A fondo: La desaparición de Birgit Meier

And this documentary could have been told in two episodes. I think Netflix has a great selection of true crime docs. I must have watched every single one it has to offer. I would rate this one as one of the average ones. The storytelling is good, the production and all the other technical stuff is good. But it's way too long. I actually dozed off at the end of episode 2 and I never doze off when watching a true crime documentary.

Good documentary but stretched unnecessarily.

Netflix can make these with in 90 mins but they drag it for no reason. But, anyone who likes watching real crime documentary will like it.

The show had me like - "Wooow!" and not for the reasons I'd expect from a show like this.

Without revealing much, the story is, of course, about true crime from 1989 and incompetence that made people look for answers for so long. You'd think people in power could pull things off, but this doc throws light on how that may not always be the case.

The storytelling/narration and the cinematography were good . I think overall show could have been SO MUCH better it were a 1.5 hr vid or a 2-ep series, because it felt kinda slow for 4 eps but I didn't mind it.

I think you might enjoy it more if you watch it in German. It's a slow-burn, but might be worth your time.

Go see this documentary if you are a true crime series fan. It is very well documented and the story and subject are very interesting. I was glued to the screen to see the outcome. It is also very sad and frustrating because you can see that the police is not doing their job very well.

Other reviewers said that it is too long. I didn't find it too long.

Thank you Netflix once again for bringing another crime documentary.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is your run of the mill true crime story. It's so much more. Everyone should be loved as much as Birgit Meier.

I like to think that my family would have looked for me this hard. Honor to the family & loved ones of Birgit Meier.
