    Worst Documentary I've ever seen!

    So much information missing and too much talking by people who really didn't even know them besides on social media. Needed to focus more on facts and filling in information. Waste of money and time! Does an injustice to the children by not telling their whole story.

    At a loss

    I live 1 Mile from where this occurred. I followed this story. Two children never found. Movie said one. But it was two. The little girls calf and foot found the rest of her not. Oldest boy not found and hopefully never was there, and he's living somewhere free of these women. I found movie to attempt to portray them as "so good they took on too much" ...this by many interviews of acquaintances. They had no friends per day. How dare anyone attempt to portray these women other than the monsters that they are... I think honest truth would have been a better choice if content. More interviews with needed with those that were there and saw it.

    Big failings

    This film fails in how it allows friends of the Hart family to make excuses for the two Hart women without confronting this behaviour. Instead, many of the talking heads place the blame on social media, or suggest the two Hart women were simply desperate or "insane". There is no evidence to suggest either. There IS evidence to suggest that they were aware of what they planned to do, which was/is murder, and evidence to suggest a pattern of abuse behind closed doors in that family home.

    That this film does not confront the making of excuses by the talking head friends of the family is truly infuriating, if not utterly disrespectful to the memory of the six(!) children whose lives were taken from them.

    Complete waste of time.

    Such potentially rich content reduced to talking heads and bad audio and production and no real information. Listen to the podcast instead. Felt like a really rushed job with perhaps skewed intentions. Calling this a documentary is a real stretch.

    This film is a disgusting apologia for child murderers

    A relative of mine worked this case. It is bad enough that this MASS murder of children took place. But the California investigators who could see all the clear signs these woke women killed them were hampered by woke poltical interference as well as media which promoted conspiracy theories instead of the obvious facts of the case.

    These women took the adopted kids to Ferguson and used them. They abused the kids in every way for years and years, yet various adoption authorities ignored the obvious signs of systematic abuse because, well, this was a gay couple and therefore no on should say anything negative about them.

    This was a mass murder of black kids. But even to this day the left wing nuts who made this "documentary" (and they are left wing producers) are denying the mountain of facts, including the objective data from the vehicle computer, that these two women MURDERED these kids.
