MH370: The Plane That Disappeared

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.

In its attempt to introduce new angles and material not seen before it has focused far too much on conspiracy (painted as seemingly viable alternatives to the current evidence-based versions available). This mystery-tragedy has left hundreds of people without their loved ones and they deserve more than conspiracy and speculation. This series provided a platform for rabbit holes, and gave far too little airtime to the individuals providing scientific and credible information and insights into this missing aircraft. It's hard to see what the point of this docu-series is, aside from trying to introduce new, fresh narratives at any cost.

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.

The story behind the disappearance of MH370 is a tragic mystery that deserves serious and careful analysis. Alas this three-episodes series devotes most of its time and attention to crackpots who are peddling moronic "double-agents in the CIA met with the Uzbekistani navy at Roswell to recruit Bigfoot to steal the plane" conspiracy theories; and, even worse, it gives a sympathetic platform to the cynical creeps who are exploiting the families of the passengers for fame and money. These people are disgusting, particularly a French "journalist" preying on the hope and denial of a grieving father and husband.

Although the series does also briefly present more rational perspectives, it never effectively challenges the crackpots and con-artists' sophistry.

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!
