Dig Deeper - Das Verschwinden von Birgit Meier

What starts out as a missing persons case but then appears to be a murder turns out to be something even worse. That's all I can say without spoilers.

Most fun I've had watching a limited series (only four episodes) in a long time. You'll definitely be thinking about it afterward.

Straight-up documentary--no narrator, host or silly music. But what a story. Beautifully filmed too.

It is a well known case in Germany, belonging to the so called Goehrde murders. There was a German TV which was much better than the docu covering the other murders as well. Netflix docus are too long in general, which is killing the suspense.

The show had me like - "Wooow!" and not for the reasons I'd expect from a show like this.

Without revealing much, the story is, of course, about true crime from 1989 and incompetence that made people look for answers for so long. You'd think people in power could pull things off, but this doc throws light on how that may not always be the case.

The storytelling/narration and the cinematography were good . I think overall show could have been SO MUCH better it were a 1.5 hr vid or a 2-ep series, because it felt kinda slow for 4 eps but I didn't mind it.

I think you might enjoy it more if you watch it in German. It's a slow-burn, but might be worth your time.

Good documentary but stretched unnecessarily.

Netflix can make these with in 90 mins but they drag it for no reason. But, anyone who likes watching real crime documentary will like it.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is your run of the mill true crime story. It's so much more. Everyone should be loved as much as Birgit Meier.

I like to think that my family would have looked for me this hard. Honor to the family & loved ones of Birgit Meier.
