Une traque américaine : L'attentat du marathon de Boston

This three-part series is a broad and profound look into the events, and people, connected with the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. It's an especially interesting character study of those who were responsible for the bombing, and of those who were most affected on the day of the Marathon- and the week that followed. The actual terrorists, the local Boston Police, the FBI, along with the local and National Media, are all examined and well represented. Those who were interviewed all have very intriguing stories to tell. Extremely well edited and produced with emotional testimonies. It was compelling from start to finish. I highly recommend this docuseries as it was well worth the three hours. I give it a strong 8. If you're even remotely interested to know what happened at the 2013 Boston Marathon, watch this, right now.

I liked this docuseries. I like that the show focused more on the investigation than on the bombers. It didn't glamorize them or make them look 'badass'. It showed them as criminals with miserable life who did terrible things and ruined other's lives.

The series showed real footage, mixed with a reenactment, and interviews that show what happened. It's so sad to see how the bombing messed up the people and the city, but also interesting to see how the city fought back and helped each other. The show also explores the reasons why the guys did it and how they got brainwashed. Overall, i think it's a good docuseries.

Other than having viewed other documentaries, and a recent drama tv-series about the triple murder that happened a few months before the marathon bombings, that this maybe one of the sturdiest and most neutral of them all.

Based on interviews of victims, runners, friends and law enforcement , a massive surge of new reels and amateur footage and stills, and lets not forget the terrible heartshooting sounds of screams and the shootouts from the manhunt.

What i miss though , is the part that i find most peculiar that they do not air, is the lack of interviews from the initial custodial moments, there must be hundreds of hours of search and research from the criminologists and psychologists that mustve interviewed the culprit, and this documentary doesnt give you a clue what happened in the courts. That should be the next story to tell for us non bostoners and non citizens of the usa(im norwegian).

Im not calling out for an hero, cause that is of course all the massachutinarians, but a bit more of the works of miss justicia wouldnt harm the case. As a conclusion i would say that matters of this kind will never come to an end, and im afraid that something like this will happen again. So in the mean time my message to the survivors and the people that lost loved ones, STAY STRONG FOREVER, and stay together in the memory of the deceased.

Well made and intense documentary, a recommend from the grumpy old man.

Nobody will forget the footage from The Boston Marathon, the explosions that caused deaths, injury and so much upset. This three part documentary series explores who was behind it, and why, as well as the shocking series of events that followed.

In comparison with some more recent documentaries, this one was streets ahead, very detailed and factual, not only did they try to give context, but they also tried to explain the how and why, just how the brothers ended up committing their horrendous acts.

The second episode is one of the most shocking, but interesting things I've seen in some time, it's truly like something out of a well imagined action thriller.

Some very revealing and interesting interviews, you'll get some powerful insight into events, first hand.

Definitely worth seeing, 8/10.

I'm truly shocked to see so many poor reviews! I started watching this on a whim and was in tears within the first five minutes, seeing little children dancing and playing and then BOOM! The shock and terror of the assembled crowd was heart-breaking. Living in the area (and husband working in Boston) it was gripping to see all the home and security videos pieced together to give an overview of events.

As the bombing was on the forefront of the news for days we saw a lot of what was going on with the manhunt. I was transfixed watching this docuseries. Hearing the perspectives of the home videos as well as the calls to 911 and the interviews with peoples involved, both working and victims, gave a gut-wrenching perspective of the events that transpired. I personally feel this was very well made and I'll recommend this to others.
