was guilty and that he actually ordered the killing of people for ratings or for whatever other purpose. The documentary is well made, if a bit too long, but it is unbiased enough to at least leave you in doubt. Yet, Netflix chose to draw their own conclusions and write a misleading, inacurate and plain dishonest synopsis... all in the name of ratings, I guess.

Brilliant documentary.... But I still can't decide if he's guilty or not, which shows what a great job the documentary makers made of creating an unbiased program. I'm leaning towards he was innocent, and the Families of the North were responsible..... What do YOU think?

I never knew about this guy or his TV show. Excellent storytelling and thumbs up for the creators of this documentary. It was very interesting. At the end of the final episode I cannot say if he was guilty or not. I think the truth was somewhere in the middle. What is clear is that the media dramatized everything and the prosecutors exaggerated the accusations. The sad part of everything is that there is a big problem with the corruption and criminality in Brazil. I don't say that every Brazilian is corrupt or a criminal but they have a big problem there and a lot of innocent people suffer because of that.

This series puts you in the judges seat. You are given all the evidence or even lack of it so the question is who do you believe. I personally couldn't make my mind up knowing how corrupted the cops are. The series started out quite promising. There was a of footage and interviews from both sides etc but the episodes started to feel very dragged out and even though I watched 5 of the 7 episodes and I wanted to know what happened next I just couldn't bare another dragged out episode. I decided to abandon the series and just go online to find out what happened. I think just because you have hours and hours of footage, it doesn't mean you have to include everything in the final cut.

What a surprise! This documentary was unusually well done: very detailed, mostly unbiased (to my non Brazilian eyes at least) and engaging. Some parts were a bit too long but the pacing was overall good: I really wanted to know more about what happened and the interviews were interesting and not just a boring filler.
