Braquages d'anthologie

Ignore the super low reviews. This documentary does not pretend to be serious and dramatic. The stories are told, first hand, by those who pulled them off, and they put a decent amount of money and effort into the dramatizations.

It's interesting, light hearted and fun.

I love watching documentaries, but it's like pulling teeth to get my fiancé to watch any with me. I begged her, after watching the first story myself to give it a shot. Turned out that everyone in the house loved it! We finished the whole series in a day. This documentary series has amazing cinematography with complex interviews, compelling scenes, and fantastic graphics. It takes a lot for me to sit down and watch TV all day, especially on a Saturday. However, this series had me hooked for a little over 4 straight hours and leaving me wishing there was more. Those who are giving this show a negative review either don't like seeing new concepts for documentaries, or they don't appreciate established work. Either way, this series is awesome and I can't wait for season 2!

The mini-series "Heist" thankfully wasn't about some gang of bank-robbers as seen on The FBI Files. It was, at least to me, an interesting look at obscure yet rather sensational solved robberies. More satisfying as such than those big crimes like The Gardner Museum art theft that will likely never be resolved.

Interviews with the actual perpetrators, as well as various law enforcement officials, increases the drama. The three stories here are wildly different in nature helping to create a compact series perfect for a binge-watch. This is done with the twist of dark comedy, but it is clear behind everything the cost was high casuing dire consequences. Recommended for true crime fans.

Watched all episodes today and I'm a big fan of true crime shows and documentaries. This was very well done and little bit different than usually. Very good all and all series. Highly recommend.

A unique and different take on true crime, the heist. The first two stories were well told and the documentaries well made. Didn't care for the bourbon one. Overall though, well made episodes that were interesting to watch.
