Shadow of Truth

I would have given this a very high rating if it had been properly edited.

Instead it was so unbelievably infuriatingly long and that length was caused by going over the same information again and again and again, just from a slightly different angle, long after we had very clearly understood the truth. This 'mini series', could and should have been a very powerful and addictively watchable 2 part documentary. The story is so incredible and so unbelievably unjust that it didn't need sensationalising. It just needed to be told. Instead it got very boring in parts and I only watched it all because my partner wanted to. I would have skipped to the end.

I can only think that they made it so long for commercial reasons. They didn't do the subject justice in my opinion.

If, like me, you want your true crime docs to be engrossing, chilling, mysterious to the end and, crucially, to produce a credible theory, you mustn't miss this.

It tells the story of a 13-year-old brutally murdered in a toilet cubicle at her school. It's during school hours. There's blood everywhere. How could anyone get away with this?

This is only a four-parter (which is both welcome and unwelcome at the same time), so you're introduced to the police's primary suspect early on.

Over the course of the series, the creators explore two other theories about what happened to Tair. The first sounds plausible (given when and where this crime took place); the second is mind-blowing. But can either be right?

I never knew about this case and I found this documentary by chance. I love crime series and all I can say is that 'Shadow of truth' is worth watching. The case looks simple at first, a tennage girl is murdered in the toilet at school, but it turns out is more complex. The crime was brutal. There are some very graphic photos from the crime. And there are 2 theories, the first one more plausible but full of holes and the second one more weird and insane but at the same time more probable. The crime itself was insane so I will go with the second theory. 'Shadow of truth' is very well documented with a lot of footage from the investigation, interrogations and family archive. It is a sad story in the end and I feel so sorry for the victim's family. I highly recommend this documentary for those who like true crime series.

A really tough and sad true story, not predictable and also a bit scary if you ask me.

8/10

Promised land isnt free from scumbags (to be clear, not talking about killer but piglice and prosecutors). What they did to poor Roman is even worse than what happened to the girl.
