    The end really kicks you

    I thought this was a fabulous documentary. No it wasn't your typical who done it crime documentary but that's the point! This film maker stumbles into a psychopaths world unknowingly, yeah its personal and not only police facts but that's what's so heartbreaking about it all! I can't imagine how Emma watched the rushes back and cut this into a film without losing her mind. Such a wild story and that final shot, sheeshh! I literally feel sick after finishing watching this, I now need to go watch some trash tv so I can sleep tonight. Well done team, a very well made film from a very different perspective.

    hindsight it becomes terrifying.

    This documentary is about the people around peter madsen and how they react to the murder. It's very interesting seeing people trying to just figure themselves out about how could I be together with a person who was this awful, but they didn't know. It kind of a awesome documentary on that level.

    You can see the intens reaction ,the bargaining the not believing it. I think it's an awesome documentary on that level on a technical level does not really special things happening, but it's just an awesome thing that this documentary was made in the middle of it happening and they didn't even know it was gonna become a murder documentary

    Peter Madsen an interesting character because we can't see how he's kind of weird, but it's only in hindsight that it becomes terrifying.

    It is on Netflix and it's totally worth a watch.

    This documentary fails to show very important events. The dramatization in HBO's "The Investigation" is clearly the better choice.

    This is not the first time that I see a crime show or documentary about the "submarine murder" done by Peter Madsen.

    The dramatization in the 5-part "The Investigation", made me first aware of the events that happened. And I should say that it is far superior to this documentary that is just released by Netflix.

    This documentary misses a lot of the events that were instrumental in the complete story. Events like either the extremely difficult task to lift the boat from the seabed or the mindboggling search for the body-parts using blood hounds from another country were not even covered in this documentary. And it is exactly these unlikely events that make this murder case unique.

    I therefore recommend that you instead watch the above-mentioned crime show "The Investigation". You will be way more informed of what really happened.

    All-in-all, I could therefore not really be surprised by this newly released documentary on Netflix. Although it is a decent documentary, I got the impression that during the last 30 minutes much "filler-material" was used to get to a 1.5 hour target duration. Especially the scenes of a woman with curly red hair - a volunteer that worked for Madsen - were totally out-of-place. She was suggesting that it must have been her that was the original target of Madsen, thereby putting all focus on herself instead of the real victim. I found that a bit disrespectful.

    I should note that this documentary peeked my interest more towards the space-race between Madsen's rocket company and the neigbouring "Copenhagen Suborbitals". The story between those two companies was the most interesting of the complete documentary.

    In the end I would rate this documentary with 5.6 stars, which I round up to 6 stars.

    Compelling viewing

    This is a chilling exposé of a sociopath at work. In every frame of this absorbing documentary you cannot help but question the real motives of everything Peter Madsen says and does. Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing and you really feel empathy for the cast of characters caught up in his web of deceit.

    The producers and director do a great job weaving the characters (effectively innocent bystanders) to the main plot. The director also manages to ratchet up the tension as we get nearer and nearer to the already known, but still feared, denouement.

    This is a great piece of documentary work by the same producers who gave us the equally absorbing Amanda Knox story.

    Red flags this man is creepy

    I have never heard of this before until I watched this documentary. It was very interesting to see how the people who worked with Peter Madsen on building his next project of a rocket-ship that they didn't see the red flags of this cool collected person like Peter Madsen. It kind of give you some clues why would you put a saw on a submarine? Or other tools that I can see. I

    I do like the back and forth interviews between the people that knew Peter Madsen leading up to the trial; which I think he should have a death penalty. But I could see almost right off that Peter Madsen seems a little off and makes it wander if he had a rough childhood or was it later on. Who knows. But the guy will not let out anytime soon.

    Good documentary.
