Still a mystery

Good overview of a story I remember from all those years ago (I'm Irish). The pain of sophie's family is harrowing, the limitations of evidence frustrating, all that's left is gut human instinct of who is really telling the truth?

Well Made Limited Series

It's a real story, well made but still mysterious.

This is a Story of a lady who was murdered in suspicious circumstances in Ireland where no murder was reported since last 100 years. To the point seriers (Only 3 episodes) not at all dragged.

I just binged watch for few minutes and could not stop myself by watching all the episodes in one go.

Go for it without any doubt without reading about it, you wouldn't regret.

We need more documentary shows like this!!

This kind of documentary show needs more appreciation. The crews interviewed many eye witnesses, dug old footages and even went back and forth between Ireland and French to show what happened.

It also shows no bias. All were interviewed. All available documents were presented. Two sides of the coin were covered so that audience don't have any doubt whatsoever, or or vice versa, even more doubtful?!

Very Disheartening, But Well Done

An excellent example of police incompetence coupled with the tendency for male-oriented power structures to protect men guilty of crimes against women. The documentary was generally well done (with one major flaw). The outcome was depressing. Sadly, people don't understand or recognize mental illness. That was the flaw in the series, as the accused's mental illness was plain for many in the audience to see, yet it was never addressed in any way. I will never see Ireland quite the same way.

Interesting documentary

Such a picturesque town! And a sad story. I felt for her son.

I'm not sure why we didn't get more information about her husband.

There was some missing information but all in all a well done documentary that was interesting from beginning to end. I like that it was only 3 episodes and didn't drag on.
