The Yogurt Shop Murders

The first episode was informative and the whole series could have been wrapped up in 2 hour long episodes. The next episodes became increasingly boring and hard to watch as there was no information after the DNA and the whole series is spliced together news clips, understandably emotional discussions with family members and cuts to the woman who did the original work that was shelved and revived. It should have been condensed. She is also looks strange, as if she just got out of bed, for all her on air segments. Hair messy, no make-up or decent clothing, and monotone answers. I would like to see a documentary on missing New England nurse Maura Murray next. Hopefully science will be able to determine the offender from the partial DNA sample in the future but many times, the criminal will have died.

I feel so sad for the families that this series did not do the story justice. It was so slow and drawn out. As my husband and I watched the first episode, we felt it was a little scattered and slow, but gave it the benefit of the doubt and continued watching. After it finished, we hoped the second episode would be better. We were skeptical but hopeful. We waited the week and watched the second. It was maybe a smidge better in some regards, worse in others. Unfortunately, we gave up and won't be watching the remaining episodes. I'll read about it and watch other docs or YouTube videos to learn more about this story.

Too long and frankly the 'cliffhanger' to be revealed might have to wait until we are all dead. Nothing of value at the end of the day. It's too bad for the families that had to relive this once again on a poorly produced amd edited documentary. The research into the backstreet was not done very well. Any 3rd grader could have written this uo to be more exciting. Can't wait for more......not.

I agree with most of the reviews. It's so slow and the famous podcast about this case is so much better. They spend a lot of time on the falsely accused. And that would be great if they were really clear about the evidence and how there is none against them, essentially. Just poor police work. Seems like they want you to think one of these falsely accused, actually did it?? Good grief. I was really looking forward to this. To set things straight. Make the evidence clear. Nope. Don't count on that, at all. They didn't even explain what likely happened that night. There are some pretty solid explanations of what happened, why one of the girls was further than the others and shot twice, not once. Very important details you will not get from this documentary. And I get if it was for the families, and left those horrific details out. But how is this for the families either?? It does justice to no one. Least of all, the families of the murdered girls.

As a true crime aficionado, I was really excited for this documentary. The YSM is one of the most fascinating unsolved cases ever, imo. I really hope this picks up the pace soon. Very boring. Almost nothing about the actual crime. Seems like bio on the personal lives of friends/family/police at the time. Very disappointing so far.
