Killer TV

Brilliant documentary.... But I still can't decide if he's guilty or not, which shows what a great job the documentary makers made of creating an unbiased program. I'm leaning towards he was innocent, and the Families of the North were responsible..... What do YOU think?

I never knew about this guy or his TV show. Excellent storytelling and thumbs up for the creators of this documentary. It was very interesting. At the end of the final episode I cannot say if he was guilty or not. I think the truth was somewhere in the middle. What is clear is that the media dramatized everything and the prosecutors exaggerated the accusations. The sad part of everything is that there is a big problem with the corruption and criminality in Brazil. I don't say that every Brazilian is corrupt or a criminal but they have a big problem there and a lot of innocent people suffer because of that.

Now this is how documentaries should be made! The flow is nice and there are many twists. Certainly not biased and let's the viewer decide and best of all it is entertaining. Thank you and thank God I don't leave in Manaus

What a surprise! This documentary was unusually well done: very detailed, mostly unbiased (to my non Brazilian eyes at least) and engaging. Some parts were a bit too long but the pacing was overall good: I really wanted to know more about what happened and the interviews were interesting and not just a boring filler.

I am always on the lookout for the latest documentaries on true crime or related subjects, and I found this one, despite having never heard about this case (which always makes reading or watching something about the subject that much more interesting).

You can sense the Netflix production values and skills of those involved - it is very well edited, spaced and the interviews are very well interspersed with footage and a cohesive story-line.

During the first couple of episodes, I still had no idea regarding the protagonist's innocence or guilt, the series will lead your opinion one way, then completely drop a bombshell pointing to the other way (currently on the final episode and I am still on the fence) but both sides are really well portrayed and give the viewer a very tumultuous yet informed viewpoint of the entire picture, and what was going on.

It provides a great insight on both the raw violence, and effects of murders and drug-related fatalities, as much as it highlights the deficiencies of the media portrayal of these events, and the political tactics and string-pulling in the background.

The final two/three episodes seem a little drawn out and I feel it could have been condensed into 4 or 5 episodes. I have to laud the unbiased viewpoint of the series (compare it to something terribly biased such as the likewise Netflix-produced 'Knox' documentary), it is refreshing and really unusual subject, a highly recommended watch!
