MH370: The Plane That Disappeared

I swear 9 out of 10 documentaries on Netflix follow the basic outline of:

1. Being way too long and could really be condensed into 90-120 min.

2. Start out ok but eventually drift into the unknown so they theorize what may have happened.

3. By the 3rd episode the conspiracy theories take precedence to what the actual documentary is about.

This story is a sad incident and it sucks that this documentary took this classic Netflix turn and got hijacked by that dude that talked way too much. Seriously, did they run out of people to interview? Instead you gave most of the screen time to the guy that suggested Russians hatched some elaborate scheme to bury a Russian invasion from the media? Wtf! Haha. I'm sorry but I really wanted to see this as the real story was odd but this was bad all around.

I remember when MH370 went missing and the world going into a frenzy over what happened. I agreed with so many who said how could a Boeing Jet in todays world just disappear. With all the technology and satellites we have today, how could a plane on the grid, suddenly fall off the grid?

And that's what the documentary focused on, the unexplainable and all the conspiracy theories that unfolded. Now to be clear, the documentary does not endorse any theory. It presents all the theories, some bizarre ones, and the main personalities and authorities involved. If people wanted the solution as to what happened to the plane, they need to get their head checked. No one knows for sure what happened. The plane and all those people disappeared and it has been years. Speculation and yes some over the top theories is all we have. If you are frustrated about not having any concrete evidence, imagine how the families feel. I will stress that again, there is no concrete evidence to arrive at a credible theory or explanation. So not sure what some people expected with this mini-series.

Three episodes, three feasible conspiracy theories with all the underlying evidence exposed ... the third one is the best and least believable ... or is it?

This docudrama takes you through a timeline from the first instance MH370 being missed to the eventual dropping of the search in the South Indian Ocean.

There are heartbreaking interviews with family member of the missing plus team members of the search teams. All of which are searching for an answer to the disappearance of loved ones. Sometimes these are angry but all agree that they're not being told the truth.

But is the truth out there?

So much significance is given to theories that make no sense! Instead of interviewing the key people who could provide a plausible explanation, netflix chose to make this docuseries a movie for eyeballs.

It would have been better if they would have just recreated a scene based on actual data.

I was hoping to get better insights or at least an unbiased documentary but it provides neither.

I don't know why they never mentioned in the documentary that some of the personal belongings of the people were also found in Madagascar (make it more believable that the plane actually went down in Southern Indian ocean, agreeing with the data).

This is just a disappointingly long documentary that is like my uncle's stories; they lead to nothing!

There are so many conspiracy theories presented in this "documentary" with zero evidence whatsoever. The main theorist, Jeff Wise, has multiple bizarre chains of events that he has concocted in his mind based with no evidence to support his theories. He ascribes no motive to any of the people or governments to whom he tries to blame (eg the pilot, three Russian passengers, etc). I'm surprised Netflix thought this was fit to air.

He has done no research into the private lives of the pilot (who he smeared for 10 minutes before saying, "oh, maybe it wasn't him) or the three Russian men. This "documentary" is utter tabloid garbage.
