O Desaparecimento de Birgit Meier

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.

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.

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.

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.

Go see this documentary if you are a true crime series fan. It is very well documented and the story and subject are very interesting. I was glued to the screen to see the outcome. It is also very sad and frustrating because you can see that the police is not doing their job very well.

Other reviewers said that it is too long. I didn't find it too long.

Thank you Netflix once again for bringing another crime documentary.
