A brilliant and breathtaking reconstitution of a multifaceted investigation, an allegorical epic on media and justice, secrets and lies, ambitions and misfortunes, community and individualism, violence and envy. All through highly fanciful, quixotic and controversial real-life characters. This documentary series is one of the best Netflix has ever produced.

Here is proof the media need to be stopped. This family was persecuted for lies the media made up. Throw in a corrupt judge and he took the only course that would bring justice to his son.

Home with a cold so I binge watched this in the morning and it is a truly harrowing and shocking documentary. It explores not just grief, a judiciary gone astray but the ability of the public to act as like a mob with pitchfork in in one hand and burning torch in another. A study of humanity I suppose.

It would have been fine with 3 episodes only. Five was just too much. Not that it was bad,but it just got repetitive by the third episode. Watch it if you are bored and enjoy documentaries.

Intense and morbidly fascinating documentary series about the murder of a child in France. I found it preferable to view the episodes over different days due to the total length.

The film-makers have done an excellent job in presenting the story with English narrative and sub titles and a lot of real life footage.

Journalists are shown to have significantly contributed to the failings in the case aided by incompetence from the police, judges, lawyers and legal system.

By the end of my viewing its is clear to me who was the murderer though the accomplices if any remain questionable. And in life sometimes victims need to take the law into their own hands to get justice...

For those who like true life crime documentaries this series is compelling; well done Netflix!
