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.

Netflix's true crime documentary series World's Most Wanted follows the world's five most wanted criminals who have so far eluded the arm of the law despite hefty rewards and international manhunts.

"The World's Most Wanted Criminals" makes the best of himself.

The fact that some episodes are a bit boring is probably more the reality that there are not many interesting criminals who are still on the run (which is of course a good thing :D) I think the documentary series has presented the stories in the individual episodes quite well.

In any case, you can take a look, if you seek a thrilling documentary.

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

Way too many unnecessary cut scenes and aerial shots to make these episodes longer. I'm guessing they spent most of their budget filming that trying to fit it all in rather than just give us the information. Interesting cases though so I watched all 5, just could have done without the over production.
