Under Suspicion: Uncovering the Wesphael Case

Dull viewing. A tragic story without any significantly vicarious narrative threads. Spare yourself the indulgence of 2.5hrs of viewing you won't get back.

Good crime show, slow pace but the plot makes up for it

The Accused man is a politician, which is a job for trained and experienced people who spin the truth to suit their cause. The evidence that he had a hand in the death of his tragic wife seems to prove this in my eyes. He was jealous, proud of his standing in the eyes of the public, and I believe his ultimate frustration with her decision to have chosen another man drove him to act in a state of rage. Probably a case of manslaughter.

I like the documentary a lot, okay maybe a little too long and repetitive, but stil very entertaining. Didn't bother me.

When they started to talk about his wife, the politician wife, I started to understand her personality a little bit more, a veeery unstable woman with a lot of father isssues. I didn't like her sister at all, ... see for yourself.

Too often they use the power of politicians to blame them inmmediatley, it doens't have to be like that all the times.

For me the reasonable doubt is really there, with the facts they reported in this documentary.

A must see for fans of crime documentary.

Netflix needs to stop with these excessively lengthy docuseries. First Elisa Lam, and now this mess. The creators of this show should have made it an hour to an hour and a half in length, tops. It's hard to have sympathy for any of the subjects involved. The murder victim, I reluctantly say, was deeply troubled and exhaustingly over-dramatic and made terrible life decisions including cheating on multiple partners. The accused husband seems worse. He's clearly a delusional narcissist who portrays himself as a victim and the way he speaks of his deceased wife is troubling. The most annoying, is the dozens of unnecessary and time-consuming interviews of arm chair wannabe psychiatrists who provide patronizing theories on what happened when the show's producers should have just stuck to the facts. I was in disbelief when I saw that producers could have easily stopped the show at four episodes (after already well-overstaying its welcome) but no, they had to drag it out for yet another pointless and tedious episode. I'm also not sure if Netflix had an agenda and edited these people to seem so terrible for dramatic effect, but everyone from the victim to the husband to the lover seem completely unlikable. It's hard to be invested in people who are portrayed like this and hopefully Netflix cuts these stories down in time as a crime series is never supposed to be boring. Unfortunately, this series should have ended by episode three.
