Los asesinatos de la tienda de yogur

As a true crime aficionado, I was really excited for this documentary. The YSM is one of the most fascinating unsolved cases ever, imo. I really hope this picks up the pace soon. Very boring. Almost nothing about the actual crime. Seems like bio on the personal lives of friends/family/police at the time. Very disappointing so far.

The two episodes I have seen so far have been excruciatingly slow and boring beyond belief. This entire series thus far has been less about the actual case itself, and more about how it has impacted people close to the case in the most uninteresting approach possible. A great example is in episode 2, when the filmmakers visit the school of one of the victims to show us a small memorial for her at night, talking to someone who works for the school who has no relation to the victims and may not have even been alive when the murders took place.

With no new developments in this case and seemingly no interesting directions to go, this has to be one of the worst true crime documentaries I have ever seen.

I agree with most of the reviews. It's so slow and the famous podcast about this case is so much better. They spend a lot of time on the falsely accused. And that would be great if they were really clear about the evidence and how there is none against them, essentially. Just poor police work. Seems like they want you to think one of these falsely accused, actually did it?? Good grief. I was really looking forward to this. To set things straight. Make the evidence clear. Nope. Don't count on that, at all. They didn't even explain what likely happened that night. There are some pretty solid explanations of what happened, why one of the girls was further than the others and shot twice, not once. Very important details you will not get from this documentary. And I get if it was for the families, and left those horrific details out. But how is this for the families either?? It does justice to no one. Least of all, the families of the murdered girls.

The first episode was informative and the whole series could have been wrapped up in 2 hour long episodes. The next episodes became increasingly boring and hard to watch as there was no information after the DNA and the whole series is spliced together news clips, understandably emotional discussions with family members and cuts to the woman who did the original work that was shelved and revived. It should have been condensed. She is also looks strange, as if she just got out of bed, for all her on air segments. Hair messy, no make-up or decent clothing, and monotone answers. I would like to see a documentary on missing New England nurse Maura Murray next. Hopefully science will be able to determine the offender from the partial DNA sample in the future but many times, the criminal will have died.

Many reviewers here rated it bad just because it is a frustrating case with no killer caught. But this is not the fault of the film makers. I watch a lot of true crime documentaries and trust me that this is a good one. For many people it will seem too long but you have to take into account the fact that this is not a simple case. I think the producers of this documentary made a good job. There is a lot of information about the crime with interviews of the detectives, interviews with the presumed killers, police interrogations, interviews with the families of the victims.

I didn't know about the case until I saw the trailer and I was hooked.

If you are a true crime fan give it a try.
