The Forgotten West Memphis Three

This is worthless. It feels like the guy who calls himself an "investigator" and claims he is going to try to finally find some real answers enjoys it a little bit too much to be in the spotlight himself while talking about how much he cares. 90% Of this documentary is old information, the rest is the guy talking about how he is going to finally do things right (hinting at how bad it was previously done, which is only partially true and mainly counts only for the West Arkansas police force and the prosecutors). I kept watching because I feel like only then I can truly make a claim on how good a show is, and I also couldn't help but stay curious until the end about whether there were going to be any new revelations, but no.

There is much new information, and many personal updates since the making of Paradise Lost(1996) and Paradise Lost 2(2010). * * * * * * POTENTIAL SPOILER FROM FIRST 10 MINS OF PROGRAMME!!! * * * Most obviously, that the accused were released in 2011. There are also post-release interviews (one off camera), with all three released men. The progress of DNA Validation/dismissal/discovery of witnesses. and so many other things that i can't mention without literally giving spoilers.

As for the 'host' who as a trained fire investigator, with proven skills as a crime investigator, is more than just a host. He speaks coherently and passionately to camera. Nor does he use jargon that would exclude the audience, when he consults with fellow crime/investigation professionals.

Of course, much of the media and court footage has been seen before but it is impossible to avoid showing this if one is to tell the story from beginning up to the current point - 2019. However there is much new footage, and often the older footage was used in a different context - if you watch then you will see what i mean.

No new facts added, no extra light shed on the incident. Just a charmless, unlikeable guy covering old ground whilst occasionally going "wow" like he has just uncovered some sort of case breaking fact

This investigative series sheds no light on the murder of 3 eight year old boys, sheds nothing new on the crime. Bob Ruff is out of his league as the host. Don't waste your time. Better you should watch the HBO program 'Paradise Lost' and 'Paradise Lost 2'.

Some idiot calling himself an investigator who goes back to ground zero. Totally boring and uninspired .He talks to camera when the camera should be on the area and is more interested in his claimed investigator status. Rewatch Paradise Lost a real documnetary, which this is not in any real sense
