Esto es un atraco: El mayor robo de arte del mundo

Admittedly, nothing earth shattering is revealed or solved, but having no prior knowledge, I found the case quite interesting. There's some humor and quite a cast of characters involved. The interviewees are credible, in most cases it's those who were there as it happened.

This has got to be an embarrassing case for the FBI, who put a lot of resources to no result in all this time. I'm now interested and would love to know who really took these pieces and where they've been for all these years.

This documentary series tells the story of the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and what happened there one night back in March 1990, the most infamous art theft in history.

The case itself is a fascinating one, one I studied years ago, you will be shocked, you'll be surprised, you may also get a tiny bit bored.

This four part documentary series, was too long, the first two episodes are very good, they should have made this a two part series, the last two parts drag a bit, and unfortunately lack any real content.

It's of course very well made, contains some very interesting details, you will see the ripple effect of the crime, it took its toll on so many people associated with The Museum.

Lots of old rogues and criminals, it really is a good old fashioned rogues gallery, interesting to learn the fate of those suspected.

After a good start it just becomes a little too slow and conjecture based. 6/10.

Modern documentaries have perfected the art of turning a one-hour show into four 50+ minute parts. Other than excessive length and fluff, the show was interesting and entertaining.

The plot starts off with thrill and surprise, explaining what really happened. Some neat building plans and perspectives. And then it goes down long frustrating rabbit holes of explaining how the mob works, how the mafia works, how small time crooks can be suspect, how art works are smuggled, how guards talk to dead art, how art is love etc.

There is nothing remotely thrilling about the story for large swathes, and it only manages to bore you out. The constant flashforwards become convoluting too. You could leave the show running for 3 episodes and you'd miss nothing.

One episode of facts, three episodes of speculation and conjecture. This didn't need to be four episodes long. Might have been a decent 60-90 minute documentary. But we live in an age of streaming where *everything* has to be stretched into a series.
