The Diamond Heist

This series describes the story about a diamond heist in London from the point of a robber/thief, journalist and a cop.

It glorifies the life of the robber - who just wants to score because of money and status. Forgetting everything else - like his two daughters.

It has three episodes - and god might question why. This little story could easily have been told in one or two episodes - but hey: Netflix wanted a show.

Overall: very mediocre. It gives a glimpse of the prework before the heist. But is mainly repetitive. How often have we seen the clip with the boat or the spiked van? No, this is just too simple.

At times this one can be hard to follow so make sure you sit everything down and really watch it. This isn't a boring documentary about a Heist, you live it with both the crew trying to pull off the heist and the officers trying to stop it. You are brought along for the ride for the preparation, the execution, and the aftermath. You are never really sure how it is going to turn out as you question whether or not this crew has what it takes to pull off such a brazen and audacious attempt. This doc does a great job of exploring many different angles of a Heist of this magnitude, but it doesn't have the twists and turns you'd expect based on it being a whole series rather than a single documentary. I'd be curious to follow future documentaries by the same people because the production quality was great.

Nothing is more disgusting than rich people flaunting their wealth like it's some kind of art exhibition. This series taps straight into that twisted reality, and I loved every minute of it. The plot revolves around an attempt to steal a diamond, but honestly, I couldn't help rooting for the bandits. The so-called "victims" are dripping with greed, privilege, and ego, which makes the tension even more satisfying. Great acting, stylish production, and a sharp critique of the elite. More of this, please! Honestly! This is just an absolute pleasure to watch! So if you haven't then go for it just right now!

This is great insight to a wonderful caper!

To have the insight of the thieves, police and justice system is rare. It's a wonderful documentary.

My only gripe is the cuts to visuals of sharks etc. I think the viewer should be credited with more intelligence.

All of that said, this is compelling viewing.

We simply must! And not just monetarily compensate, but in street credibility as well - Dude even says how this hiest should have given him the respect he deserves - why are WE AS A SOCIETY rewarding them, even after they have served thier debt to society via incarceration - I just can't do it anymore and I wish that yall would join me - these stories can be told sans the criminals participant(s) and should do - we can recount or reenact in luie of giving these people exactly what the want (in some cases as much as the ill gotten gains) and don't get me wrong, I'm no saint and I'm more liberal than not, but this reward/redemption is problematic

I've given it a 5 because, as I've indicated, I chose to opt out soley on ethical (or I spose moral) reasons, the aforementioned reasons - and I did not feel it fair to penalize the film/filmmakers for this, but to be fair, I actually should, owing to everything I stated I feel strongly about - anyhow, I hope this resonates with some of yall.
