Scène de crime

This is a fascinating story which deserves to be grippingly told, but between all the pointless youtuber opinions and the overly drawn-out narrative of the hotel's past I lost interest quickly. Classic Netflix doc - it would have been a riveting 2 hour tale but it felt very diluted across 4 episodes.

Sherlock Holmes eat your heart out. An hour documentary stretched to four. First episode excellent. Very insightful into the Skid Row area, something I wasn't aware of. Good footage of inside the hotel. Falls off a cliff when Morbid comes onto the screen, who has nothing to do with it except he once went there. Stretched out in typical Netflix fashion. What's the library code/ cemetery location about? Some good questions remain. Overall a very interesting case.

Am very much interested in the subject matter, and the history surrounding the Cecil hotel. I really enjoyed the interviews with the hotel employees, but I was hoping to learn more about the actual forensic investigation. Yes, LAPD is a part of this documentary, but the YouTuber angle, ughh. Whiny, unhelpful, and super bloated. They literally added nothing of true value to the investigation. Zilch. Also, if you're any kind of traveler, investigate the property, the surroundings in the environment of where you're going! How do people travel, especially internationally, not do this?!?

Will Netflix ever learn that their true crime documentaries don't need to be 4 hours long? Even the Night Stalker felt long & drawn out when that spanned years. Apart from the elevator footage & uncovering the body, what else really happened?? And who are these nut jobs who don't even know Elisa but are behaving like they lost a love one & going to the crime scene 10-20 times. Finding internet fame over the death of someone else doesn't sit right with me. I feel like Buzzfeed Unsolved did a better episode on the Cecil Hotel. Save some time & watch that instead.

Someone seriously needs to check out the dude from that web Schume that is talking about Elisa like he knows her. The guy literally made someone go to a grave site to touch her gravestone for him and talked about her legacy like she was Kobe Bryant. Got bless her and rest her soul but some of these people for some real issues to have the time to act like their going thru this case like they were concerned for her when really it seems more like they used her story for clickbate and watch time. Was the story unique and intriguing, yes but these people must have ALOT of time on their hands to do all they did like they knew her.
