The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

I got my closure watching just first 30 minutes of the show. When you are putting your 3 yr old kids to sleep in separate building alone without any sitter and dine out with friends in a foreign city what do you expect. Predators are lurking everywhere in the world and have very keen eyes. They can snatch your kid in an instant if you are not with them.I put all blame on the parents to put a toddler to sleep alone in an unlocked apartment and doing long dinner so far away. It's like an open invitation to strangers to come take their kids. This is beyond my understanding. My heart cries for beautiful child Madeleine.

I was a hard core staunch believer that the McCanns had accidentally killed their daughter and covered it up. I had read the book, The Truth of the Lie, and I read case files found on the internet. I also watched lots of YouTube documentaries on how to tell when people are lying and how Gerry McCann was a great example of a liar, which compounded my opinion. I was convinced. They did it!

However now, after watching this Netflix documentary I'm not so sure. Other reviews are critizing this saying there's nothing new being said but that's simply not true. There are episodes that go into what the private dectectives found and uncovered that I would suspect most people didn't know about, etc.

So yes there will be new information you'll learn. Will it be a lot? Probably doubtful as it's been such a high profile case for over a decade, however the information I found interesting was enough to make me question my personal opinions.

Is there a conclusion? Of course not. We all know that. So people complaining about that aspect need to get real!

I do agree however that this could have been a much shorter documentary. They definitely dragged it out way too long. But if you're interested in the case then you'll watch it.

I watched all 8 episodes. If you have a strong interest in the case, then you are more than likely going to watch it regardless. Typical Netflix documentary. Slick titles, quite nicely shot, albeit a lot of repetitive scenes and drone footage of the beach and town.

However, I'm afraid to say that you are not going to learn a lot from it, if you have already followed the story from the outset.

A fairly good watch though, if it's a week before payday and you're skint and you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Interesting story. Glad to become more familiar with the history. Certainly no need to drag it over 8 episodes. Very slow and repetitive at times.

It's intriguing at first but it just drags on through every episode. Could've been maybe two or three and it would've been fine
