    There's no reason for this to be 2 hours long.

    While the subject matter is fascinating and the focus on Kim Wall as opposed to the murderer admirable, this documentary was stretched to bizarre lengths... and I can't fathom why. This would've worked much better as an 80-minute doc, and literally no content would have to be cut; only the endless slo-mo transitions would have to be trimmed.

    The length really hurts the storytelling, as I felt myself lulled into boredom on multiple occasions. The content should drive the length; not the editor's love for overlong transitions.

    Good-Too Much Contextualizing

    Is worth seeing. Good documentary, but kind of weirdly felt like there could have been more and less. The more would have been as some others noted (spouse, boyfriend, escape, etc.). For me, the less would be the interviews where different individuals contextualize the murder into other issue areas. Not sure those were very inciteful and detracted a bit from the telling of a very real human tragedy.

    Are we becoming immune to cruelty?

    I dont really understand the reviews saying that this was extremely slow and boring? I never heard about this crime before and for me it was not boring at all. It kept adding more and more gruesome disturbing details of what happened to this poor woman. The story's timeline was a bit annoying to follow in some places, but other then that it was a very interesting crime story, one of the most horrific I saw. I feel so sorry for the family and friends of the victim and of course they have the rigth to talk about the victim as much they want, if you are not interested don't watch. As for the killer there is not much to it, it is a psychological condition he has and he fulfilled his dream.

    Very slow paced

    Could have been done with one episode. Way to many unnecessary cut aways. Felt like it was in slow motion. Could have been much less boring. Not much else to add but 150 character requirement.

    I watched ' The Investigation ' and I was enthralled but most would find that offering way too slow moving. So I was intrigued by this documentary with the same subject matter and I was not disappointed. An exploration of a seemingly random killing or actually bad luck; wrong place wrong time. Intelligent coverage of what was a such a sensational murder and criminal trial. Interesting, informative, sensitive rendering of a a tragic loss of a young curious female journalist trying to get a story. This documentary is everything that 'sensational media' discounts because they want the sensation and not necessarily the complete story. I have not watched much in this genre since I watched 'City Confidential' which I avidly watched a long time ago. This documentary is sensitive intelligent and extremely well executed.
