I watch a lot of crime documentaries, and this was right up there with the best. They tend to tell the story with no fluff and there is rarely a slow moment. They use actors to recreate everything but the story is told by the "real detectives"...
Most of the acting seems realistic with a few flubs now and then. If you pay close attention, you'll see a lot of reusing of vehicles and locations from one episode to another but it doesn't take away from the story being told.
While not a straight up conventional documentary, they do a good job of keeping the recreated story true to the facts and do a good enough job that you feel like you really get to know the people involved. I wrote this fresh off this specific episode but my thoughts apply to the full series thus far as well. They've done very well with a fairly low budget.
Highly recommend.

We have all seen some pretty awful low budget movies, but this one takes it. The acting is horrendous, there are blatant cases where a main character is talking to a secondary character and the second persons voice is clearly added in post.
The video quality is awful, but particularly in any action scene of planes, in fact it looked so bad I was concerned that my video card was failing.
Uniforms used in the movie were not period correct, pistols that don't blow back to eject a cartridge, incorrect titles for personnel, and just plain lack of attention to detail. I didn't watch this anticipating a masterpiece, but this was so bad I have to assume it was done by someone who just wanted to throw money away so say that they were "movie producers" to coked up attractive women on a boat off the coast of Florida.
In closing, I watched this movie for free through Amazon, and I was still annoyed. If I paid 10 bucks to see this at the theater when it first came out, I'd probably never have gone to another theater movie in my life.
