    Packing 60 Minutes into 210

    Modern documentaries have perfected the art of turning a one-hour show into four 50+ minute parts. Other than excessive length and fluff, the show was interesting and entertaining.

    It's an interesting story.

    This documentary series tells the story of the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and what happened there one night back in March 1990, the most infamous art theft in history.

    The case itself is a fascinating one, one I studied years ago, you will be shocked, you'll be surprised, you may also get a tiny bit bored.

    This four part documentary series, was too long, the first two episodes are very good, they should have made this a two part series, the last two parts drag a bit, and unfortunately lack any real content.

    It's of course very well made, contains some very interesting details, you will see the ripple effect of the crime, it took its toll on so many people associated with The Museum.

    Lots of old rogues and criminals, it really is a good old fashioned rogues gallery, interesting to learn the fate of those suspected.

    After a good start it just becomes a little too slow and conjecture based. 6/10.

    This can be a 45 minute Documentary

    The plot starts off with thrill and surprise, explaining what really happened. Some neat building plans and perspectives. And then it goes down long frustrating rabbit holes of explaining how the mob works, how the mafia works, how small time crooks can be suspect, how art works are smuggled, how guards talk to dead art, how art is love etc.

    There is nothing remotely thrilling about the story for large swathes, and it only manages to bore you out. The constant flashforwards become convoluting too. You could leave the show running for 3 episodes and you'd miss nothing.

    Snyder-cut it and re release it please

    This documentary had a killer title, but it was such a drag to watch.

    It feels badly put together. The music is really distracting and too loud. It's hard to focus on the interviews.

    It's an ADHD nightmare. I couldn't really focus on anything because it kept jumping from one thing to another without really putting the pieces together or closing any topic.
