    Netflix can stretch better than a rubber

    Good documentary but stretched unnecessarily.

    Netflix can make these with in 90 mins but they drag it for no reason. But, anyone who likes watching real crime documentary will like it.

    Excellent true crime documentary

    Go see this documentary if you are a true crime series fan. It is very well documented and the story and subject are very interesting. I was glued to the screen to see the outcome. It is also very sad and frustrating because you can see that the police is not doing their job very well.

    Other reviewers said that it is too long. I didn't find it too long.

    Thank you Netflix once again for bringing another crime documentary.

    Not just the story of a crime

    Don't be fooled into thinking this is your run of the mill true crime story. It's so much more. Everyone should be loved as much as Birgit Meier.

    I like to think that my family would have looked for me this hard. Honor to the family & loved ones of Birgit Meier.

    Dig Deeper: The Disappearance of Birgit Meier (2021)

    Dig Deeper: The Disappearance of Birgit Meier

    Stupidity Plus Laziness Equals Yet Another Unsolved Crime

    This documentary has a better flow than most.

    Do German police investigators receive any special schoolings? It would appear that they do not. German police investigating a crime wear no latex gloves. Why not?

    Once again the police prove themselves to be both ignorant and arrogant. NO ONE just leaves, abandoning their beloved pets to starve to death. So much for two of the four police theories; of Birgit being a "drop out" or of her committing suicide. That leaves them, then, with death by accident and death "by crime".

    Barely eleven minutes in and the police detectives are already considering whether or not to consult with a psychic.

    We observe the police manhunt searching outside; literally beating about with old tree limbs.

    Regarding the I. D. from the mailbox: Any adult knows that, without some sort of personal identification, one's ability to travel or get money from the bank is severely curtailed.

    Slow-burn, but might be worth your time.

    The show had me like - "Wooow!" and not for the reasons I'd expect from a show like this.

    Without revealing much, the story is, of course, about true crime from 1989 and incompetence that made people look for answers for so long. You'd think people in power could pull things off, but this doc throws light on how that may not always be the case.

    The storytelling/narration and the cinematography were good . I think overall show could have been SO MUCH better it were a 1.5 hr vid or a 2-ep series, because it felt kinda slow for 4 eps but I didn't mind it.

    I think you might enjoy it more if you watch it in German. It's a slow-burn, but might be worth your time.
