Homicídio na Costa do Sol

Alur pelaku mirip sama unlimited series 'Unbelievable'. Feel sorry for Delores who have to struggling after she was released and no one came to her to say sorry.

Not surprised a wrong conviction was initially reached in an environment where there's endless talking and impassioned feelings but very little reasoning. In many societies, people wouldn't hesitate to judge, self-express, give opinions, and react, but very few are willing to reason, listen, analyze, question, and look at things from multiple perspectives.

What starts off as a generic true crime doc takes a few turns here and there that you may not see coming. The show has a lot of original interviews and some GOOD new shots of the coast of Malaga.

As it is the case with crime docs, it shows the dark side of an individual, but also that of the society along with its selfishness and greed.

It's a quick short watch. Check it out!

Murder by the Coast is a Netflix true-crime documentary that is part-Spanish-part-English. It qualifies as a whodunnit, a case of wrongful conviction, and yet another instance of multiple women being mistreated. Writer-director Tània Balló approaches the murder case(s) objectively, never taking sides or focusing on wild theories surrounding it. The individuals picked for the interviews shed further light on two separate incidents of murder in a very direct, factual manner. Any text that appears within the film is shown first in Spanish, followed by English. This style encapsulates the Spanish-British story overlap in a perfect way. With a run-time of under 90 minutes, Murder by the Coast makes for crisp viewing.

Coming to the incidents themselves, the documentary makes you feel for its central characters and questions the unfair nature of media trials. The trauma inflicted upon the women - ranging from the mothers of the murder victims, the lesbian who was convicted because she easily "fit the profile" (are you serious?), the woman who was attacked and left severely injured by the offender, the ex-wife of the offender - are all showcased without distorting facts or overplaying emotions. I'd have loved to see a short interview of Dolores Vázquez where she could speak against the miscarriage of justice meted out to her. The authorities who allowed Tony Alexander King to commit more murders and the media which resorted to feeding frenzy should both be ashamed of themselves.

A very interesting documentary from Netflix, it focuses on the murder of two young women, and a quick conviction.

It's an interesting case of crime and murder across Britain and Spain, you will hear some harrowing testimonies and some shocking facts.

I feel a little awkward commenting on cases such as these, as the events are clearly still raw for so many concerned.

The initial conviction, gives you an idea of how powerful prejudices can be, and how a jury can clearly be influenced by a passionate case. I do hope she got a settlement for the misery they caused her.

I vaguely remember something about The Holloway Strangler, it amazes me how someone can live a virtually normal life, and function like an ordinary person, but love with the horror of his crimes, baffling.

Very interesting, 7/10.
