World's Most Wanted

The serie is not about the most « notorious » criminals but the most wanted and this is the good point of the documentary. Not all episodes are equal (Number 1- Ismael Zambada- is not the more interesting and Number 4- Semion Mogilevich- look like a never-ending coarse trailer), but all of them use a lot of great (and bloody) archival shots and documents how these criminals managed to escape the authorities. The last episode- Matteo Messina Denaro- takes place in the same location (Sicily) all 45 minutes long but keep you on the edge of your seat.

A binge worthy series which you can finish in one go, although it uses the same techniques of storytelling which a crime documentary would use. But it still makes it interesting to watch when you consider the scope of the crimes they have committed.

Fortunately I watched all the episodes, but the order of their broadcast is curious. If I were Netflix, I would have begin with the Sicicilan godfather (the most exciting and tense) and close with the Rwanda genocide (good episode with happy denouement). Other episodes are OK but could be broadcast in any order. My order of preference : 5,2,3,1,4

I always ask my self who are the world's most wanted criminals. And here is Netflix answering my childhood question!

Very interesting show and well directed episodes.

Netflix have provided another winning crime documentary by Novo Productions. All the most wanted people have their crime biographies on show here. It's a rogues gallery of the drug cartels chiefs; money launderers, terrorists, arms dealers and mafia on show.
