The Disappearance of Susan Cox Powell

As other reviewers have said, the presenter completely spoils this heartbreaking story with her obsession of making sure she is the centre of attention. There is absolutely no reason why we should see you at all in this. Some clips, seriously repeated 10 times, it felt like 10 x 20 minute episodes had been stitched together. Just a very poor documentary about a sad story. They should've handed it over to professionals to produce.

Expands and explodes in all sorts of unsuspecting ways. Good detective work by the series producers. Good "slow unveil" by the screenwriters. I really recommend this one which I found on YouTube.

Has some useful insights, but I consider it more supplementary to the "Cold" Podcast that came out earlier this year. They provide a lot more context than this documentary does and they go way deeper into Josh's story.

For all of you who feel the need to criticize Susan for her behavior towards Steve, it's clear that she was being naive, nothing more. Was it "good" behavior? Maybe not, but she clearly didn't think that's Steve was going to become obsessed with her about it and when he confessed his love for her, she was obviously not at all happy about it and practically avoided him like the devil from then on. It's always easy to criticize when we actually know what happened, but she didn't have that luxury.

I've seen probably ...really every show about this case and i could say this covers the whole thing in the best possible way.. given what we know... regarding evidence. one reviewer criticised the editing asking why the story was given away before the end?.. which i don't understand...? it actually followed the timeline. i liked that. and i liked that it was, to 99% probably, made out of original footage - meaning no reenactments.

totally recommended

This could have been much more effectively and intelligently told in a quarter of the time to make a stronger statement in support of abuse victims. Countless unnecessary recaps, terrible editing and numerous jumps around the timeline in the name of unachieved suspense are presented by a director and production team who will hopefully find different careers now. Jenn Oxborrow's contributions are the highlight that gain it some stars.
