The Last Hours of Mario Biondo

I wanted to read other reviews of this series before posting mine, and I was quite surprised by the number of viewers who gave the series a bad review while 100% agreeing with the point of view of the filmmakers. So in effect, they were mad that they agreed with what they watched. As a true-crime series, it has an interesting point of view which judging by the reviews is not a popular way of doing things, and that is to say they believe there was no crime. Instead, it focuses on a mother's increasingly delusion attempts to get justice for her son and the media sharks that fed this delusion. I think the problem stems from the fact that when a person dies, especially a young person, there is a lot of confusion as to what happened. This is coupled with the fact that in every country there is not enough money to sufficiently examine the death of every person. In this particular case, the initial investigators rushed to a conclusion that the death was accidental and suicidal without actually doing a thorough job. Then because the surviving spouse was a media figure, her actions were under more scrutiny than they would have been had she been a normal person, so that led to this gap where the family felt that the death had not been sufficiently investigated, and the ex was acting in a very callous way. Then the media jumped on the story and any chance of objectivity was lost. This is a very one-sided peace, but as I said before, I think it is now impossible to find the objective truth as to what happened.

What a waste of time. A delusional mother and family that thinks that they know what their grown adult son and brother thinks, do or not do in their absence.

Get real doing drugs is more comum that you think, have secrets, have intimate secrets.

Crazy people with no education with morals try to create a lie.

Even if theres the slight truth in what they say its just looses all credibility when they just live out of this sensationalists shows.

Pathethic documentary, this type of producers shouldn't be working in this industry.

And netlfix shouldn't finance this cringe worthy documentaries!!!

One thing I learnt that you should not have an Italian boyfriend that will party with coke as a first time in his life, his whole family is crazy and the amount of harrassment is unreal. Instead of getting therapy this family feeds the media attention, turning it into an income. "Beautiful and suspicious Spanish wife" has one crime, to have a relationship with a low level person. She should not grant access to her life just because he was handsome. His family shows it. Their hurt is not the subject anymore, it's a true crime doc about a crazy mother. She clearly states that she still is stalking.

A delusional Italian mother cannot entertain the idea that her cameraman son ever heard of cocaine and autoerotic asphyxiation. That he told her every thought he ever had, and a mother just knows. She forces the rest of her family the adopt the same position and spend the next 10 years ignoring autopsy results, judgements and countless investigations ruling that their son clearly died from autoerotic asphyxiation while on cocaine. Instead they harass his widow with countless baseless theories on her involvement in the "murder".

There are numerous cliff hanger revelations promised in the series, all turn out to be red herrings. Not one official ever saw one item of evidence of foul play.

The victims in this case are clearly the widow and the father and siblings of the deceased.

So this is a mini series about overbearing, controlling and blindfolded mothers.

We all know more than one.

Can't understand so many 1 star reviews (which actualy was what made me watch this).

The family is clearly disgusting and even 1 star is too high for them, but come on, the rating is for the documentary and not for the family.

It was their choice to do this poor figure, that is now available for every Netflix user to watch. And sure, the main content of the documentary is clearly that, because that is in fact the only story around this case: look at these crazy italians destroying another person's life, totally disrespecting their son's death, etc..

But again, the rating is for the documentary and not for Mario's family (who are utterly disgusting).
