Black summer IS simply the best série about zombies ever, at least season1, that i've just seen when i am writing this critic.

Usually i don't find possible to run a show about post apo World, because heroes can't act anymore as Heroes usually do on other series, and because the showrunners need heroes whose spectators are going to attach to.

In post apo world, people don't do heroic things, sometimes betray, and often die. That's the purpose of Black Summer.

I am very interested in crime shows, and I didn't know at all this case, that frightened Spain in the early 90's. Netflix allows us to discover cases from abroad, not only US serial killers or italian mafia. Cases that have touched a country (in France, for instance, Gregory about a very famous case can be found on the streaming platform) 3 girls have been abducted at the same time, They haven't been found in a 3 month period, but when it happens, the perpetrators have been quickly spotted. Thus, this documentary is not interested in the investigation itself (too bad), but in the impact of media on it. That's why he leaves us with more questions than answers.

This doc pretends to denounce the corruption of crimes by media, but at the very end, is corrupting itself these odious murders of three young girls, by using it in a form of propaganda. Completely irrevelant.

For me, a good Columbo episode needs 4 ingredients : 1) its usual trademarks 2) a good murderer affrontment 3) a good deduction 4) a perfect crime

And this episode misses completely the fourth ingredient. How a crime mindmaster can elaborate such a weak criminal project? How can she just imagine that the victim won't try to show who's the murderer? How can a man die within the night in a rather big closet? And the story of the car key is nonsense, from the beginning to the end

Still the murderer is quite enjoyable to see (even if her crime is one of the most horrible perpetrated)
