...but essentially pointless documentary mini series about the Malaysian airlines flight which disappeared between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing a few years back. I was vaguely aware of the story at the time but really didn't pay close attention so much of the story, as told in this documentary was new to me. At three one hour episodes it's a bit long and could've fitted easily into two. We hear a lot from the families of the victims but mostly this is just people saying how sad they were so we could've done without that. One such family member, a French man did have something important to say regarding his clandestine meeting with a French intelligence agent. The rest is a series of conspiracy theories ranging from pilot suicide to hijacking by Russia to the plane being shot down by American jets to prevent sensitive electronic equipment going to China. There's also some beach bum who claims to have found wreckage washed up on a Beach in Africa. Non of it really makes very much sense and what started off as an aviation mystery remains so in the end.
