Atentado en Londres: La cacería tras las bombas del 7/7

This series is well done, but also paints a very very poor picture of Law Enforcement and Counterterrorism in London. These attacks were 4 years after 9/11, and one would think that major cities all over the world would look at the chaos that occurred and fix their response. One would be wrong. Law Enforcement as well as other first responders literally had no idea what to do. Again this is 4 YEARS, not days, not months, or weeks after 9/11 and they never decided to come up with and carry out training for all possible attacks. If Rick Rescorla could figure out how to create training scenarios for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center, then certainly London could run drills in their city. And it's the same BS we in America got :"Oh we had alQueda on a list, we just chose to ignore it" or "Well we really didn't think they were going to do anything because there was "no chatter" If that helps the unintelligence community sleep better at night........ But remember this, you all eventually get exposed for all the lies you tell.

Let me start by saying I watch a lot of crime documentaries, and I mean a lot.

This documentary series begins really well, it's a time line constructed by interviews, news reports and expert testimony that lays it all out really well. It explains it really well for people who are unfamiliar with it or weren't born at the time.

It starts falling apart in the 2nd episode. The narration is still there, but it's clearly trying to be as culturally sensitive as possible. I remember that day, and I remember those years. It did feel at times like they were attempting to minimise the extremism that permeated the world at that point. I appreciate the voices from Muslims who were there at the time, who spoke about how it didn't represent them. But despite the victims testimonies, it failed to capture the absolute fear and paranoia that gripped everyday people. Indicating people were unnecessarily 'bigotted' or people being profiled because people are just 'mean' was not needed. And the pointed repetition of 'homegrown' was so on the nose, by the end it was a little silly.

I understand the need to be a little careful when something still is a real world threat. And this is coming from someone with a Muslim partner. But this series really diluted what is a really big problem still.

This was a very interesting documentary about the 7/7 London bombings. The interviews with survivors and people who were there that day were definitely the strongest part.

The interview with the civil rights activist felt out of place and didn't really add anything. Suggesting that the police or investigators were being racist just because they were trying to find suspects based on the info they had isn't fair. Profiling, in the context of a manhunt, is a logical and necessary part of narrowing down suspects, based on the information available at the time, not on prejudice.

It's unfortunate that Netflix appears to include these elements to attract certain viewers or to appeal to activist narratives, rather than to enhance the factual quality of the documentary. Investigators have a duty to act on the best leads available, regardless of race, age, or gender, and suggesting otherwise distracts from the real story and the real victims. Doing otherwise would just mean they'd waste time.

Still, even though it got quite frustrating in the end, the documentary remains a worthwhile watch.

Im an American. I was 10 when 9/11 happened so ive seen plenty of documentaries about it over the decades. So I was excited to see someone had made a proper 7/7 documentary. A terrorist attack that seems to have been largely forgotten as a result of more recent ISIS attacks in Europe with significantly higher casualties. But as you will see in the documentary, it goes deeper than just 4 Jihadists on 7/7 who blew themselves up, and id say, for the most part. They did a great job portraying it.

With footage most of us likely have never seen before, interviews with high ranking police, intelligence operatives, and the warmonger Tony Blair himself, we get an interesting comprehensive look at what happened. Though I personally would not have structured it the way it was, possibly due to the lack of footage (unlike 9/11), this is how the had to do it, and thats ok because it was compelling to watch the scenes unfold. However, while I watched on with interest into the subsequent forensics investigation and later-on failed attack and manhunt, I was displeased with something thats been creeping in to these documentaries as of late. The "poor me, Muslim pity party".

Right in the middle of sections discussing forensics, police investigations, internal discussions at MI-5. We get stopped, jarringly by "human rights activists" and other of that ilk. And they go on and on and on about how THEY were persecuted, not the 50+ people heinously murdered by true Muslims, BUT THEM, apparently 50+ dead isn't enough right? We have to be victims too. I was old enough to clearly remember 9/11, I remember the justifiable backlash against Muslims. When we have a plethora of dead people, I and very few other people want to hear about how its not real Islam, because it is, ive studied it, ive fought it. People complaining about being searched by police. Of course you are, when a white Catholic does the same, go ahead and search me. Get out of here with that nonsense and get back to the true crime investigation I came here for. Not a slew of people pretending that what happened isnt actually true textbook Islam justified by their "Holy" texts.

So while one can just skip through those stupid interviews, the rest is fantastic and another example of how Netflix still can produce good documentaries despite a lull in quality as of late, this one stands above most of the recent Netflix documentaries.

At first I didn't want to watch this docu because when the preparators of a crime are muslims, the documentary usually is a lot biased. I like that this documentary also add muslim's viewpoint. Because I also live as a muslim minority and I had a lot of bad experience because of ISIS and other radical muslim terror. Islam that I learn is not bad. Islam that I know and learn is peaceful religion. And I always tried to become a good person so I can change people prespective about Islam. A lot of muslims suffer because of that small number of bad muslims. People are good and bad. Just because someone's faith, doesn't mean that the person is good or bad. I hope that this world become a better place for all good people.
