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.

Jean Kerr only cares about pictures and journalism and laughs on a sad and painful occasion, how ridiculous and provocative, but the documentary is very excellent

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!

8/10

8/10.

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.

I listen to French news radio and heard a lot of coverage of this decades-old crime when the case was reopened a couple of years ago. But I couldn't make heads or tails of it. The names and relationships and who did what to whom were so confusing. Reading current French news articles did not clear up the confusion. Neither did English-language coverage. It wasn't until I got through all five episodes of this documentary that I was finally able to comprehend the story and why it has captivated the French for so long.

If you opt to watch in French, be advised that the subtitles move along at a rapid clip.
