    Not just the story of a crime

    Don't be fooled into thinking this is your run of the mill true crime story. It's so much more. Everyone should be loved as much as Birgit Meier.

    I like to think that my family would have looked for me this hard. Honor to the family & loved ones of Birgit Meier.

    Good doc overall

    Overall a decent true crime story, the point of view lies entirely with the victims family and investigation and keeps the focus on her. The interviews are relevant and the story flows easily through the episodes. A wild and kind of scary story.

    Too long, missing momentum and suspense

    It is a well known case in Germany, belonging to the so called Goehrde murders. There was a German TV which was much better than the docu covering the other murders as well. Netflix docus are too long in general, which is killing the suspense.

    It Sags in Places in Episode 3 but DAMN

    What starts out as a missing persons case but then appears to be a murder turns out to be something even worse. That's all I can say without spoilers.

    Most fun I've had watching a limited series (only four episodes) in a long time. You'll definitely be thinking about it afterward.

    Straight-up documentary--no narrator, host or silly music. But what a story. Beautifully filmed too.

    Excellent true crime documentary

    Go see this documentary if you are a true crime series fan. It is very well documented and the story and subject are very interesting. I was glued to the screen to see the outcome. It is also very sad and frustrating because you can see that the police is not doing their job very well.

    Other reviewers said that it is too long. I didn't find it too long.

    Thank you Netflix once again for bringing another crime documentary.
