Meurtre à Madison

This is not really a review of Murder on Middle Beach only to say it is worth a watch. I am more concerned with the breed of reviewer that has emerged on IMDB and feels the need to tell people to ignore others opinions and he or she has the correct review, ala catherinepageellwood but certainly not only that member. The idea of a review is to get that persons take on the movie/series. If one does not agree with the reviewer then write your own review and let others decide for themselves. Trashing other people's reviews is just plain ignorant and a bit egotistical to say the least plus they can be a bit suspect.. I know there are sometimes when a review beggars belief and one thinks that maybe the reviewer was involved in the project but for the most part I think the vast majority of reviewers are honest people giving their honest opinion, that it differs from your experience makes it no less valid than the opinion of others. Have some Respect.

My mother was the victim of a homicide. I think this is one of the most authentic and unique looks at the aftermath of murder that I've ever witnessed. Bravo.

You must appreciate this young man's efforts to document his moms murder and yes, it's an academic documentary at first. Keep watching! Once HBO gets hold of this, the production moves to another level of intrigue and mystery. Sure hope the murder gets solved.

The courage and utter perseverance for Madison to pursue his mother's murder is beyond heroic. My only light at the end of this dark tunnel is that Madison Hamburg is going to make it. Well done

I had to step in here because people make garbage reviews based off watching only a few minutes. Episode 1 does start slow but there's a reason for that and if you watch the 2nd episode you understand why. We don't choose our parents y'all. It's kinda unfair to say "I can't watch this because he grew up privileged". It's actually a refreshing twist on most true crime doc's with the son of the murder victim being the one asking all the questions, and half the time, it's the first time anyone has asked them these questions (Police really seemed to have dropped the ball on this investigation) while also learning things about his mother and his family that he never knew growing up. The pilot was enough for me to want to know a little more and EP.2 has really gripped me in and gave me more than I expected after the pilot. Don't be turned off by weird reviews. In the pilot you kinda think you already know who committed the murder but that quickly changes. I'm very interested to see how the rest of this doc plays out.

(I hate leaving reviews for an entire series before the series is finished but I had to with some of the things I was reading. I will come back after the series is over to leave a proper review. So far 8/10 but I'll leave a 9 to balance out some of weird reviews)

I'm sitting here at a loss trying to put into words how much this documentary series has impacted me. I don't know that I can adequately describe it. I have never seen anything like this series. I had to write a review to let others know to watch this masterful piece of work. There is such an emotional payoff but it will wreck you at the same time. At this point, I will watch anything that Madison Hamburg makes in the future. He is so gifted and talented and I'm astounded at how intimately he conveyed his pain and loss and brought the viewers into his family. The level of vulnerability and courage that took just astounded me. I can't wait to see what he does next.
