D.B. Cooper: Où est le pirate de l'air?

In November 1971, an audacious man hijacks a plane, and escapes with a fortune using a parachute.

I'll be honest, I was enthralled by episode one, the story itself is fascinating, romantic and bold, almost James Bond like, however, episodes two, three and four, offer nothing, other than conspiracy theories, it's such a huge disappointment.

Very slick visuals, good music, but ultimately the series is vacuous, it's all just window dressing.

I loathed the way that Rackstraw was hounded and pursued. He had a checkered past, but I was not ok seeing a man of advanced years treated in such a way.

Some of those interviewed here, I actually felt a little sorry for, worryingly obsessed, the kind of people that see conspiracies in every corner. I think it's plain to see there are some very unhealthy obsessions at play here. Coopercon, I think my jaw dropped. If that's your thing, you may enjoy it, some of the opinions expressed were a little embarrassing.

5/10.

The first episode is good, going into detail on the heist and aftermath as well as bring up popular theories and lines of inquiry. Then the series snowballs into conspiracies, ambushing suspects, and people with no credentials enjoying hearing themselves talk.

The documentary didn't care about telling the story of DB cooper instead it want to convince us that Robert Rackstarw is dan copper, watching YouTube videos would be much more entertaining than this.

The case of DB Cooper is one of great mystery and intrigue. What confused me was the objective of the series, is it to investigate the actual case or showcase the people who have dedicated their lives to end up nowhere close to definitively proving anything? Could have been a decent 90 minute movie instead of four episodes with an incoherent structure and rambling testimonies from the 'cooperites'.

So I watched all episodes in one sitting and while there are a few new concepts, nothing really new to show the public. To me it was another way to sell some merch while leaving me with nothing more than "why did I just spend a few hours watching another DB Cooper documentary"??? Is it well made? Yeah not bad. They clearly spent some cash and time on the series but really didn't give us anything new to ponder on. Sorry Netflix not gonna cut the mustard... Let's try it again for the 60 year anniversary cause we all know this probably won't get solved...
