Horrible docuseries. Thank God Mike Exner agreed to participate and save it from devolving into a complete conspiracy theory fest. Mark Dickinson of Inmarsat and Pete Foley also lent sanity to the series, albeit for only the few seconds of interview time Netflix thought it appropriate to include. Even Blaine Gibson (who I admittedly assumed would be one of the nuttier personalities) was one of the few more rational voices.
I feel for these families. Really, I do. But it's clear that some of them are struggling so much with their grief and with not having answers that they're buying into far-fetched theories they would likely never have entertained 15 years ago. I hope they're given closure one day but the idea that this was some global conspiracy involving no less than 3 major countries to take down your average commercial flight is not going to give it to them. And shame on The Intercept's de Changy who's profiting like a MFer off both this tragedy and the heartbreak of the victims' families.
I agree we need answers but none of the ridiculous conspiracies posited in this docuseries is a plausible explanation.
I would have much preferred a FACTUAL docuseries focusing on the accident itself, the investigation that followed, and the 239 souls lost. I mean, you could have just interviewed Mike Exner, Mark Dickinson, and Pete Foley. Hell, you had them right there. I would have loved to hear their theories about what happened.

The negative reviews seem to be from people upset about the topic of the series, rather than the series itself. I thought it was excellent. Who knew Emmy was a character actor? She really blew me away. I kept forgetting it was her. I don't think she could have picked a better project with which to follow up her time on Shameless. Brilliant career move.
Some of these reviews are a little comical. Do you really think we want to watch a bunch of people walking amongst piles of garbage and holding their noses to shield themselves from each others' stench? I'll forsake a little historical accuracy in exchange for something pleasurable to watch. If I want to see 100% historical accuracy about the era, I'll watch a documentary.
Downton Abbey wasn't always historically accurate either nor did it always depict relationships between the classes as they likely were back then. Who cares? It makes for a good story. I enjoyed Downton Abbey and have enjoyed the first season of The Gilded Age, particularly the season finale. I'm very much looking forward to Season 2.
